Problem overview

Some Dodge Durango owners report experiencing issues with interior lights that stay on continuously, leading to battery drain. This problem may be caused by a faulty door switch or dimmer switch, which can prevent the lights from turning off as intended. Additionally, electrical wiring issues within the vehicle can trigger the interior lights to remain illuminated. A weak battery may also cause the lights to come on intermittently, indicating the need for a battery check. Furthermore, problems with the interior light timer can result in the lights staying on when they shouldn't. It is advisable for owners to inspect these potential causes and take appropriate actions to prevent unnecessary battery drain.
