No. They are completely separate harness assys. The front door or courtesy switches operate the front courtesy lights and the rear door courtesy switches operate the rear lights.
Normally, If you have the two rear courtesy lights located in the front seat back the rear door switches will operate those. The quarter panel reading lights are operated by the pillar switch only. If you do not have the seat back lights then the rear door switches and pillar switch with both operate the single overhead light.
On cars where the rear courtesy and quarter lights are operated separately, it is relatively easy to add a jumper inside the pillar to make the rear door and pillar switches operate all rear lights. That may have been done at dealers or started being done in later models at the factory. I have seen cars having both arrangements.
Here are the front courtesy lights and two versions of rear courtesy light circuits. I was able to work out the separate rear circuits with the seat back and two quarter panel lights when I did my 47. Believe that seat and quarter panel lights are only in 2106 Customs but could be wrong.
