Bed lights not working...again.

The bed light switch will turn off and on the rear cab light but is not working on the lights inside the bed. This is the second go-around with this issue. Back to the dealership again, this will be the 7th trip for various issues since delivery in May. Frustrating!

My bed lights stopped working about a month after I bought the truck. I'm waiting till I bring it in for the tow controller recall. Did they tell you what was wrong the other times you brought it in?

Does the rubber button in the bed by the tailgate turn the box lights on and off?

Am I doing something wrong? I just assumed the button in the bed turns the lights on and off. Does something else need to be on in order for that switch to work?

Not that I'm aware of. I thought that was the only way to turn them on and off.
