Interior lights/door locks

I haven't had the time to even check out what could be wrong here, but about five months ago the interior lights and the auto door locks went out in my car. Everything except the horn and the auto door locks and int. lights work.

When it initially went out you could move some of the wires under the dash and the lights/door locks would flicker in and out of power. That doesn't do anything anymore.

Does anyone have any ideas?

No, I'll check tomorrow and update. Do you think it can be a fuse even though moving the wires used to make the lights come on?

Re: Interior lights/door locks

If the power mirrors, third brake light, radio, and lighter also don't work, they're all on the same fuse. If you replace the fuse and it blows immediately suspect a shorted out lighter socket. That happened to me and several people I know. It's something on that circuit, maybe related to wherever the wires you speak of connect to
