Interior Lights come and stay on when the exterior lights are turned on. ---

Since you own a Chrysler product, you should be aware of their problematic Totally Integrated Power Module. > **[TIPM Electrical Problems](http://www.chryslerproblems.com/tipm/)** > > If you've heard of a TIPM, chances are you own a vehicle from Fiat-Chrysler (FCA). Think of it like a command center for all the electrical functions of your car, and in FCA's case a very, very disfunctional one. Tester ---

The dimmer control for the instrument panel may be set to its maximum. On my 2007, that turns on the interior light.
