Problem overview

Some Dodge Spirit owners report experiencing issues with outside lights and brake lights not functioning, which may be attributed to problems with the lamp-outage module. This component can cause lighting issues in certain Dodge vehicles, and in some cases, the module may be discontinued, complicating the search for replacement parts. Owners are advised to check the headlight switch, brake light bulbs, wiring, and grounds if the brake lights are not working properly. Specific issues, such as a non-functioning right rear brake lamp filament, may indicate bulb or wiring problems. Additionally, some owners have found that installing an LED strip under the tailgate serves as a workaround for malfunctioning third brake lights. If a lamp-outage module issue is suspected, inspecting the relevant components and considering alternative solutions is recommended.
