Default Dome lights fail to illuminate when door opensch

2010 Lexus RX350 When opening the door the two roof dome lights, front and rear, fail to illuminate when the switch is in the "on" position (pushed in). I can manually turn the dome lights on so I know it is not the light bulbs. Has anyone else experience this problem and if so, the solution?

Question

I don't know if this will be helpful...I have a 2013 Rx450h but I believe the dome light configuration may be the same. There are 2 push button switches near the front dome light.
  • One has a light bulb with rays spreading out (?); this is the manual switch: in = ON, out = Auto.
  • The 2nd has a car outline with the doors open; this is the dome light override switch: in = do not activate dome light when doors are opened, out = activate dome light when doors open.

Normally both switches are "out" - ie, not pushed in. At least that's how mine function.

I agree with the above two. I have the 2010 model as well and when the button is pushed in, it turns off the lights.
