Default Courtesy Lights out -13 ES350

Hello folks
I picked up 2013 ES350 after my 2010 ES was totaled! Great cars and the 13 is fantastic. However my four small door lights and the trunk light are out. Everything else works.

I've tested each bulb on an outside power source, they are all good. No power at any socket. The fuse the manual calls out is good. Plus it citrons other items that are working

Common sense says a wire at the front end of this loop ( if they are wired that way) is busted.

Any ideas are appreciated. Anyone with a 2013 ES wiring diagram ?

The fact that all five lights are out simultaneously suggest a common fault in the circuit. At first glance I would probably try to swap out the fuse to eliminate a defective fuse as the root cause but on the other hand, you mentioned all other lights are still working. (The door courtesy light, boot light, map reading light, cabin lights, clock and footwell lights share a common fuse on my ES, and the fuse is no 43 on my engine compartment fuse box).

Nevertheless, I would still suggest you swap the fuse with another known working one before doing anything else.

Thanks indeed, the rest of the lights and accessories on that fuse work fine. 43 on mine as well. I'll pull it again just to be sure.
