2001 Didn't Ram 2500 with 96 wiring. Bought a LED 3rd brake light from eBay it said for 95-02 Rams. My problem is one I plug it in (even after the truck has been off for hours) the cargo lights come on at full brightness. How would I go about fixing this?

 

Take a look at the wiring diagrams on this site and figure out which wire is giving the issue.

 

I have the family for both years and I can't seem at all to figure it out. The factory cargo light wire don't have power until the 3rd brake light is plugged in.

 

There was another thread about this not so very long ago.... I don't remember what the resolution was.....

 

Well I read 2 different problems with these lights. They stay dim for a little bit after the truck shuts off (I can add a resistor no biggie) and the problem I'm having now (which nobody posts back with what they fixed it with)

 

did you find a solution for the third brake light staying on? I have the same issue.
