Default Courtesy passenger door light won't go on when door is open

Ok here's the situation. I replaced the courtesy door lights on both the front driver and passenger doors. When I spliced the passenger door light I touched the wires together. Now the door light and dome light no longer go on when door is open. However the driver side when door opens both the. Courtesy light and dome light go on. Is their a fuse just for the passenger side lights?
I checked all the fuses and none are blown. Please give me suggestions as to get power back. Thks everyone. Email me at KAWAI4EVA@yahoo.com

There is no separate fuse for passenger side door. May be the light bulb doesnot connected properly.

I would pull the bulb and measure with a voltmeter....if you have 12 volts then the contacts are shakey. If you have nothing then you are looking at a broken wire in the wire harness, probably where the door hinges...

In case any one is wondering where the door open sensor/sender switch is ... it is in the door lock mechanism.
