    I have a 2020 Tacoma TRD Sport and the toggle switch for the door lock on the driver door has stopped working. I've checked every fuse I can find and think of but none are blown. The key fob locks and unlocks everything as it should and the passenger door lock switch works fine. Any suggestions for a home remedy? TIA

    I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but the easiest remedy is call the dealership.
    Unless you’re over 36k, you should have some warranty left?

    Take the switch out and test it for continuity then test the lead coming to the switch for power.
    (Both tests using an ohm/voltmeter)

    If the switch opens and closes the circuit and one lead has power,.... the issue is downstream from the other lead (non-powered lead).
    No power to the lead,.. look that way for connection loss (or a missed fuse)

    Switches do get "dirty" and need cleaning (spray contact cleaner) and washing (rock / cycle them back and forth).

    Still no switch contact then its switch time.

    ((You know the locking unit works as it operates from the passenger side))

    If it got wet it may have damaged the circuit board, if that's the case you are better-off replacing it

    With the switch panel removed from the door panel and door closed, use a jumper wire to mate pin 8 to pin 1 (Unlock) then do pin 2 to pin 1(Lock). If it works the switch panel is AFU, maybe.:burp:
