I own a 2011 Durango Crew and when I originally bought the car I clearly remember the long plastic strip (on the picture attached) that's between the door handle and the window switches used to light up on both the driver and passenger sides. I recently took it to both a Dodge dealership and a independent mechanic and they both said that it doesn't have lights, the only lights are in the door handle, the cup holder and map section and they can't find a problem. I know 100% it used to light up with a nice Blue light on both the driver and passenger sides so I just want to know If anybody has had this same problem and how they got it fixed or if someone could just verify that they do light up I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!!

 

It doesn't lite up the Lower door pockets do on bottom edge of door.
At least mine has never lit up
STEVE

 

Same here.

 

It's a piece of plastic trim. No lights. Perhaps you just had a reflection in it from either the cubby hole lights on the door or the LED lights near the handle.

 

This is a little know Dodge option, number E45, the Zombie Apocolypse Warning light. It is activated when the vehicle is within 600 yards of a zombie. In your case, I can only assume your local zombie has moved away if the light stays off.
You're one lucky dude, my E45 has remained activated ever since my mother-in-law moved in.

 

So that's why my light turned off when I shot my mother-in-law in the noggin'

 

My light never goes out, and I live alone, out in the middle of the Desert.
Hmmmm?

 

Weird, mine stays on all the time, especially when I'm out driving around looking for fresh brains.

Oops, I meant brooms, yeah that's it, silly autocorrect............

 

You realize, of course, that creatures other than humans can also be zombies? Snakes, ground squirrels, scorpions, iguanas, coyotes etc. etc. even automobile affectionados. If its got a brain -- or used to have one! -- it can be a zombie. Though animal zombies are consderably less common -- usually because the entire body is consumed by the victor, ergo, there's nothing left -- than humans they are coorespondingly more dangerous because of the nature of their past existence.
So . . . that road kill on the pavement on the way to town, scrape it up and burn it just to make sure.

 

I have the same model. That strip definitely does not light up.
