let's say i am driving down the road and someone drops something in the back seat. how can i turn on the interior lights of the car w/o having to open my front door? i know there is a dimmer switch to the left of the steering wheel and in most cars when you turn the dimmer past the 100% it'll click and turn on the interior lights. is there such thing with the 4R? how do i turn on all interior lights?

Can't turn 'em on?
I've owned four Toyotas since 1996 and they all have lousy arrangements for interior lighting compared to American designed vehicles. :cursin:
Learn to live with it for the rest of yor vehicle is a Toyota and will far outlast anything with good interior lights. :bowdown:

well technically your are only turning one light on. he is asking is there a way to turn on all the lights than come on when you open the drivers door.
like the old dash mounted pot switches that controlled the dash brightness, and at the top end of the pot, it switched all the interior lights on (aka 2nd gen runners).

That is completely stupid. I for one enter my Runner at the driver's door which is conveniently located at the front of my vehicle. I'm just too old to go in through the back and climb over the seats like I used to. Therefore, I too, would like my front dome/map lights to come on when I open the door.
My Runner still beats the crap out of the Blazer POS it replaced.

Mark,
There might be something wrong. Mine all come on when I hit the unlock button on the remote. They also all come on when any door is open. Mine is a 2003 Limited, but the 2003 SE I test drove did the same.

I just went to double check, and guess what, they don't. I thought they all did. The lights in the dorrs come on, so maybe that gave me the impression they all where on.

The lights on the overhead console, near the rear view mirror are map lights, and as far as I know, the only way to turn them on is to depress them. Once for manual on, once again for manual off.
