All doors lock,but the interior lights stay on & the alarm wont arm.this happens intermittently
SOURCE: Interior lights stay on and no power windows
It’s a wire that is part of the wiring in the driver side door.
If you wish to fix yourself, (disconnect battery and follow all safety measures per your manufacturer’s recommendations) there is a black rubber gusset (accordion style tube) that contains the wiring harness to the door. On the door side of the tube you will find tabs on the top and bottom you can squeeze together to pull back and reveal the harness connector that is also located closest to the door.
Disconnect the harness and pull back though a hole located in the area directly under the interior fuse box. This might not be the easiest task, so when you pull back the rubber tube, check for any broken wires. You can lightly pull on each wire to see if one is loose if you are not able to visually locate the wire in question.
Repair the wire using the best method available to you and reverse the removal. Return the harness back though the door, plug in the harness, and snap the tube back into place. I found this after a good deal of troubleshooting and had to fix the same wire in a different section about 2 years later. This should be recalled as I have fixed 2 friends with the same problem.
Remember also to be safe and if you need to replace any wires, contact your dealer for details on the repair. This is doable, just take your time and plan to be in the area working for at least 30 minutes to an hour if you are good at repairs.
Good Luck...

I had same problem it is a ground wire broken in the harness rubber boot between dthe driver door. Peel back the rubber that protects wires and you will find broken ground wire(black) add a piece of wire solder and wrap with electrical tape put rubber boot back into door everything should work.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE BROKEN WIRES BETWEEN DRIVER'S DOOR AND BODY AT A PILLAR..PULL RUBBER BOOT FROM BODY AND DOOR AND INSPECT WIRING HERE
SOURCE: Power door locks and windows dont work, interior
Had the same issue - as gche37 noted the black ground wire is normally the issue.
Pull the boot back on the wire bundle in the door and you will probably see the broken wire. I then spliced a wire to the one running into the door. I pulled the black wire into the car, spliced to that and it worked (works) fine. Took about 15 minutes. I splices with a 12 ga braided wire
