Any idea what the problem could be?

Could be a couple of things....(before you start though, check your fuses first)...could be a bad fuse...doubtful though...but better to be safe.
1). When you turn your car on, or put the ignition to ACC, do you see the little Open Door symbol on your dash?? If you do, then it shouldn't be the door wires.
2). Does your car have a car alarm?? Is it stock or aftermarket? Stock should work...unless the smart entrance control unit no longer works....or the wire has been cut leading to the dome light - this applies to both stock & aftermarket
3). Have you checked the dome light itself?? I believe the switch is a three way switch..and slides both left AND right...one of those positions is the OFF position...one is the manual ON position & the other is the DOOR open/ON position. Try sliding the switch & opening the doors...see if that works.
4). As for the door chime, the previous owner probably just disconnected it. It's easy to reach underneath the dash & disconnect the harness. Stick your head underneath the dashboard & look around for a small harness hanging down next to a small white square box. Plug that harness into the box & your door chime should start working again.
Anyhow, try this stuff...see if it helps...
Good luck!!
