Default No dome light or headlight/ key buzzer

Hey guys, I just got this truck last week and iv been trying to figure out why I don't have a dome light or a headlight, key, or door buzzer since I got the truck, neither door turns the light on, I put a new bulb in, and the head light switch doesn't even turn it on. I popped the driver side panel off and didn't see a fuse but I went ahead and check them all and they all look good. Where else should I look

IOD fuse in the side of the dash. It's cleverly concealed by a plastic cover.

I checked the fuse and the only fuse out is my 20a cig fuse. Iod fuse is good. I noticed that my door jamb switch was broken so I swapped it out with my passenger side and I have the buzzer and chimes back but still no dome light

Switches and such generally provide ground path. If you don't have it yet, grab the service manual for your truck from here. Have a look at the wiring diagrams.

I've got similar problem, I have the buzzer, but no interior lights, or key light. Fuse is good
