Rx 400H Non-Hybrid Battery Replacement Issue

[jorg]

I recently replacement my battery in my RX 400H. I was able to re-set the windows switches
from the driver side. The only problem I
see at the moment is that when I open the driver-side passenger door the
interior light does not come on. All other
doors work. Has anyone run into this problem and been able to fix it? Any suggestions would be great.

Are there any other things I should be looking out since the
battery change that I might be missing??

Maybe the door switch is broken (the little switch on the pillar near the door latch covered in a rubber boot). Also make sure the dome lights are set to the "door" position.

When I start to unscrew the door switch to remove it the light turns on. But when I
close the door and re-open it after all the interior lights go out, the
light doesn't come back on when I open the drivers passenger door. Is
it the switch or something else any??

Sounds like it's probably the door switch.

Also check the wiring connection to the switch. It may be loose, resulting in an intermittent connection. Door switches typically last more than 20 years.
