New Owner and a Noob Question on Overhead Cargo/Bedlight

[RDHose]

So I recently purchased a 2020 1500, and I have been looking all over to try and figure out how to keep the bedlight that is in the 3rd taillight OFF when unlocking, opening the doors etc. It turns on no matter what. I can manually turn it off by pressing the light on the headlight knob and it will turn off then. But after I open the doors, or unlock the truck with the FOB they just come right back on. Is there any way for that overhead light switch to actually work as a normal switch? Where you press it to keep it off, and press it again to turn it on when needed? Looked all over the place to find this answer.

Thanks guys for your help in advance.

I wish I knew if it were possible too.

Not possible to my knowledge. Could probably take the bulbs out and not have them and add the factory bed lights that work off that same knob switch or aftermarket bed lights on its own switch. Not sure if removing the bulbs would set a CEL, or flag it in the cluster as faulty bulb/light out alarm, but likely would.

My two biggest peeves are this bedlight light issue, and the Auto Stop Start. I at least fix the Auto Stop Start with the Autostop Eliminator. Which I am really considering on picking up.

Depends on the options you have .. I can turn mine off when I exit, or have it on if I want --

Yeah. I only have the over head light with that switch. I can turn off. But next time I unlock the truck they just pop back on and do not stay off.

I'd have to actually run out and take a look .. do you have the rotary switches by chance? I think those also deal with it after getting everything setup.

Apparently the cargo lights coming on can be disabled this way:

Whenever the illuminated Entry Off button is pushed, next time i unlock the car, all the interior and cargo light will not On.
