    Does anyone else see that their truck bed light stays on for 20 minutes or so after they start their truck and drive? I rarely drive at night so I probably didn't notice this for quite a while (owned for a year now). I'm not sure if it's always been this way. I see the same results after I park it. Light stays on for 20 minutes before it goes off. I keep my headlights in the 'on' position all the time so I understand that this may cause that to happen while parked but while driving makes no sense at all. is there a setting that will stop this?

    This may seem stupid but have you tried turning it off with the switch to the left of your steering column?

    The first one in the yellow rectangle.

    Stole the pic from @mesojdm’s thread.

    ha ha. I think I'm the stupid one. I must have bumped that switch with my knee. I also don't drive at night so I haven't had a use for that light. :crazy:

    THANKS!!!!!
