I was trying to clean the socket for the pointer and the door automatically locked with light flashes but unfortunately I put an iron in between the positive and negative of the socket. as the door locked and the flashes on, little spark of light occurred and since then, the left (driver side) light will not go on when door open both the front and the back light. However, when I traffic, the turn lights on perfectly. What do I do please?

Hello,

It sounds like you popped a fuse. Here is a guide to help you check the fuse and some diagrams (below) on where the fuses are.

There is a smart door lock module that sounds like it has gone out, here is a wiring diagram to help you do some testing
