Default No rear door courtesy lights

2003 XJ8- Neither of my rear door courtesy lights (red ones at corner of each door) are workIng. I’ve replaced the bulbs and can’t seem to find the correct fuse-if there is one.
Any ideas on this?
many thanks in advance!

I’ve heard that if you spray enough WD40 into the door latch that it’ll work it’s way into the micro switch to free it up. With the rear doors open, sit on a stool and with one hand (or a helper) keep the inside door handle in the open position while using a screwdriver to move the lock back and forth a bunch of times. The only other thing I know of is to replace the lock/latch assembly.
