Cargo light switch


Recommended Posts

The cargo light switch under the heater controls looks like it should light up when the switch is on. When I turn mine on the switch doesn’t light up. Can someone check to see if it should light up orange like the park sensors?

 

thanks

The early 2014s did not light up. After that they all should light up.

Light also only works when the truck is in park or reverse unlike some previous models. When you push it with the ignition on (also works with ignition off in park) you’ll get a message on the driver info screen that says something like cargo light enabled/cargo light disabled at least on the LT and up models. So the indicator light on the switch only lights up when the light is physically on even if the switch is enabled.

My 2014 Sierra All Terrain doesn't light up.  Guess I have an early 2014.  that would explain why I don't have rear step bumper either.  Wonder if its possible to get the lighted switch and swap them out?

I sure hope so because I'm buying a switch that lights up and am going to attempt it. Am changing the whole thing.

Yeah my 2014 doesnt light up nor does it work while in drive which is stupid. I would have liked to use it as a Thank You signal when someone lets me in during a rush hour traffic and so on. Would be cool..

If I was you I wouldn't get rid of the no step bumper, they seem rare to come upon one

I use that step almost as much as I do the steering wheel, genius idea!

    • Did you ever get this worked out? Mike is doing the two start thing now too. This is after a new camera back in December. 
    • I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal. 
    • Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?
    • I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps. 
    • Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
