Recently purchased the car listed above. The car is great, and I have no complaints aside from the courtesy lights don't come on unless the key is in the ignition and is set to the on position. I have checked the button in my door and I am going to look at the fuses in the morning, was curious if anyone else had any ideas?

Okay, I would check the CTSY fuse in the fuse panel inside the car. Here is a guide to help you and I have included the courtesy lights wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works.

This worked great! My courtesy lights work now, but now the pioneer radio I have doesn't turn off when the car is powered off.
