Hi I have a 2019 Toyota Landcruiser 79 series
Vdj79
My interior light only will work when doors open cannot get fit to work with just the on switch
I did trip the fuse when re wiring a new light and replaced the fuse but cannot find any other fuses blown or nothing
Why is there no power going through the wires when it’s switched onto the on
 
TL;DR
Help needed to get power to dome light and it not fuse
Normally you have to have a permanant positive and negative connection at the fitting for the light to work without the door open
 
That sounds like you are missing a wire at the light the switch would normally operate from the door switch in one position and from a permanant connection in the other position with a centre off position
