When I open the driver side door the interior lights do not come on, all other doors work. Any ideas?
 






Bet the "DOOR AJAR" indicator in the cluster doesn't either does it?

- broken wire somewhere from the switch (so the ground signal never gets back to tell the door opened)
- broken switch in the latch (the switch never makes a ground connection to tell the door opened)
- broken ground wire to the switch (everything mentioned before works, but the switch doesn't have a ground to connect to, to tell the door is open)

not really high tech stuff, do a search there have been some posts about the door ajar switch before.
 






Had the same issue on my '05. It was a broken wire near the switch. Take the door panel off and look inside and I bet you see a broken wire.
