    I searched but couldn't get confirmation that all the switches on the driver door are illuminated...are they? I saw on the 2nd gen, not all of them are lit. I just bought an SR5 double cab and have only driven at night a few times and just noticed tonight that they're dark. I had to confirm, but the passenger and rear door window switches are lit which makes me think the driver side are supposed to be...:confused:

    I have a '19 SR5 double cab and my door switches including the mirror control knob are illuminated. Maybe pull the switch panel (use a plastic pry tool and it pops right out) and check that the connectors are tight.

    View terminal locations looking INTO the connector, not the wire side.

    Thanks for this. I wound up having to take it to the dealer and they even had a hard time diagnosing the issue. I finally got it back after 4 days--- turns out it was a broken wire at the connector up in the main dash harness.
