2013 Tundra TRD: bad driver's side light switch in Lights Control Panel

I am referring to the lights in the plastic panel that sits between the driver and passenger and located on the roof near the windshield's trim inside the cabin:

I need to replace the switch that’s underneath of the driver light's lens, because it doesn’t latch to keep the light turned on when I press the lens. The passenger side works fine, so I have been turning this one off and on as needed. Has any of you replaced the press/release switch that controls the driver’s light?

I bought a couple of switches that may or may not work, but I have no idea how to do this work on the Tundra. Also I do have experience with wire soldering and electronics. All I need to know is how to remove the entire panel if needed only, and your hints or experiences with these light switches, etc. I plan to work on this project by May when the snow melts (it’s still cold in the interior of Alaska).

 

I assume you are talking about the MAP/DOME lights inside the cabin? MESO CUSTOMS sells replacements so maybe you might want to just replace it all together. This is specifically for the 5th gen 4Runner but it's similar. Never done it on the Tundra before but I am sure there might be youtube videos out there with Meso Customs. https://trail4runner.com/2022/02/16/meso-customs-ultimate-dome-light-5th-gen-4runner-install-review/

 

It's been a few years but this happened to me and I think I removed the console and glued the broken piece, but I'm not sure.

Worst case you can buy a replacement from a wrecked tundra, something like https://www.ebay.com/itm/1768663012...EiERqs-QJm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Removal is 4 torx screws I think, but the exact instructions vary depending on whether you have a double cab or crew cab. I'd check YouTube.

Good luck!

 

Yes, the overhead panel on the roof that has a press/release light lens, one for the driver, and the other for the passenger.

Thank you both for your responses. I will probably have to remove the panel to remove and replace the switch, or maybe solder the new switch in place.
