I have an issue I discovered recently. When I push my bed lighting button in the back of the bed the bed mounted lights don't turn on but the high mounted cargo light does. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this? The bed lights have worked in the past and it been quite a while since I have pushed the button.

Possible your battery is going out. Sane thing happened to mine when my battery was low.

I just started the truck and same results. You would think if the vehicle is running they would work.

I’m having the same issue. Ford thinks it’s the bcm but who knows.

You’re a life saver! I’ll have to check this at some point on the weekend because if this fixes my issues it will save me a headache from the dealership wanting to put in a new bcm in my truck to fix this issue!

I’ll have to try it this weekend. I’ll pulled the as built online for my truck. I’m having the same issue and the other guy. High mount light works box lights stop working. The switch work but the box lights won’t go on. If this fixes my issue I’m going to be really happy but also upset with the dealership because they had it for a day and a half digging into this and trying to figure out why my tailgate wouldn’t open

Yes they said there was a section of the wire corroded. Somewhere under the truck that runs from the driver side harness. I don’t know how true that is but I guess I gotta believe them. I just don’t understand how it got corroded already it’s a 2021 lariat

They were going to replace a bcm over that? It wouldn’t have fixed it .. it’s an issue with the config on fords side.

Yup they ordered a bcm which was going to take 5 weeks to come in. But I don’t understand how it happen maybe a new power up update messed something up because it work fine before
