2006 Town & Country I need to remove the whole map light assembly to retrieve the white switch button that, makes the light go on, went inside so I can try to fix it.

Only one light inside light works on my Lexus SC430 and I have been told that I have to replace the whole part which is about $700 because it is computerized. Is this true

For the map light assembly removal (it's real easy) see below links.

most lenses are not replacable by them selves. you'll need to replace the whole tail light assembly.

check for an inertia switch( a button to reset the fuel pump,, does it turn over?

yes the e brake shoes inside the rotor tend to create a lip that will hang them up just bake them off a bit and you should be able to pull them off fairly easily also check to be sure that the stock assembly line retainer clips have been removed from the front of the rotor they are just thin looking washers that are pushed on to the lug nut studs to hold the rotor in place on the assembly line a pair of side head cutters work well to remove them and discard after removed.
Hope this helps.

I just had mine fixed at the dealer for the same problem. Their first response to me was "this happens ALL THE TIME". He said there is a little plastic pin in the door handle assembly and the pin has been known to slip out of the assembly. However, when they got inside, they said it was the actual door handle (inside) that was broken and had to replace the whole piece. So, the first step according to my dealer/servicer would be to check for the little plastic pin.

If the lens goes over the edges, The screws hold on the whole assembly. Check approach from inside trink cehind panel. put yhe screws back in

Jun 17, 2009- ok I just looked at it. it is simple.
the lens pivots and presses a switch in on one end to make the light come on. take a butter knife or very small screw driver and reach in between the lens and the black center console. there you will CAREFULLY press a flat tab to the side that is made onto the lens ( I hope you dont break this tab).
on the very opposite position on the clear lens towards the door is where the lens has a tab that has a small hole in it. there is a plastic pin made onto the console trim that fits into this hole so the lens will pivot. this will give you an idea of which direction to pull the lens when you press in the tab,. it does look like it would break easily. I havent had to take mine off yet thankfully.
please visit again and rank this answer if this helps!... good luck
