    So, my 2003 Tacoma's curtesy lights and dome lights will not come on unless the truck is running, I have checked all fuses that I can think of the blubs are good but replaced for good measure.
    I also check the door jamb switches for continuity, and they are both working well. when I check the dome light to make sure it is getting voltage with the truck off, and the dome light switch set to the on position I get 3 to 4 volts with the truck off but with the truck is running, I get 12 volts. When I check the door switches and the power going to them it is also only 4 to 5 volts. so, I'm assuming that it is supposed to be 12 volts there also instead of 4 to 5 volts. but I am at a loss for what to check next I can't find a diagram or anything. any and all help is appreciated guy and girls' thanks in advance.

    Did you happen to put LEDs in the interior lights?
