Are you talking about the third brake light? on the top of the back of the cab? it automatically comes on.

its a 3rd brake light? never would of thought that as they were not required in 1993 IIRC.. PLus is a clear lense, so I was guessing it was a "cargo" type light..

guess its either dead or doesnt work because it doesnt light up when I hit the brakes..

Turn your light switch to the left until it clicks.

Yeah, that's a 'cargo light'. If I remember right, it should also come on when you open the door.

The cargo light in the bed for my truck only comes on when I turn the light **** left. Opening the door only turns on the interior lights

I may be wrong. My door-jam switch or something else in the courtesy light system don't work and my interior lights only come on when i manually switch anyway.
