Vanity Mirror and Rear Cabin Lights not Working

Neither the vanity mirror lights nor the rear cabin lights work. I tried sliding the mirror covers, as well as manually turning rear cabin lights on and off. They also don't come on when the doors are open. I ran a scan and found no codes. They all just stopped working all of a sudden. Perhaps a blown fuse? Are these lights somehow connected?

Without looking I'd say yes since both are on the headliner. Look for a burned out fuse. If they're all good you'll need to trace the wiring. Search for a wiring diagram, I know I seen them on here before. I take it you're out of basic warranty?

As is often the case, this issue was due to user error. When disconnecting the CarNet buttons, I also erroneously disconnected a large brown connector that feeds to the visor lights and the rear cabin lights. I took apart the overhead console, reconnected the said brown connector and everything works now.
