I have been told to remove the two screws that are located inside the garage door opener and then to gently pry the cover off. I haven't tried it yet. I am still looking for a more definitive answer also.
There was a posting for a 1999 sienna also with the same problem. In that posting, the answer suggested to use a very thin screw driver to pry the plastic as well.
On my van, the cover seems to be on very tight and it doesn't appear to be much space to insert the screw driver.
If I do end up trying it, I'll let you know the results. I find it hard to believe that we are unable to locate a source for the 'official' method of changing this light.
Good luck If you find out differently email at fyrsquad12002@Yahoo.com. thanks
Thia dome light comes in assembly and more than likely you need to replace it....

How To Fix vsc,trac off and engine light on for 2009 Toyota Sienna
Well, how you fix them depends what's wrong with them. Check the fuses and bulbs first.
I think the short is located in the power control module
There is an accordion button on the driver's side door. Look at the very bottom of the Driver's door and to the very right should be a black accordion button but 1 or 2 screws. Sometimes when the screws become loose it will make the dome light not work. Just tighten the screws and it would fix the problem. To test it, just open the passenger door, and if the dome light comes on that would be your problem.

Your dome light fixture may not be unscrewing due to a stuck or stripped screw. To fix this issue, you can try using lubricant, a rubber band for better grip, or a screw extractor tool. If these methods do not work, you may need to seek professional help to remove the fixture safely.
The dome light switch on the dash is on.
My parents have this problem on their 99 Sienna. They got an estimate of an outrageous amount to fix the problem, because it involved disassembling the dash to reach the control for the seatbelt indicator, plus replacing a sensor. They've decided it's not worth it and have learned to ignore the annoying flashing light. Sorry.
To fix the dome light in a 2001 GMC Jimmy, first check the bulb to see if it needs replacing; simply twist or pull out the old bulb and insert a new one of the same type. If the bulb is fine, inspect the fuse related to the dome light in the fuse box, replacing it if necessary. Additionally, check the door switch for proper function, as a malfunctioning switch can prevent the light from turning on. If these steps do not resolve the issue, there may be a wiring problem that requires further diagnosis.
