Interior lights?

[DesertMC]

I know I'm a newbie (~2 weeks with new truck), but I don't understand why interior lights aren't illimuniated when I open any door. The exterior marker lights come on. What's the deal? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Your switches have to be physically set for "DOOR". You should see a switch on the bezel of your interior light. I believe this is true for most cars and trucks.

Ok, "interior light function button", on roof console was switched off for stealth mode. Good to go now. Thanks

Yeah this tricked me in a f150 a few years back, there is a button on the overhead switches that basically turns off dome lights when doors are open.

As RaptorTremor said, there is a switch in overhead console, in middle, that enables turning off lights when door is open. I suspect what happen to me, is that when I took delivery I acted like a kid at Christmas and started pushing every button in sight?
