Mike's correct in that the cargo area stays lit only as long as the lights normally stay on when you hit your unlock on the fob. I dig that though - nice easy way to check your load with just your fob at night. Since I added two diodes, one going each way, the other added benefit is that now when you turn on your cargo lights with the switch on the console, the reverse lights will come on, which gives you added visibility when loading stuff behind the truck at night. In that scenario, the reverse lights stay on for 20 minutes, which is the set timer for the cargo light switch. It also turns the cargo lights on when you are put the truck in reverse. If you have the backup camera it adds a little extra visibility at nighttime. I like it so far. My only concern is the dealership noticing it and busting my chops about my warranty. It's pretty obvious when you unlock the truck and the cargo light come on. I just can't see how they could blame this mod on any substantial issues. If I take it in for anything electrical related, I will pull the diodes out first.
