Map light mystery

Newbie here. Just picked up a new to me 2013 6.7 250 with 16k. Map lights are driving me nuts. They were not working at all so I pulled the cover off to find out that they were not plugged in. Easy fix. Not so much. I plug them in and they turn on but won't turn off. When I press the button they start to blink. I've searched but found nothing relevant. Any ideas? Thanks.

Welcome to the forum, Rwloope; congrats on the truck! I'd recommend bringing the map lights to the attention of your dealer; I know they'd be happy to track down the cause of this issue. If you decide to get them involved, let me know; I'll be able to step in and assist once they've taken a look.
