Noticed the light on my driver's door was out so first I tried replacing the bulb. Then I thought it was the switch so I have checked that and no luck. I started tracing the wiring via diagrams and end up at E59 junction connector. I started pulling connectors on the driver's kick panel and found a bent pin behind one, which of course broke when I attempted to bend it back. I don't know for certain this is the correct pin, but the wiring color matches up. I could jumper it if I could get to the wiring behind the female half to the junction plug. Has anyone ever attempted to pull the wiring out from the driver's kick panel area? If it was just the door bulb I wouldn't bother, but this impacts all the overhead lights as well as the door ajar function. Thanks in advance for any guidance on this.
 
So it ended up being in the EK2 block driver's kick panel. The broken pin was in the EK1 block and for the rear a/c. I wound up pulling both out of the blocks and connecting them separately. Everything works now. Toyota packed things tight in the kick panels.
