I believe the truck has to be taken to the Dealer.

The computer has to be re programmed

Page 92

Enabling/disabling the perimeter lighting feature
Your vehicle comes with the perimeter lighting feature enabled. All
vehicle doors must be closed before beginning the procedure. You must
complete Steps 1–5 within 30 seconds, or the procedure will have to be
repeated. If the procedure needs to be repeated, you must wait a
minimum of 30 seconds to begin again.
1. Turn the ignition to the 3 (ON) position, then press the control
three times.
2. Turn the ignition to the 1 (OFF/LOCK) position, then press the
control three times.
3. Turn the ignition to the 3 (ON) position; the horn will chirp to
indicate the driver configuration mode has been activated.
4. Within five seconds, press the control two times. Note: One horn
chirp should be heard, indicating the system has been disabled.
Conversely, a horn chirp followed by a honk will indicate the system is
enabled. Pressing the power door control two times again will turn
the feature ON if it was previously OFF, or OFF if it was previously ON.
Every two consecutive presses of the control after successfully
entering the configuration mode will change the enable/disable condition
of the feature.
5. Turn the ignition to the 1 (OFF/LOCK) position to exit programming.
Note: After exiting the driver configuration mode, the horn will chirp
once to indicate a feature has been activated/deactivated.
