Default Puddle Light Activation Question

The only thing I find regarding the illuminating of the puddle lights is when the unlock button is selected on the fob. Is there a setting in that %$!$ truck which allows for those lights to activate upon the opening of the doors? Thanks.

Three ways to turn on the puddle lights:
1) remote unlock
2) open doors with interior lights set to "on with door open"
3) cargo light button on dash beside headlight switch

Mirror spot lights are completely separate, with dedicated L & R switches as the only method of activation.

Thanks. Didn't try cargo switch. Lights must be belly up. No lights when doors opened and / or when pressing remote unlock. All other lights function as designed. Was wondering if within that menu (or whatever it's called) there's a way to kill the puddles only and perhaps they're just turned off. Not a biggie but I like my stuff to work.

Too funny and a bit embarrassing. I have no puddle lamps. Only plastic covers where they'd go. The only thing I can think of is my MiL has a Platinum model F-150 and her's most definitely has them as I looked at her's while chasing my problematic ghost. Relieved because the truck appears well taken care of, several maintenance records, etc. To the best of my knowledge, everything works.
