Likely have a bad ground in the system somewhere. Had a similar thing happen to an Lx470 and it was a corroded ground wire under a running board. Totally unrelated the issue (so I thought). You will likely need a smart chap who understands electrical systems on cars. Those guys are not common. Ask around. Some shops have guys that specialize in the electrical systems. That’s who you need, otherwise it can get real expensive just having any ole mechanic.tracking down electrical stuff.

^^ agreed. You lost the ground on that side. You can make an account on Toyota TIS for a couple days or www.alldatadiy.com for a whole year for $18. Both will have schematic and show you the grounding location point. You'll need an OHM meter and a test lamp to troubleshoot this...
