gotta say thank you. just bought a used 2003 tundra, dome light was out. fuse fine, bulb fine. was worried it was a short, but i tried this and now i have light!! thanks!
This did the trick on my 1998 Toyota T100. Ball bearing and spring are on a plastic piece that's riveted in so I couldn't take it off but the problem was the same. Busted the rust on the electrical contacts with some CLR and my dome light works again. Thanks!
I really enjoyed how are you replace the domelight I’ve been looking everywhere on the Internet can’t find another you were the only one thank you and God bless you your friend Walter
My 96 Corolla had the same issue. Your video helped me find out why. Although the only difference is the switch is on a rivet. So I decided to take a dremel and a brush attachment and cleaned the corrosion right off. Only because I couldn’t remove the switch.
Wonderful video, just what I need to fix the dome light on my old but still good 1999 Ford Escort. Thanks a million friend I can now party once again like it's 1999.
Hey i tried to push on the switch when it was on to see if it was the switch it was it went out completely even when you put back on on it also affect how bright the light is. I will try to take it apart and clean it thanks.
I put an led bulb in my toyota tacoma an when the truck is off an u open the door it is really dim an flickers and when u shut the door it stays on a while an then gets really brite an shuts off but when the truck us running it works fine ??
I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado my dome nor my reverse lights worked I replaced “TBC 2A” (Fuse) on the interior fuse box located on the driver side it’s a TRUCK BODY CONTROLLER also, make sure to check “TBC 2B” it’s a truck body controller as well. This fixed my dome and reverse lights problem.
I have a 1993 chevrolet cavalier Z24 and those cavalier dome lights are a pain. They have screws that are in the roof as a ground and are held in by rivets, unbelievable one screw broke off with the plastic of the domelight assembly. In this video wish GM made em like this! So simple
does those led dim down and flicker when you turn the key off before opening the door? once you open the door it comes back on normal. i have a 03 Tacoma just wondering if you experienced what i did.
Im having a different problem than you, I have a 2nd gen 4runner and I led swapped my can lights and anyway its got a loose connection, and in order to get the led to shine bright as can be i have to wiggle the switch around and it never stays. And considering it it doesnt stay it is extremely dim so its pretty useless than my old halogen light. Do you know whats going on
Hello, I have the same issue but my dash lights are also out, how do i fix it? I tried the fuse that says dome on the engine compartment that saids fuses and nothing
I checked everything and I mean everything, switches, fuses, lever switch, watched TH-cam videos, googled people with similar issues, until after an hour or so I finally decided to go grab the multimeter and it turns out it was a faulty light bulb 😂
Touching an automotive glass bulb will not affect the temperature of the filament. The filament temperature is a function of the current through it. Touching a glass projector bulb will cause the glass to shatter because the filament already operates at a high temperature. I am starting to hear this more frequently. A dome light doesn't get that hot.
1st gen tacoma LED dome light will only work if key is in ignition, kind of a pain during the dark entry. Any ideas why? BTW put in old incandescent bulb and all works as it should.... Puzzling
There is a problem changing to led's, there are certain changes that have to be made changing over to led bulbs. I bought a used GMC truck that previous owner had replaced all bulbs including headlights all the way through to the tag light. There were some sockets burned, a couple of wires melted and switches screwed up. had to replace all bulbs with original type, replace the sockets, headlight assemblies, left door lock/lights actuator and both of the main light switch assemblies on the dash panel. I believe there are videos here on Y.T. to guide you if you wish to use led's.
Your dome light is connected to the keyless entry system. I shorted my light out and killed my keyless entry, so watch out when messing with your dome light.
In my ‘98 Corolla, I leave the switch set to off. I’ve had too many times somebody left a door ajar or it didn’t close due to seatbelt stuck in door. Today, the light went on. It’s set to off. I jiggled it thru on/off/ door a couple of times then moved to off. It stayed off. Could this be the same problem? Corrosion or debris causing contact? Afraid I will go out and find battery dead one morning of light turns on randomly.
Hey man thanks for sharing this video good idea about the led light I just got mine today ... but anyways my question is ... that my light doesn’t work and that’s because it’s loose .. theirs current running through... but if I want the light on I have to push it into the on position and then push up so the current can catch on ... make sense ? How do u suggest fixing this ? I tried tightening the skrew but it didn’t seem to affect it ...
unfortunately this did not help me. my light it self works fine as i gave it power from 12V trasformer and tested both ON and DOOR postitions=works fine. i have some problem with the wiring it seems... also my toyota has 3 wires coming to the ligh, and only the DOOR postition is not working
Thanks i have same dome ligth on my taco I try connected rear mirror of 4runner with map ligths and i dont have power how fix it bulbs good how fix it?

Thanks for sharing this video. Bulb replaced in my 2006 Nissan Sentra and now working. Not exactly the same , but close enough.
Cheers
Just did this fix in my 04 Tacoma after years of this bulb being out. Multimeter was the key to troubleshooting. Thanks so much.
Thanks, its great when i can find exactly what i need! Thanks for the help!
Just what I was looking for.... But alas I lost the ball .😢.
Thanks for the informative video.
Thank much Bro! Very informative and useful video. Will try to fix mine based on your demo. 👍👍💪💪🤛🤛

Thanks for this video! Cleaning the contacts fixed the issue for me as well on my 4Runner.
Problem solved thanks to your video.
It gives me idea to check first the dome light assembly. My newly bought assembly from surplus store does not have a spring. Now i know. Thanks a lot.
Nice job. 👍 Pretty much the same problem, at least I have a nifty new LED dome light now. 😃
Thank you !!! You make it easy for all of us with your clear explanations. Thanks. !!
YO THANK YOU SO MUCH IT TOOK ME SECONDS TO FIX

Mito Mr. Twice as Nice 2019 is your year
Did it work?
@@kadenkowalski1082 sure did. Sanded a bit and reinstalled with a new bulb. Also, 1 year later did the same to 06 Tundra. Let there be 💡.
What is that bulb size in mm?
My 2003 lexus Es300 light want come on when I open up the door but it will come on when I push it to on position

Where did you get the e bulb ?
Very informative 👏 👌
Does this work on 1st gen toyota tacomas 2wd pree runner?
does those led dim down and flicker when you turn the key off before opening the door? once you open the door it comes back on normal. i have a 03 Tacoma just wondering if you experienced what i did.
Many thanks, this is just what I needed 👍
would this problem cause the fuse for the interior light to blow repeatedly
DUDE THANK YOU, too easy 😂
I lost the little ball… can i use a magnetic one?
as long as it conducts electricity well
@ sold the car already 🥲
Hey I just had this problem today I went to but white ones to change my blue ones and when I wanted to try it it doesn’t work I also sanded it down
I owe you thanks man!!
Thanks, gonna give it a try!
Mine lights up but when I close the door the light stays on could it be the light switch?
Excellent demo, Thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing this information!!
Im having a different problem than you, I have a 2nd gen 4runner and I led swapped my can lights and anyway its got a loose connection, and in order to get the led to shine bright as can be i have to wiggle the switch around and it never stays. And considering it it doesnt stay it is extremely dim so its pretty useless than my old halogen light. Do you know whats going on
This work on my 2002 taco 🌮 thanks.
Great video corrosion will heat up a circuit blow a fuse it blow the bulb as well. Keep your bare hands off of the bulb
My dome liht is good and the fuses too. What would be the problem
Hello, I have the same issue but my dash lights are also out, how do i fix it? I tried the fuse that says dome on the engine compartment that saids fuses and nothing
dee olaya might have to change the lights in your dashboard. Check out chrisfix
Great video bro
Another possibility - I just had success by aggressively moving the switch from “on” to “door” and worked within a couple of seconds
Thanks, corrosion was really the issue
I checked everything and I mean everything, switches, fuses, lever switch, watched TH-cam videos, googled people with similar issues, until after an hour or so I finally decided to go grab the multimeter and it turns out it was a faulty light bulb 😂
Led bulbs don't work in the Tacoma dome light in my 2003 model. Others have the same issue for similar year Tacomas.
Thank you very much ❤
Thanks for help.
god bless you.
I get no voltage what can i do ?
is it the same way for a 2004 Toyota sequoia
yes, should be the same
Touching an automotive glass bulb will not affect the temperature of the filament. The filament temperature is a function of the current through it. Touching a glass projector bulb will cause the glass to shatter because the filament already operates at a high temperature. I am starting to hear this more frequently. A dome light doesn't get that hot.
I hope this solves my problem on my 2004 Honda Accord. The dome light works when you open the door but not when you switch it to full on
I'm having the same issue w/ my toyota, what was your solution?
Same I’m having the same problem in my scion xa ... did you find a solution ?

Nice job buddy
That multimeter made me laugh lol
I always put a blob of lithium grease to hold the Ball in place
Thank you so so much 😁
Good job
Thanks Bud
I lost that spring and ball. I was wondering why my switch wasn't working.
Thanks man .
Thanks buddy.
Your dome light is connected to the keyless entry system. I shorted my light out and killed my keyless entry, so watch out when messing with your dome light.
