My 2006 Grand Caravan front interior light will not work when door opens, when the rotory switch is placed in the on postion or with the push button feature of the light itself. Occasionaly the light will flicker or come on dim if the push button switch is in the on position.....any clue what the problem is?
Re: My 2006 Grand Caravan front interior light will not...
The door switch is probably faulty, the pin is not moving in and out or stuck so no contact is being make.might have to replace switch or clean contacts on switch, Good luck!!

The first thing that comes to mind is that the dash lights scroll dimmer is scrolled all the way in one direction which manually shuts off all the interior lights, even if a door is opened. At night turn on the parking lamps and then scroll the dash lights dimmer until the dash, radio face, overhead console, etc is brighter. Turn off the headlamp switch. Shut off the engine and exit the vehicle. Interior lights on? Hope this helps.
Is there perhaps a problem with the dome light switch on the lift gate? Close all the doors, open only the lift gate and find the switch on the lift gate frame (usually a rubber covered "bump") and press it in. You might have a loose wire shorting against the bodywork or the door is not depressing the switch properly.
The headlight switch will either have a rotory knob that dims and brightens the instrument lights. When the instruments lights are at their brightest, just past that the dome light will come on. Back that off just a bit (you should feel it click). If it has no rotary knob then its in the pull switch that turns the headlights on. Twist that knob counter clockwise.
If that is not the issue then there may be a door jamb switch that needs adjusting.
Open a door and push on the door jamb switch (usually located near the front of the door area by the hinges). If it still does not go off then try another door until you find the one that makes it go off.
Then, with some pliers, grab the button and gently pull out. The button is inside of a sleeve and that sleeve moves in and out of the part that screws into the body. When you close the door it will push the button and sleeve in as far as it needs to go.
then if that is not it there is a wire for the dome light grounding. The interior lights have constant power and it is the ground that opens and closes to turn the light on and off.
The power window control panel just snaps in place. Usually, a small thin blade screw driver can be inserted at the edge of the panel, and the panel can be lifted up.
The switch is a sealed unit and it is very difficult to "jump".
If your dash lights dim, when the button is pressed, this may indicate a significant power draw. It most likely would be that the motor is bad.
the button that pushed in when you close the door could be bad its literally like a $10 part and plugs in and is only held in with one screw. My interior lights used to flash on and off and i replaced that and now good as new, but you would need to figure out which door is doing it by pushing the button in manually
