    I am about to pull out the manual for my 2 week old Tacoma. Non of the interior lights are coming on. What are the chances that all the bulbs are out?, I am guessing the fuse may be bad...unless there's a switch somewhere that I dont know about.

    Any ideas????

    there are a few fuses that can play a role, but its most likely the 5A "Panel" fuse in the top corner of the interior fuse box (under the drivers dash)

    Dome lamp or the lights on the dash when you turn on your parking/headlights?

    Its a 2020 brand new truck, which pisses me off cause the dealership is almost an hour away.

    Dome lights and map lights do not come on when I open the door or even when I turn them on manually by pressing the light on the map light or turning on the switch on the dome light.

    Everything works. Just the interior lights, the map light, dome light and the visor lights do not work. I only noticed it the other night when I went to get something out.

    Just put a new fuse for the dome under the steering wheel....still not working

    I haven't hooked anything to the vehicle other than my phone charger to project my phone to the screen.

    Then you have a short to ground .

    A loose bulb in the socket causing an Arc

    The door switch is loose or has failed or any of the other switches

    Correct Size fuse??

    If you can`t figure it out you have the 2 hour round trip to look forward to.

    I can check everything you just mentioned, but if I cant find anything I will have to do that dreaded 2 hour drive.
