There is no problem. They are working as designed.

Those lights don't go on with the door. They are map lights that go on manually. Check page 1-73 of your owners manual.

Then I would start looking for a blown fuse.

Most certainly, and Hyundai did a poor job of documenting circuits in the owners manuals of these cars. Since you have what appears to be "an option", it could be hooked up to most any circuit. I would invest in a cheap digital volt meter and simply test every fuse in both boxes (one under the hood and one in the cabin on the drivers side).

That picture was pulled from the 2005 Sonata owners manual on the hmaservice.com website. However after closer inspection, the owners manual they have listed for a 2005 Sonata is for an NF Sonata (2006-2010) not an EF Sonata (1995-2005). Why they have that way I don't know. So I take back what I said. The info I posted is not correct foran EF Sonata. It was for an NF Sonata.
