Just a sidenote:AJ_Schreiber said:I have a perplexing issue. My 2000 DGC has been doing this for a while, but when you open the doors or turn all the interior lights on the front reading lights fail to turn on. They will however turn on if you press them. Are they dual filament bulbs and just one is broken? I've tried to study a wiring diagram but from what I can tell from a wiring stand point, the front reading lights should come on with the rest. As always input is always greatly appreciated
Yes, that sure sounds like it. A similar post was here on Allpar years go but I had no luck tracking it down.ImperialCrown said:This thread probably covers what Valiant67 is thinking. Post #3 nails it:

Does hers have the quads? Mine were getting pretty hazy right before I traded it. As I recall the quads were a bit pricey to replace - $200 per side. We used a kit (~$10) from Advance on a Avenger my son had for a bit. It wasn't perfect but it did clean them up quite a bit.Jaime said:Hummm..this has been an issue with my moms 2000 TC, though she does not drive at night(very poor headlights) with it anymore so it is not noticed as much.
Yes it does have Quads, thye have never been all great anyhow and now that they are in very poor shape, the light output is just aweful. I have told her I could put new ones in, but she does not want to spend the money.They use the Charger or Explorer for night driving.Doug D said:Does hers have the quads?

Thats not a bad price, where did you find them? I have looked on line and most about 169-200 per side.valiant67 said:When the are clear, the quad lights are really nice and put out good light. It's just over $50 per side for the aftermarket quad replacements.
My 92 Plymouth Grand Voyager has always done the same. The door lights and the rear reading lights will turn on when the front doors are opened, but not the front reading lights. I think this is the way the car was designed. Maybe in the newer vans there might be a simple setting in the computer to change. Check your owners manual.AJ_Schreiber said:I have a perplexing issue.
