    I just bought a brand new straight from the factory 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD off-road, and when I put the dome light to the door setting and open any of the doors the light doesn’t turn on. Even when I turn it to the on position, no light. Should I take it back to the dealership and have them fix it? Am I missing a little trick to turn it on? I am brand new to Tacomas so maybe I’m just missing something

    EDIT: Solved below if you have the same noob issue

    If it’s like the 18’s, the map light switch has to be set to door as well.

    That's right. The rear dome light switch is not independent. The master switch is actually on the front overhead console. If you set the front switch to "door," then you can turn the rear light on independently.

    If I recall correctly, the map and dome were independent on my 2nd gen. I think I had my dome set to door and would only turn on the maps when I needed them.
