Dome/ map lights when exiting truck.

[Stlram81]

Noticed tonight that my lights don't come on when I turn off the truck. Makes it hard to see to get your things together....

Is that normal? My last truck they came on when you turned the key off.

I never really thought about it but i dont think mine come on either until I open the door. It doesn't matter to me though

Make sure your interior light dial is pushed all the way over, I believe, and that should fix it.

 

[Stlram81]

That makes it stay on all the time.... Good one though lol

I noticed this when I switched the interior lights over to leds and that I cant turn them on with the truck off they do power up but so dim they are unusable not all that pleased about that if anyone knows a fix would be appreciated

Are they canbus led lights? Might be a problem. I put non canbus in mine today with no problems. (2011 sport)

 

[big_red06]

truthfully not sure if they are canbus I bought them as a kit on ebay they work great just truck needs to be powered up to use them or the doors must be open did the maps the dome and the footwells

Mine don't either, until I open the door. I've upgraded the interior bulbs to led so if I switch them on with the key off they just hyper flash.

 

[big_red06]

mine don't hyperflash they just glow really dim like they are not getting the power they need

 

[Stlram81]

That's weird. Mine were cheap ebay bulbs I had left laying around. Work fine so far.

I'm having this same problem since upgrading my lights to LED. It very seldom works but I like when I get in/out to be able to see what's going on inside and where stuff is. Anyone know of a SPECIFIC LED set that this won't happen for?

Lights come on when you open the door.

Lights come on when you open the door.

Nope. I wouldn't have posted otherwise lol. They used to until I replaced the interior lights with LED... Now they don't usually come on when they should.

 

[bigolayne]

Same here. Lights don't come on until the key is inserted. It has to be with power draw or lack there of.

 

[jgruberman]

It will sometimes come on... But not usually. Hoping someone has some insight... Or else I'm going back to non led
