Dodge Journey interior lights
Asked by Jeneher Aug 21, 2018 at 09:16 AM about the 2012 Dodge Journey R/T FWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Recently my interior lights come on when I break without headlights on. At
night they come on when I turn on my headlights and stay on. Its very hard to
drive at night with all your interior lights on. I have checked the interior light
button but it is not on.

Hi. Did you find out what is causing this as the exact same thing is happening with mine?? Thanks :)
My lights are doing the same thing in my 2018 Journey. There is a wire in the back that goes to the taillights that is accessible when the back hatch is open. When I play with that wire I can make them go off but as soon add I close the back hatch the interior lights com back on again. It is probably a shorted wire that wears out from the opening and closing of the back hatch. There should be a recall on it and Dodge should replace the wire with something more sturdy because it seems to be a common problem among Journey owners.
mine do all these things as well as when im shifting my gears. I have a 2015 dodge journey
Dodge Journey 2009 has a dome light that stays on. It is a push in type to turn off and on but it stays on. Thinking that there had better be a recall on it.
i am having the same problem with my interior light they come on at night they are a orange color I check to see if my light swicth is on but it's not and also my seat belt alert stop working
so all you dodge jounery fan'n do we report it as a recall please give me your feed back

My dome lights are doing the exact same thing. They come on when I brakes and stay on (dim) while driving. 2017 Dodge Journey
We have the same and it has drained the battery four times. Also break indicator comes on when emergency break not engaged.

Holy smokes, folks... I had these EXACT same experiences! So I went out and gently sliced open the rubber boot at the top left side of the open hatch.. and VIOLA!! there was a cut wire in there that frayed due to the man y openings and closings if the hatch... This one wire was responsible for: back up camera, rear taillight, hatch light, and most annoyingly, the fact that my interior lights would stay on dimmly while driving, (and even getting brighter when I stepped on the brakes... ALL FIXED WITH ONE WIRE REPAIR! Come on Dodge - this has to be a recall issue... very poor placement of the wiring bundle for the hatch... hoep this helps anyone else here! Thanks - Charlie
Thank you for that @guru9v54d4. This is the issue I am having and you are correct, this should be a recall issue with Dodge.
