    Hmmm it may be one of the door push pins that could be bad...so when you unlock it, something in one isn't releasing the power back

    Damn...good thinking. I have no idea where to even start looking. I'll keep an eye on it and see how many times it doesn't turn on.

    Weird - mine work as normal. I'd be curious to see what the solution is for this.

    12 SR5 here, mine lights up when I unlock it using the key fob. I wish the dome light would also come on when I shut the engine.

    I have a 2013 trd double. On fob unlock I have the beep (which I hate) and no interior light (which I hate). The light come one when the door is opened.

    And was the door locked when you pressed unlock?

    With mine:
    Door unlocked, press unlock on fob = no dome light.
    Door locked, press unlock on fob = dome light
    Door unlocked, open door = dome light

    And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE no dome light when turning off and removing the key! My F150 turned it on and I hated that.

    ETA: Of course this is all with the dome light switch set to "door".

    so I figured it out on my truck. If you unlock the truck the lights come on. It is a slow fade on. If you do not open the door within 30 or so seconds the door re-lock themselves and the lights go off. The next time you unlock the truck after it re-locks itself the light will not come on when unlocked they will come on when the door is opened.

    actually I was looking at this, because it happened yesterday and I was like WTF?

    Mine is a 2011 TRD Sport, and it always turn on the dome light when I unlock it with the fob... only yesterday when I unlocked it, but didn't open any door...
