My interior lights don't come on when the driver's door handle is lifted. I had the door apart a few months ago to replace the lock assembly and while I was there, I verified that I was getting a good ground on the wire that feeds into the Light Control Module when the door handle is lifted. I am.

The lights come on when the doors are opened, but according to the car's schematics, they're supposed to come on when the handle is lifted, which triggers the "delayed off" feature.

I figure my control module must be toast, but I have no idea where it is! (The ETM doesn't list its location)

It's a long black relay located under the steering wheel. Pull the panel off below the steering wheel and it's right there. Mine doesn't work either and I've replaced two relays.
