I have a small light, about half the size of a dime, near my rear window switch on the roof in the cab. It shines directly into my center console. It is not to bright, but honestly, it is annoying the crap out of me! I looked in my book and couldn't find anything about it. Any ideas what it is and if it can be turned off?

Well, at least I know it is suppose to be there. I guess I can just put a piece of electrical tape over it. :happy107:

If its a newer model Ram, that light can be turned off at night by using the interior lighting dimmer switch. rotate the dimmer switch until it clicks or the light turns off

I love that feature, I can leave my doors open for as long as I want without the light attracting bugs at night.

I found out tonight that I can turn the light off by using the dimmer switch. However, I like having my dash lights somewhat brighter, so to turn the overhead light off I have to turn the dimmer all the way down.
