My wife, who knows nothing about cars, says it is in the center of the headliner inside the car.
The door ajar switch is part of the latch, inside the door.
yes
Car believes one door is ajar - dirty/inoperable door switch? Light manual on/dash dim/dome on switch is swivelled completely clockwise; or is shorted making car believe you want the dome light manually switched on.

The dome light in a 2001 Dodge Neon may not come on due to a blown fuse, a faulty light bulb, or a malfunctioning door switch that detects when the doors are open. Additionally, the light may be set to a position that prevents it from turning on automatically. Checking the fuse box and replacing any blown fuses, along with inspecting the bulb and door switches, can help diagnose and resolve the issue.
To check the current to the dome light switch on a 2001 Dodge 3500, first, ensure the vehicle is off and the battery is disconnected for safety. Use a multimeter set to measure DC voltage and connect the probes to the terminals of the dome light switch. With the vehicle back on, activate the switch to see if there’s voltage present. If there is no voltage, trace the wiring back to the fuse box and check for any blown fuses or wiring issues.
The dome light switch on a 2005 Dodge Neon is located on inside the door jab. It is tucked away inside, tracing the wires of the switch is the best way to find its placement.
Be sure the dome light switch is not turned on manually.
on the side of the dash
the seat belt sometimes makes the light stay on
AnswermY 1996 DODGE STRATUS WON'T START UNLESS JUMPED, WHEN I SUT IT OFF IT WON'T RESTART 7 BATTERY DASH LITE COMES ON.My '99 Stratus was giving me similar problems. You should check the battery terminals and have the battery tested. Usually, a battery leaks acid and builds corrosion eating away at the terminals so that you will have the dome light and even radio but it will not be able to start. Does it make any clicking noises?
Just gingerly pry it off.
