Will I void my warranty if I do this?

The LED stays faintly lit no matter how long I leave the car to sit, so now I just keep the dome switch to "OFF".

I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is, there's a blown MOSFET in the BIU under the driver's side and the component that needs to be replaced is an "a1764" MOSFET. I found this info from an older post:

My question is, if I open up the BIU to perform any sort of work, am I voiding any significant warranty? I have the standard 3 year warranty that Toyota Canada offers on a new vehicle and I'm not too sure if replacing the BIU would be covered by that warranty.

You can also rewire the "door" circuit so that it is powered by the light that illuminates the ignition. I think somebody once posted how to do that, but I can't find it. Just consult the wiring diagram. Also, make sure you disconnect the battery before doing anything.

Well, with modern technology he certainly has the power to change that.
