Default Dome/Courtesy Light Issue?

Just got my 2017 XLT today and the interior courtesy lights will not come on. I've tried the button on the upper console both ways (light on and off) and lights still will not come on unless I manually turn them on.

Bed light works fine.

Any ideas?

Did you hit the door button on the upper console?

Just for the heck of it, try brightening the dash lights with the dimmer button by the headlight switch. When I turn down my dash lights completely everything on the dash goes dark including the center dash. Thought my center dash area went dead when it happened the first time. My interior light never comes on and I prefer it this way. It's part of dark mode I enabled with FORScan so I'm not exactly sure if the dimmer circuit affects the dome light or not like it does all of my dash lights.

I'm guessing there's a switch or relay that's bad.

Check the setup screen in your instrument cluster. I'm pretty sure you can disable/enable the lights there.

I didn't see anything related to that there.

Sounds like Dark Car got enabled. Do your parking lights turn on when you open your door with the truck ignition off?
