Question PUTCO taillight problem

i know some of you have them and might be able to help me. so i just bought a new third LED brake light. once i hooked it up it looked clean and the brake lights looked awesome. thing is the cargo lights even though they worked seemed to stay on (very dim) when everythings off doors are all closed and the cargo lights off.

i'm not sure if its a wiring problem with the truck or with the actual assymbly, the jackass at the company.. wait i mean "tech" automatically said it was my truck. any thoughts.

The cargo light is on the same delay timer that the interior lights are on. if the cargo light stays on after you lock the doors with your remote, then yes you do have a problem. i would assume bad ground.

Need a resistor much like the interiors do. It's a fairly simple fix just go to a local electronics store and they should be able to help you out.
