I have a 2017 Ram 1500 with AMP Research retractable running boards. Ive noticed the LED lights which illuminate the steps when the doors are opened are randomly turning on even when the truck is parked and turned off. There’s no predictability as to when this occurs, it seems to be random.

Does anyone know which fuse I should pull to disconnect these lights until I can get my electronics evaluated?

mdricko - I purchased the vehicle used and it already had AMP Research retractable steps and the lights installed. I may just call an AMP Research dealer / installer to have them look at it. Have a good one.

My guess is that they have to be on an ACC fuse. If they are not a factory install, the wire to the lights should not be in a harness. Can you follow the wire to the fuse block? Other option is to see if you can get the lights to stay on with your door open in your driveway, and start pulling fuses until they turn off
