If you have a BigHorn the only ambient lighting you have shines down from the overhead console onto the cupholders. The dial dims that light. It took me a while to figure that out.

My problem is at dusk. The auto lights turn on and darken the dash and radio. So I have to adjust them brighter so I can see them, then as it gets darker out i have to adjust them again darker. Really annoying. My mustang and my 300 will turn the lights on automatically but keep the dash lights brighter longer.Since we’re on the subject of interior lights, anyone else feel like the dash lights are either too bright (full on) or too dim. I’m struggling to find the perfect medium for in city night driving. Out of town the lower settings are perfect.
And under the front seats for rear passengers to see their feet lol.Even though I'm a voracious owner's manual reader, I had trouble figuring this one out as well.
On the Laramie there are ambient lighting LEDs in the inside door handle pocket, the armrest area, two on the dash just under the upper dash cover overhang (one on each side of the steering wheel), and one above and behind the upper glove box door.

Quick question, the only way the ambient lighting turns on in my bighorn (over the cup holders) is if I DON’T have the right switch turned to the brightest setting (dash lights). Is this the same for everyone else or can it still be turned on/adjusted when dash is set to the brightest?If you have a BigHorn the only ambient lighting you have shines down from the overhead console onto the cupholders.

Thanks for clarifying. Apparently the dealer isn’t even aware of this as they were planning to investigate the wiring behind the switch for me. I did have an issue with the right switch turning off the four wheel drive lights if turned to the brightest setting (which they fixed by replacing the switch).There are some other threads in this forum about ambient lighting but yes if you have the right dial turned to the brightest setting it turns off the ambient lights even if you have the left dial on the brighest setting. Try turning right dial down one click from highest and pull in somewhere dark. You will see ambient lights on. This is how FCA designed this..unfortunately.
