Now, not only does that fixture not work, but the truck doesn't register any information from that door position switch.
So opening the drivers door doesn't turn on the interior lights, nor does it let the truck know that I've gotten out when I stop somewhere, turn the truck off, get out and lock it with the fob, thus the headlights stay on. I've swapped the door switch for the one on the other side and that didn't fix the issue. Swapping in a working fixture from the other side also doesn't work.
I've checked the fuses, but none of them in the engine compartment nor under the dash are blown. Can anyone with a good idea of how the 5th gens are wired up shed any light on this?

Hi coreynw,
I hope I've read this post correctly... If your other door lights/Dome lights are working, you've gotta trace the driver-side door-light wire harness up as far as you can; there's likely a connector that's partially disconnected!
I have (Printed) most ALL of the wiring diagrams for any 4Runner year, but they're not in any file order. Since I used to store them all on "Photo-Bucket", and now they're holding them hostage, for a ransome fee, it makes them difficult to obtain QUICKLY!
So, try following the driver-side door light from the socket to the next wire connector; I seem to rmbr having that issue when I did my door-lock motor, when accidently letting go of the trim panel and losing power to the door lighting!
If that's not the trouble, I'll find the correct diagram, even if I have to go to "PB" and copy the url... even if it does have their "Water-mark" (Stain) on it, we'll still find the trouble, so don't worry, just let me know where we stand!
And thank you
