Default No interior light when doors open

I have a 1998 jeep cherokee 4 door and when i open the doors the only light that comes on is the very rear trunk one... but i can turn the interior lights on with the toggle switch and also each one turns on seperatly when the actual light is pressed.. any ideas? Thanks

Check continuity on the yellow (on the overhead light) wire to ground with the doors open.If no continuity wire is broken somewhere.

You can run a wire from the front light to the cargo light.
