Obnoxious Light Flashing

Howdy, did a search, couldn't find anything on the subject so asking here.

 

2023 GMC 2500HD - Nice truck but...

 

Does anyone how to keep the lights from flashing every time the tailgate is opened?  It's a crap "feature". 

 

Visualize a dark early morning near your favorite hunting spot, quietly getting out of the truck, going to open the tailgate and BAM you're treated to a blinding light show.  Ridiculous.

 

 

Don't know why it needs to be the business of the whole neighborhood to know the tailgate was opened.

I haven’t tried it because my truck isn’t handy right now, but try turning off the unlock feedback lighting for the remote in vehicle settings and see if that also turns off the tailgate feedback light lighting. It’s on page 133 of my 2021 owners manual.

Tried it, but didn't work.  Seems like any time that solenoid is triggered the truck just has to announce that valuables may be going into, or coming out of the bed.  You would think that a truck from Detroit would know better...
