Problem overview

Some Dodge Intrepid owners report experiencing issues with interior lights that won't turn off and false door open warnings. A common cause for this problem is that one of the switches may be left on, necessitating a check to ensure all switches are in the off position. Additionally, some owners find that adjusting the dimmer knob or pushing on the light can sometimes resolve the issue. If the lights remain illuminated, it may indicate a faulty light that requires replacement. Problems with door sensors can also lead to the interior lights staying on, as these sensors are crucial for their operation. Furthermore, issues with the Body Control Module (BCM) and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system can impact the functionality of the interior lights, especially if the BCM fails to turn them off after a set period. In some instances, owners may face electrical issues related to the vehicle's battery or alternator, which could also cause lighting glitches. As a last resort, disconnecting the wire from the BCM that controls the fading of the interior lights may be necessary to stop them from remaining on.
