Interior entry light is not working using drivers door

[unreelviper]

I have a 2004 SRT-10, last night I had gone outside to get something out of the glove box of my car. I utilized the drivers door to open the car when I noticed that the entry/exit lighting did not come on once the door was opened. I then walked around to the passenger door and opened it at which time the entry/exit lighting came as it should have done on the drivers side. Has anyone else had this problem? if so, i hope that there is an easy and inexpensive fix. Thanks in advance.

I would imagine there is a jam switch on the door. Will go out and check mine, but thats were i would start...

Any luck on tracking down the problem?

No, not at all. I was looking for the push pin switch but I couldn't find it ,unless its inside the electric door locking mechanism?

That's a pretty good possibility. I did some research online looking to find a replacement part and I couldn't come up with anything, even on Dodge's OEM parts websites. That leads me to believe it's part of the locking mech.

Thanks King, in the real world, it's not that important it's just the anal side of me coming out. Thanks again!
