You may want to have the wiring harness inspected. A major section under the fuse box(hood on 96 GC 4.0) may become chafed by a close proximity AC gas hose connector. My mechanic said it was slowly chewing at the harness. It caused me fuel pump problems, but your intermittant problem could be similar.

Sounds like a fuse issue. check your panel for popped accessory fuse.

the overhead light issue may be the door close switch

SOURCE: Interior lights stay on and no power windows

It’s a wire that is part of the wiring in the driver side door.
If you wish to fix yourself, (disconnect battery and follow all safety measures per your manufacturer’s recommendations) there is a black rubber gusset (accordion style tube) that contains the wiring harness to the door. On the door side of the tube you will find tabs on the top and bottom you can squeeze together to pull back and reveal the harness connector that is also located closest to the door.
Disconnect the harness and pull back though a hole located in the area directly under the interior fuse box. This might not be the easiest task, so when you pull back the rubber tube, check for any broken wires. You can lightly pull on each wire to see if one is loose if you are not able to visually locate the wire in question.
Repair the wire using the best method available to you and reverse the removal. Return the harness back though the door, plug in the harness, and snap the tube back into place. I found this after a good deal of troubleshooting and had to fix the same wire in a different section about 2 years later. This should be recalled as I have fixed 2 friends with the same problem.
Remember also to be safe and if you need to replace any wires, contact your dealer for details on the repair. This is doable, just take your time and plan to be in the area working for at least 30 minutes to an hour if you are good at repairs.
Good Luck...

Interior light and doors open light flashes on and off whilst driving

id give a good look at all the doors (jams) at the switches that control lights , especially the back door ones , on my Camry my young son very often hit with his foot when getting in/out and broke off the switch in the back door (I think it sticks out a bit too far) , if you find one broken or "not looking right " there easy to replace . only one Phillips screw and out they come , unhook plug with wires and connect new one back it goes in same hole ,same way and screw goes back in

Why wont interior lights will not turn off on toyota highlander

If your interior lights are not turning off, you probably have the override switch turned on. This is located in front headliner area and has a light icon on it. This switch forces the interior lights on, even when all of your doors are shut, or if you are driving.

Interior lights wont turn off. Door switchs are not stuck. I can activate all my door switchs and hear the mane switch in the rear click on and off. Where is this other swich?

your car has door switches in the door with a specific resistance. if you cannot shut off the lights with the dimmer switch your rheostat in the light switch is a culprit. some luxury models dont allow you to shut off the dome from the light switch. i would check the internal door switches first. hard to find. just follow two wires inside the door next to the door mechanism.
The switches get dirty and show a resistance to shut off the interior light.

Interior lights wont go out

Check for a faulty switch inside the door jam. If the switch is broken or pushed into the holder, it will not open the circuit thus the light will stay on. You may have to remove the bulb until you have time to replce the switch. Good luck

The inside light doesn't shut off

Open one door at a time and press the door button-switch (in the door-frame, hinge side usually) to see if that switch will shut off the light. If you find one that does, either extend the button length slightly with hot glue or epoxy, or replace the switch. Make sure the light has not been turned on at the light or that the switch is bad.

Driver side door lock

The switch is finding its ground thru the interior light switch. Your problem is most likely a broken wire in side the rubber boot that goes from the door to the body near the door hindges.
