There is a switch in my panel that is labeled door? If that switch is turned on then the lights that come on when the door is opened come on with the door closed. There are 2 overhead lights that are controlled by the door switch. There are also switches on the 2 lights that can be set to one or 2 bulbs on or completely off.

Sounds like someone disconnected the wire because they did not want the lights to come on when the door is opened. I am assuming that you can hook the wire up to + 12 volts in the panel.
