Cargo light doesn't work

I have an 08 F350 regular cab 4X4 that the cargo light doesn't work, Is this powered from the interior light like the old ones? or does it get its power from the GEM module? If it comes from the GEM is it possible to feed it like the old ones from the interior dome light without killing something? I really miss having a cargo light.

Maybe be a stupid question but are the bulbs burned out? When I bought my truck it had the cargo lights burned out as well as the rear overhead light. I'm assuming that the guy before me didn't need them and didn't replace them when they burned out.

changed the bulbs just to make sure, it won't come on with the doors open and it doesn't work with the roller switch either. It is just dead, but the feed for it goes under the headliner along with the dome light. I just don't know if it is something with the wiring or if it feeds from the gem box and isn't getting power from there.

cargo light still not working

F350 2008 cargo light not working, have checked and changed bulbs. Checked the fuse, and tested wiring at the cargo light, no juice at the light. Where does this get power from? The interior lights work when doors are open and with the roller switch but cargo light does not work at anytime. I really need to get this fixed so I can see to unload the truck at night. Does anyone have any information on this light or any ideas where I should start to look?
