Map and dome lights don't work at all. checked fuse under the hood and inside on the passenger side. both were good. just for good measure since the car is well used i put new fuses in anyway. still nothing.

Try opening other doors beside the driver's door. This can help test the door switches, if that does work, please check for power at the two fuses.

this guide can help:

Under hood fuse panel #16 and #15, and fuse #2 in the interior fuse panel. Here are the wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works, you may have a driver's side MICU that needs to be replaced. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
