Cargo light

[Michael York]

So my Cargo light does not come on when I open the tailgate and it use to, not sure if I hit something or what's going on. It does come on when opening the the doors.

There should be a knob with two buttons by the light switches. One is a Cargo Bed Lighting Button and the other is Fog Lighting. You can turn it on or off when opening the doors or driving and so on. If that’s what you’re asking.

Sounds like he does not want to turn it onby a knob (or push button on the headlight switch). I think he wants it to turn on by opening the tailgate since he said "So my Cargo light does not come on when I open the tailgate and it use to".

I have the BUG. I have not paid attention to if the upper cargo light comes on with the tailgate or not though. It would make sense.

Mine has always come on when I drop the tailgate, but I always leave the headlamp switch in the auto position, if that makes any difference.

My experience:
Interior lights OFF when opening door, cargo light (CHMSL) OFF when opening tailgate
Interior lights ON when opening door, cargo lights ON when opening tailgate.

The cargo lights work based on the position of the interior light switch - based on my Bighorn.
