Like I mentioned in the intro thread, I picked up a 1997 4Runner SR5, and I can't figure out why the rear cargo light does not go on when in the door position, and I lift the hatch? I looked around the outside looking for a switch, couldn't find one...am I imagining a functionality that should be there??
Makes sense to me that when I open the hatch, the light should go on...but what do I know
Thanks,
Robert

There should be a switch to the right of the light with 3 positions, on - off - door. I can't imagine why they'd stiff you on that. Can you get the light to come on in any circumstance?

I don't know if its like this on all 4runners, but there should be a little switch on the light itself and also one a little to the left about 6 inches under the steering wheel somewhere.

Sorry, should have been more clear, there is that switch, and it does come on, when I move it to on, but does not come on when the switch is in the door position with the hatch open

I sprayed the latch area with WD-40 and never had the problem again. The door open switch is tied to the rear door lock button, I believe, so you might wanna check that out.
