If the interior and parking lights are not working on a 1999 Nissan Pathfinder, the first fuses to check would be the interior light fuse. Also check to make sure the light switch is in the right position to allow the interior lights to come on.
First: make sure that the switch on the light(s) is set to the correct position. There are 3 positions on this switch; #1-completely off all the time; position #2-completely on all the time; and, position #3-operates when the door opens and closes. Second: If you have power mirrors; check and see that they operate. The same fuse that controls the interior lights also controls the mirrors. Lastly: on the fuse board located underneath the the left side of the dash; check fuse #35 (7.5 amp).
There should be a switch that has three positions, one position to have the courtesy lights come on only when doors are opened, another position to turn courtesy lights off completely and another position to have courtesy lights stay on continually.
The interior light on my (01 reg) Punto is the light itself. It operates as a 3 position rocker switch:- 1) Light on all the time (LHS pushed up) 2) Light comes on when doors open ( Centre posn) 3) Light off all the time (RHS pushed up)

The interior light switch may be in the off position or the fuse is blown.
Two possibilities; the dash switch is set to ON that operates the interior lights, or one or more of the switches that detect a door open has failed.
You've probably got a flashing fuse placed into the interior light fuse position, there are two fuse boxes, one below the steering area, and one under the hood. Find the interior lights fuse and replace it.
make sure the selector switch for the lights in in the right position you may have put it to on accidentally
If its a series 2 (roughly 1998 - 2004) the interior lights shut themselves off after about a minute. If the engine is running and you shut the door and reopen it the lights will come back on. If the engine is off the lights will not come on when you reopen the door - you'll have to turn the key on first * On the 96 Disco you can turn off the interior light by moving the headliner lamp switch (3 position)to the off position.
If the interior lights in a vehicle will not go off, first one should make sure all doors are closed. Then one should find the switch on the roof of the vehicle and make sure it is not turned to the on position.
I think that if you wish your lights to be on during the day you have to bring your keys, all of them, to the dealer and he will be able to program them so that your car operates with lights on all the time.
