Hi Chris Thanks so much for looking that up for me and apologies for my very slow reply. I can't keep up with everything whilst camping in the rain! I'm afraid electrical stuff is all double dutch to me but I need to find a campervan technician to help with the solar system so I will see if he can follow your instructions and I'll let you know the outcome. Now the weather is colder the door is open for much less time but I will try and get it sorted before the next warm weather.

Thanks Chris, that's kind of you! Denise

Thanks Chris, that sounds like a possibility worth trying. I'm currently sitting in 'Alphie' in the rain in the middle of a field and my new lifestyle makes sorting these things out less than straight forward but I'll look into it when I can... Meanwhile it's the manual method again and again and again! Denise

Ah, thanks Picasso, that's helpful. Apologies, I am showing my ignorance but it's helpful to know now.

Hi Chris as I wrote above I have found out it is ANH 20. Not sure what difference that makes though!

The label does have Japanese but no numbers representing the VIN. I have however found it on the invoice for the vehicle and now know that it is ANH 20 Thanks to all trying to help - so far nothing has worked! The long button press does nothing different to pressing it 4 times. ie the lights come back on as soon as any door is opened....

Hi Richard, Thanks for your potential help and sorry for slow reply. The vehicle is a Japanese import and the only nearside label I have found so far is in Japanese hyroglyphics with no ANH number. I will look again when it stops raining!

Hi Chris My vehicle is 2008 2.4ltr I've no idea what series it is and wasn't aware that I had listed it as 10 series! The previous message didn't help as the button says room and only turns off the lights until any door is opened again. Also the first 3 presses just dim the lights and the 4th turns them off. It's driving me mad!

Hi Richard, thanks but that is the first thing I did but it only affects the light above the rear view mirror. The ones in the back of the vehicly (long strip lights each side) still come on regardless! Any other ideas?!

Hi All, I'm new here and a new owner of my first campervan which is a converted 2008 Alphard. Loving it after my first couple of weeks! I have a problem though - I use the rear passenger door mostly to get in and out of the living area and almost always leave it open. This means the room lights are often on for hours since I don't always remember to turn them off. (requiring 4 button pushes)! They are very hard to notice in daylight especially because they are virtually hidden by the camper fit out. Ideally I would like to disable them completely but don't know if this is possible. I ordered the owners manual thinking I could take out the appropriate fuse but it seems this is in the only fuse box that needs to be opened by a Toyota dealer! Any ideas please as I'm sure it's draining my battery? The front door lights are also not needed and stay on the whole time the doors are open. I suppose I can just take those bulbs out but it doesn't seem easy to get the covers off! Thanks in anticipation....
