Dome lights don't work!

My dome lights do not work on my 04 4 Runner Sport Model, the front, the middle or the back.
I did follow the wiring diagram to see, but could not find anything wrong, all wires and fuses are OK. Dash, computer and radio are all working,
Just wondering if someone had had this issue before,

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Sounds like your relay went bad. Try replacing that next before you get yourself into a real deep project (or expensive dealer visit).
 
Specifically for the lights I don't know off the top of my head. It'll either be in the box in the engine compartment or there's one that's hidden behind the knee panel to the left of the steering column.

The Dome relay is in the underhood fuse box. These lights are all controlled by the body ECU. Do you still have the courtesy lights in the doors? This may sound stupid but have you changed the switch positions on the dome lights? If they are in the center position they are always off. Have you actually checked the lamps for continuity with an ohmeter?

Also what do you mean by this? There is a dome light up between the front and rear seats, over the driver's right shoulder (your middle?) There is also the obvious rear one at the back door.
What are you calling the front? The courtesy/map lights in the overhead console are not on the dome light circuit and are independently switched (not when you open the door.) Do these lights still work when pressed in/on?
 
Thank you Kmvreter, you are right, the front light are not working either, even after opening the doors, not sure where that circuit either,

Maybe you misunderstood what I was saying.
The front (map) lights are not dome lights and SHOULD NOT work when you open the door. They are independently switched by pushing on each light. Do they work this way?
