Did this on my last two trucks. Worked perfectly. Not sure why you guys are having issues? You can’t be doing it right. Go through this thread carefully. It’s all there.

Okay so I was inspired by 2 threads here, one being the fog lights on with high beams, which I did and love. The other is a thread about putting a switch in the bed by the tailgate to turn on the car

Hello,   Good idea, but I took your step little different. I have the puddle light and I tapped into that.     This way, when vehicle is in "run" position, puddle lights and the cargo lights w

I just did it again today. I happen to hop into the passenger seat today and turned on the ignition to refresh my SiriusXM radio. I then turned the car off and closed and lock the passenger door and the radio continued to play. Wasn't till I opened the drivers door and that it turned off. 

.. that's because the RAP senses the drivers door open/close.. your passenger can exit the vehicle without disabling the RAP

2018 Silverado WT, Sgl Cab, Std. bed,  I did this mod(straight wire) which my wire was too small.  If you run into that just double over you wire ends and solder.  The result?  Well Dang! this is nice!  Another advantage which I haven't hear mentioned is that if someone is tailgating you just press you cargo light from inside the cabin and wallah, your sending you upper cargo lights, your reverse lights, I had added LED tailgate light which also light up white when in reverse mode, and you upper/lower brake lights.  That should get a clear message to them tailgaters!  I had already upgrade the reverse upper and lower with super bright LEDs so I love the fact I can just reach over and hit the in cab cargo light and send the message.  :D

All this said I just hope this never creates an issue with the any of the BCMs but for right now I'm loving this and probably the easiest mod I've done.  Thanks to those who published which connections to shunt.:seeya:

What are you using to enable the cargo lights being able to be turned on while moving?

Dang it, I spoke too soon.  I just went for  a drive to the grocery store and well, no can do.  I didn't even think about the fact that being in drive the cargo lights are disabled.  :uhoh:

 

Oh well, I still like the mod overall.:rolleyes:

You have another picture with the diode? It goes from brown block blue wire in upper left corner to pink block brown and white secon from the upper left? For the cargo with reverse right?

Yes, it does. My photo is from my '15, after I did the cargo w/ reverse diode mod.

      Uh yes, that's the name of the package. It doesn't quite bring it up to 1 ton specs unfortunately and imagine they have to do that for a numbers reason rather than a physical one.    Am I correct though that the Max Trailer Package and therefore the 12" rear is only available on the Duramax and not on any of the L8T 3/4 ton trucks ( and that the same 11.5 rear axle center section is used on the 3/4, 1 ton SRW and even 1 ton dually gas version ) ?   I'd also be curious to know if the wheel bearings are the same on a SRW configuration between an 11.5 vs the 12" diff as I assume parts would show that up but may not explain what the difference is if indeed there was a physical difference.

      Mobil up another dime this am , $3.89, others will probably go up later. Any ideas on the reason for the increase other than greed? I've been working 14 hour days and haven't caught the news in a few days.

      AMSOIL SS is about prevention and it is very good at it's job. I've never seen it claim to be a cleaner however like Valvoline R&P. Almost any oil that has some Ester or Alkylated Naphthalene in sufficient quantity will do a good job at keeping the rings functional.     I see the market splint among these types in two groups; those that use the same tech in every weight grade and those that reserve the tech for the EPA (EPA) friendly grades. Mobil 1 for example keeps the Advanced Clean chemistry out of the SAE 40 and up weights. Other like HPL (top shelf group and No-VII), Red Line HP, TORCO, MPT30K use the tech in all grades. Just not something the Wally World oils are into.
