2000 Sienna clock, interior lights not coming on

[chunkgar]

Hi, I bought a used Toyota Sienna and it has worked very well for me but while on a trip out of state, I noticed that the clock and the interior lights were not working. The keyless entry remote would not make the doors open or lock either. Everything else seems to be functioning fine, the power windows, the lights for the speedometer, etc. Anyone seen this before or have any suggestions on something to check before I take it to a repair shop and end up paying hundreds for something I could have fixed myself Thanks,

This is most likely caused by a blown dome light fuse. This 10A device can be found in the fuse box located adjacent to the battery under the hood, and it is near the front of the fuse box by the four large relays. Now, why it blew is anyone's guess ... might be a fluke or indicative of a real problem (such as a chafed wire somewhere in the harness). Our 2000 Sienna with 100K+ miles on it just suffered this problem recently; I replaced the fuse and the problem has not recurred. Good luck!
