Lights in the Passenger Side Door Not Working.

I have a strange issue that I've just noticed. None of the lights on the passenger side door are working. My courtesy light, door sill light and window switch illumination (supposed to come on when headlights are switched on) are not working on my passenger side door.

The window works as normal and the footwell light works...but not the courtesy light, door sill light and window switch light.
I checked all the fuses in the footwell panel of the driver's side and they all look good. I'm completely baffled...any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Have you toggled the overhead middle switch?

I have illuminated LED door sill lights. Not standard on a 997.1 If the center rocker switch on the overhead is not in the middle it will affect your sills and your foot well lights but your door courtesy lights should still stay on?

Yeah, I've tried all 3 positions..the driver side door sill light comes on but not the passenger side. I'm thinking all the lights in the passenger door are somehow linked?
Is there a relay or something that controls all the lights in the door?
I've checked all the fuses in the driver side footwell and they all looked good.

Are they LED? I bought LEDs from sun coast and the bulbs fall out needing to be put back in. I would start by making sure the bulbs are seated well.

It's probably because it's a 997.2 and totally different from the 997.1? I haven't had an issue at all with my LEDS throughout mine? Hopefully someone will chime in soon to help? Good luck!

Stock bulbs...door sill light looks to be LED (white light) and the courtesy light and window switch illumination are non-led.

997.1 and 997.2 appear to be the same...I had a .1 prior to a .2. I'm thinking it's something these 3 lights are connected to? I'm completely baffled and it's rare that search doesn't yield anybody else ever having the same issue
