    Hey guys,

    I hope someone can help me figure out my dome light issue. When I bought the truck the light didn't work and neither did the clock in the dash. The bulb was burnt out when I checked it. I have checked fuses for the dome light and they are good. I do not have any power at the dome. If it helps, the clock works when the temps drop below ~40 degrees and the radio always works. Door switches work because the "key still in ignition" ringer goes off when the door is closed. How often does the integration relay go bad?

    Thanks,

    There is a device somewhere that shuts off power to the dome light after 10 minutes. Find out where it is and check it, it may be the issue.

    My dome light will come on when the passenger door is opened but not the drivers door. Its kind of a pain in the mornings in the dark. I guess I will try fix it when it gets warmer out side.

    Mine was corroded right behind the kick panel. Fixed the driver side but still have to fix the passenger. Broke right at the quick disconnect.

    Front dome light added,light reminder added,door chime mod, added 2nd gen 4runner headrests,grey wire mod, 2lo mod, more later.
    Check behind your lower kick panel on drivers side maybe someone unplugged your dome light wire, it is red with a white tracer I believe maybe your dome light switch is bad on drivers side.
