I checked the fuses and replaced the buttons at the doors thats supposed to make them come on, the buzzer works now. There's no voltage at the wires at the cabin lights.
I'm not sure where to go from here.
Thanks

yeah the lights on the roof. theres the one in front thats supposed to turn on when you open the doors then 2 with switches you should be able to turn on and off whenever then one in the back thats supposed to turn on when you open the hatch.
I know I could keep a flashlight lol. But I'd like everything to work like its supposed to, I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

Check the little pegs on the door. They are not grounded the way they are suppose to. Rust builds up inside and kills the ground>

Replacing them does not mean you have a good ground, if rust, loose paint or anything else is in the way they may not have a good ground. Test them with an ohm meter and check for sure. You can also check for voltage 12V across the two wires for the switch. No voltage=fuse out or broken wire some place.
You should also be able to touch the wire together and the light should light up. That would complete the cercuit.
I would try those three things first.

theres only one wire at each of the doors and 2 on the drivers, one on the drivers I believe goes to the door buzzer and that works. so you mean from the wire to ground (body)?
