Interior lights dont work when door opens. I checked the bulb and fuse and they are okay. The switch is in the correct position.
Is there something else I need to check?

You may just have a door switch that is bad if they don't come on when just one door opens, if they don't come on at all it may be a bigger issue. If one door, test for continuity through the switch with door open

See the guide below on using a volt meter to do this
