    How do you turn it on? It doesn’t come on with the cargo light!

    Did that come stock on your truck or did somebody own the truck before you? I installed mine and wired it to the cargo light but that may not be the case with yours. Can you follow the wiring harness to see where it is tapped into?

    I bought it a year old so it may haven been installed by someone else. I’ll have to look! Thanks

    Just curious, are you in a double cab or access cab? If I'm remembering right, in double cabs it is usually rigged to come on with the cargo light, in access cabs, it comes on with the dome lights.

    The switch may be in the bed or a push switch when the tailgate open. Maybe a blown fuse. Either way, lucky to have it. Just figure it out

    See if there is a switch inside the small cubby on that side of the bed.

    Gotta be part of the cargo lights. Turn it on with the door and tailgate open and see if it comes on...

    I have the sam lights. The wire harness probably runs down the truck frame on the left side. And comes into the cab just below the drivers seat. Then probably heads over foot well under the door sill. Should be able to find where it goes from there

    There will be wires coming out from directly behind the middle of each light. Follow those and see where they run to. Knowing that will help to narrow this down.

    I can’t find any switches. I’ll try to run the wires tomorrow

    Take the tail light out and you will see the wires in the cavity behind them. Start following them from there
