Default interior light does not come on

When I open either of my doors, the interior light does not come on. I recently replaced the ignition

click me for the back story

and did not hook up the little clip that activates the door dinger. Is that my smoking gun? Thanks

if youre reffering to the switch that is in the door jamb, then yes.

doller, it's not the one in the jamb. It's the little clip that attaches to the ignition cylinder in the column. Sorry for not clarifying that.

actually that only controls whether the dome light is on permenantly or activated by the doors, besides that all it does is dim the gauge led's and other dash lights.

The lights work. I should have pointed that out in the first place. They all work manually, which would rule out a bad bulb or fuse. They just don't come on automatically when I open the door.
