Angry Courtesy Lights Not Working

Both the left and right courtesy lights in the back do not seem to work when i open the door and when i try and turn them on by pressing the button they only stay on when you hold the button which i think is pretty strange. Are they supposed to come on when you open up either back door? I'm thinking the wiring could be faulty...

Yes - do you have the switch in the right position though? Have the bulbs blown?

I'd say a loose connection is the likely issue.

are you talking about the switches to activate the lights on your pillar when you open the door? or the light switches actually on the lights?
