On GM vehicles, the dash and accessory lights go out when there is a blown fuse on the tail lights. This design was to get your attention that your driving at night with no tail lights. Most tail light problems are from connecting trailer lights wrong or shorted bulbs/ sockets. This might not apply to Chrysler, but it's something to check.

SOURCE: Where is the factory amp

The amp relay is in the Relay/Fuse box located under the hood. The amp relay is the one labeled NBS which stands for Name Brand Speakers. If you are trying to install an after market radio in a 2001 Chrysler Town and Country, you may notice that no sound comes from the speakers. This is because the single wire that is connected to the factory radio sends a signal to the Bus which tells the relay to turn on - powering the factory amp.

I bypass this by running a wire from the red Acc power wire on the radio to the relay. Connect the wire to pin number 87 on the relay. When standing in front of and facing the van, pin number 87 is the pin, on the NBS relay, which is closest to you and furtherst right.

Are you looking to replace the amplifier? or bypass the speaker wires??

Usually factory amplifiers in vans are under the P/S Front seat. However they can be up under the dash as well (P/S).

If you're looking for it because it is not turning on - check the relay (as above).

SOURCE: 2007 Chrysler TOWN AND COUNTRY.. OVRHEAD MAP

I had the same problem on my 07 and it turned out to be caused by the bulbs getting too hot and melting the surrounding plastic which opened the circuit powering them. I was able to fix the problem by removing the bulbs and cleaning the sockets allowing the bulbs to seat correctly. The lenses snap off to give you access to the bulbs. If you are not familiar with how interiors of cars come apart, I would not suggest doing it as you may crack the lens.
