Has the gauge panel dimmer switch , just to the right of your headlight switch ,
been turned all the way down ? That will keep your interior lights from coming on
when you open the door
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.
If the lights come on but do not flash then flasher relay is defective. If the do not even come on either a fuse is blown or a bulb is blown.
Just to the right of the headlight switch on your dash is a dimmer wheel switch for your gauge lighting , if the switch is rotated all the way down ( past the detent ) the interior lights won't come on . Also , if the switch is rotated all the way up ( past the detent ) the interior lights will come on with the doors closed
pull out the fuse ----------------------------------- rotate your gauge lighting dimmer wheel all the way down ( to the right of your headlight switch ) that shuts off the interior lights so they won't come on when a door is opened
If the interior lights do not come on it could be because the bulbs burned out. It can also be because the fuse blew out as well.
The dome light has a switch that has an off position. Any other lights you can simply remove the bulbs.
1999 - 2005 Models:Set dome light position to "Auto". It's that simple.
On the interior lights for the back seats, there is a switch. When you turn the switch to "Door" mode it will make the lights turn on when the door is opened.
Bad door switch or bad headlight switch
If only the interior lights won't work, check the fuses.
In my 02 Aztek, I turn the headlight knob (on the dash left of the steering wheel, above your left knee) clockwise to get the interior lights to come on.
