2003 Sienna No Dashboard Lights

[Morrison]

I've lost my dashboard lights in my 2003 Sienna. It was not clear which fuses under the dashboard control the lights. I've replaced a couple of them that looked like they went to the instruments in case they were blown and I could not tell. That did not work. Please help.

Check the 10A DOME fuse

Unfortunately that did not work. I replaced the 10A Dome fuse and still no dash lights. I'm not familiar with the light bulb locations, but is it possible that the light bulbs or bulbs could have burned out and need replaced? What other options do I have? Thank you for the input.

I've learned how to operate the dashboard lights. After looking very closely at the manual there was a small corner of a page that briefly and only visually described how the trip odometer doubles as the dashboard light control. Turn it clockwise and it brightens the lights. Turn it counterclockwise and it dims the lights. I did not have burned out bulbs afterall. This may sound like a trivial problem, but the manual was very vague and the index/table of contents are too simplified to learn about such a feature. To add, this is my wife's car. I drive a 2001 Tacoma. My Tacoma dash light control dial is on the left of the steering column next to the rear differential lock button. Well there is similar looking spot in the Sienna but with a missing dial. It was bad on my part to assume they would put the dashboard light dial in the same spot in the Sienna as they have done so in my 2001 Tacoma. So there's the solution. I hope this helps for anyone who has the same problem.

I was thinking it was something simple. Would be highly unlikely for this time of problem on a 03' model.... especially a Toyota.

Good to hear you figured it out.
