Re: all interior lights dont work
I'd go through all the fuses pulling them one by one. If the fuse isn't blow then you have a bigger problem

Re: all interior lights dont work
It might be worthwhile to check out the wiring to the sun visors. Many odd problems such as these have been a result of broken or frayed wires.
Do a search starting HERE .

Re: all interior lights dont work
^^ That seems wasteful. Apologies.
If the lighter works, the visor lamps shouldn't be used as a diagnosis for this problem; they're unrelated this far down the line. Does your rear wiper work? If not, I'd be with Nate on the time control unit. Believe it - your interior lights, rear defroster, and rear wiper are all tied into it.

Re: all interior lights dont work
Sorry about the link. I just typed sun visor wires into the regular search box and got a listing of various electrical scenarios.
