Cargo lights while driving
first post so take it easy. is there a way to turn on the bed lights while driving. I've gotten my tow mirror spot lights to stay on with a jumper between pins. im looking for a solution like that. I also have forscan if there's a solution with that. Thanks

I dont believe theres a way to do this. I would have to look at the wiring diagrams to see how they are wired in but I believe they cut off as soon as the vehicle is above a set speed. youll have to rewire to make this possible.

Yea I was hoping to find something in forscan that disables whatever let’s it know your driving. Im
going to wire lights into the harness for the electric running boards and those would come on with the cargo lights and bed lights as well. Thanks again I’ve combed the inter webs and can only find solutions if they don’t shut off but nothing that says keep them on. I’m not opposed to rewiring either. I attempted to tie into the bed switch once so my small light bar/work light came on with the bed lights but that was no good. Learned there’s no fuse it’s all on the puter

Rear facing lights that are not red or amber while driving forward are illegal in many jurisdictions so be careful about running with your cargo lights on. It might bring you some unwanted attention.

No need for snark when you're the one with poor reading comprehension.
I am still trying to figure out why someone would want the cargo lights on while underway. The best I can come up with is maybe some people think it looks cool?

I guess you never had gear shift in the bed of your truck while “driving forward” and wanted to illuminate the area to check the cargo. Mind blowing I know.
