The electric door locks and dome light does not work. I check all the fuses, what should I check next? ---

The dome light probably just needs a bulb. You can check the socket with a multimeter. You can do the same with the switch for the door locks. The first thing to know is whether these things are getting power. ---

Door locks often fail due to the wires coming from the car to the door a the hinge side. There is a switch there for the dome light also. What year Sentra do you have? ---
