I have a 2007 Sahara unlimited. I just noticed that my interior light no longer works via the switch. It works when the door opens. The light has a "party mode". Your are supposed to be able to turn the dimmer switch to the off position and the interior lights will go off and vice-versa turn the dimmer the other way to turn them on.

I hate to think the dimmer switch is bad already! I bet that thing costs around $100.00.

anyone else have this issue?

 

if it works when you open the door 99% chance its the switch

 

No, I have been able to use both, with many uses each way.

 

any update on this?? mine is doing the same

 

bump...........

 

Did you try depressing the light on the... ceiling...

I was just in our 4dr last night. Ours turns either totally on or off. And it is controled through the headlight stalk on the left.

There is no "dimming", which I take to mean different levels of brightness to the light.

If the light does not turn on at all, I would probably try checking the bulb first. When I was younger, I used to replace my interior lights with green and red... because I am just that salty (how did I think that was cool). Point is, it is pretty easy to replace.

 

light comes on when the door is open............the instrument panel doesn't dim when you turn the switch......

 

so no one else has this issue??? guess I'll go to the dealer & see what they say is wrong

 

Another member was saying a few days back that his dash lights wouldn't dim when the dial was turned. Ended up being his TPMS sensor was showing low pressure. Once he inflated the tires, the dash light diming functionality came back...

Not sure if this would have an impact to your dome light, but this appears to affect the dash lights...
