Check all wires at sockets for breakage and check the brake lights for normal functionality and all the bulbs the third brake light bulbs are probably blown out as well as the license plate bulbs and the interior light may be loose in its fitting if after checking and making sure the bulb is tight the dimmer switch is worn for the interior light and should be replaced
If this is the light that is controlled with the center switch, it can easily be changed by carefully prying the plastic cover off and replacing the bulb, found at any local auto parts store.
Many turn signal lamps will have multiple bulbs in them. If "one" of the bulbs is faulty, the interior lamp or lamps will come on, indicating a bad bulb. You will need to turn on your left blinker and view the bulb and make sure all bulbs appear to be blinking on front and rear of the car, then repeat with the right blinker. If you find one that doesn't appear to look right or blinks faster slower or dimmer, then replace the bulbs in that turn signal. The interior light may begin working properly when you replace the "shorted" bulb for the turn signals. If it does not, check the fuses to make sure the "shorted" bulb didn't damage your fuse for the interior lights.
most of the interior lights can be replaced by popping off the cover and pulling the bulb. usually there are just a few plastic clips that hold it on. as for the third brake light, there are 2 i believe t16 or t17 star screws that hold the lens on. once you have that off, the rest is obvious.
I have a 2001 Sienna and have had to replace most of my tail light bulbs.
The bulbs that are mounted in the fender (wrap arounds) have acess panels in the van's interior that easily pop out and expose the back of the light assembly.
However, the bulbs that are found in the lift gate are a different matter. You have to remove the whole interior panel to the lift gate to expose the light assemblies. Go to your auto parts store and get a tool to help pop out the plastic retainers from the lift gates metal frame. Don't force the retainers out. Go slowly and gently so that you don't damage the interior panel. If you are really gentle you might even get to reuse the retainers.
No. If you see that the bulb was burned, you can replace it yourself, you dont need to take off the battery terminal since taking it off might cause more trouble to your car. dont worry you cant be electrocuted by a 12V dc by just replacing the bulb
