Re: No interior or trunk lights
It seems the door mechanism, upon closing, act as a normally closed circuit. The lift gate (hatch), responds in this manner as well, sending a signal (open, closed,ajar) to the central locking pump/security system module and body control module.

Re: No interior or trunk lights
No switch. Here once again the BCM ( Body Control Module) rears it's ugly head.
( remember the info on it controlling the spoiler ? )
The BCM monitors the door and cargo switches and it decides to turn the lights on for you, and to also do that slowly dimming to off function for them.

It was these that made me ask for the unit to be studied in use before the cover was put back on. Taking notes of the part numbers it might be possible to identify the purpose of some of these parts. The unit is not a mystical box and simple repairs can be made.I would take a guess and say the little black box in the top left corner is a timer/fade switch.

Yes, you are correct.
I realized after I made my post that I was not exactly correct, but I was too lazy to go back and correct it, besides, I knew you would
