After parking, when I shut off the engine my dome light does not come on until I open the door.
is there a setting that I am missing? Every car I’ve owned have the interior lights turn on when the ignition is shut off.

There is no setting for that. That is how they operate.

INTERIOR COURTESY LIGHTS
The courtesy lights will turn on when the front doors are opened, by rotating the dimmer
controls on the headlight switch fully upward, or, if equipped, when the unlock button is pushed on the key fob.

The interior courtesy lights are located in the center of the vehicle’s sport bar, and consist of
one large center light and four smaller reading lights. Each reading light can be turned on by
pushing the lens. Pushing the lens a second time will turn the light off.

Dome Lights
When a door is open and the interior lights are on, rotating the dimmer control to the extreme
bottom position will cause all the interior lights to turn off. This is also known as “Party” mode
because it allows the doors to stay open for extended periods of time without discharging the vehicle’s battery.

Thank you.
Figured as much. Was hoping someone found a secret setting or something.

I would have thought FCA would have incorporated a better as in brighter dome light, IMHO it’s pretty weak.

That would be a great Z automotive feature for additional controls on the interior lights

Also, for those that found it too dim (definitely), I tapped into the dome wiring for both bars and put another set of my rock lights (2 front bar, 2 rear). Lights up the interior like a Christmas tree.
