Electrical tech questions.

I know I don't post on here much anymore, but I'm trying to get things working that haven't in awhile. So, here we go...........

1983 ZX GL

On the drivers door, when you lift the handle (and the door is still locked) and the interior light is supposed to come on...well, mine stopped doing it. What's the fix?

Also, on the same door... The power lock won't unlock the passenger door anymore. Is this an electric issue or some kind of vaccuum issue?

And lastly...

Aren't the side markers supposed to blink opposite of the turn signals when the headlights are on? I swear they used to... If that's what they're supposed to do, where do I look to find the relay?

Welcome back DUCKY! Sounds like 1 problem causing both issues... check the fuses... relays... and if those are good, pull the door panel & make sure the wiring harness is still connected.

Side markers don't blink. Only the front & rear turn signal lights.
