Default Right Rear door problems

Hello, i have a problem with my right rear door.
When i open it, lights in the car does not go on. And the lights below and in the door doesn't light up. It's like it doesn't get power.

However, here's the weird thing... the window regulator have power and works fine. its just the rest.

I opened up and removed the panel of the door, dried it all up and checked wires. nothing.

i checked fuse box but there wouldn't be one fuse for just the door, would it?
wouldn't it affect the whole interior light or something like that?

Have anyone experienced this issue before?

Check your fuse panel again.

It'll be the door open/close switch.

Some Audi's use regular pressure switches on the door frame somewhere, but may also use a micro switch on the door latch.
(I don't know the C5 platform, so if you can't find an obvious switch open a door which works the interior lights and run a screwdriver through the latch and see if the lights extinguish)

It might be that there is a loose connection in the axilla of the door. Remove the plastic accordion and make sure nothing is disconnected there.
