Cargo Light

On either side of the high mount brake light there is a bulb and a clear lense. I assume this would be the cargo light, but apparently mine doesn't work. I checked the bulbs and they are fine. No where in the owners manual does it say anything about these lights. How do I get them to work if they are indeed cargo lights?

They wont come on when you open the doors. To turn them on, just roll the **** all the way up, that is located next to the headlight switch. That will also turn the dome light on as well as the cargo lamps in the rear.

Welcome to the club! That was my question on my first post (now see my count). The guys here fixed me right up, told me to rotate that instrument dimmer switch.

Thanks guys! I suspected that's how they were operated, but the dimmer switch was really stiff and I was afraid of breaking it at first. Thank you again.
