Default Personal rear light doesn't turn on automatically.

Personal rear light doesn't turn on automatically when the door is open. The other side works. Anyone can tell me what seems to be the problem?

x2. If you can manually turn the light on, but it doesn't turn on when you open the door, you probably have a door switch issue.

Yes. Exactly. The other works fine. I was working on the interior lights then I had a blown fuse because of the same door. Now when I replaced the fuse, everything worked well except that door.

Switch that turns on/off the top light is in the door latch.
