Some cars are set up that way, where power will still be supplied to some systems (such as the radio and the power windows).

You'll have to remove the trim from the door panel and replace that component.

Dome lights and lighter... double check that fuse. It should be the one marked "courtesy" in your fuse panel. If I remember correctly, it's a 20 amp ATM fuse. If that's not the problem, you'll have to trace the wiring and see if there's a ground fault somewhere in the wiring.
