Map / Ceiling lights does not light up when door is open

I replaced my regular map lights with LED ones yesterday. Now when I open the door, the map lights does not come on. Out of curiosity, I plug the old bulbs back to see if it works, Nope did not anymore.

I have replaced the 7.5 amp fuse in the passenger fuse box and still nothing.. btw it does come on when I push the on off switch, that part is working fine. It does not come on when I open my door.

Any Ideas?????

yes it works with the buttons. The map lights should light up when the doors open. It does not now. Any ideas on how to fix this??
