Default Interior Light Switch

Ok… I hope I’m just missing something here. When you hit the switch for the interior lights, be it an individual light or all lights, is there an indicator somewhere to let you know they’re on? Why the button itself doesn’t illuminate is beyond me.

If you turn the lights on to do something for a few minutes and then open the door, how do you know if you’ve turned the lights off and they’re just on because the door is open?

I think but, I'm not sure yet, that I may have discovered something by accident that could help you. After leaving my truck the other day I decided to lock the door.( I hadn't remembered to lock it from the inside.I I didn't want to pull the key fob gizmo out of my pocket so I hit the bottom 2 buttons on the door code thingy which then locks the truck. I noticed when I did it that all the lights , interior and exterior, shut off right away as the doors locked. If you do this and the interior lights stay on then you know that the switch has them on.

I haven't had a chance to confirm this yet. It's been to cold out here to go play with it.

If you check it out and it woks post back and let me know.

No idea why it doesn't have a simple, 3-way rocker switch like every other car since forever. Dumb system I think.
