Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / May 2005'99 Ranger Cargo Light
Greetings... Is there such a thing as a 'cargo light' on the Ranger? I had a center brake bulb burn out and I noticed that there were bulbs in the 2 outer sockets (same as brake), and for the life of me I can't find a way to turn the cargo lights on. I've been through the manual cover-to-cover with no luck. The only thing I find about 'cargo lights' is the replacement bulb number. Anyone have a clue? Thanks...

Usually they go on with the dome light. Should be controlled the same as your dome light. Open the door or turn the switch on your dash. For my F150 I picked up a spare "third stop/cargo light" assembly on ebay identical to the one on my truck and mounted it as the high-mount stop light in the cap for my truck. I wired the two cargo lights into my backup lights so it is easier for others to see that I am in reverse when I've got a trailer on. Cheers, Lawrence Thanks to those who responded, but unfortunately neither are correct. You see, the Ranger doesn't have a dash switch for the dome light, only the one for varying the brightness of the dash lights; the dome light has it's own switch. Anyone else have any ideas?

There is a detent at the end of the switch. This will turn on the interior light and the cargo light. At least it does on my 2000 SC. > Thanks to those who responded, but unfortunately neither are correct.

Have a '99 Ranger and that's how the cargo lightes work on my truck. Gang... There's egg on my face! I was able to turn on the interior lights AND cargo lights by moving the brightness wheel all the way up. I guess I was just being too tentative about forcing the wheel past the initial stop. Thanks to everyone who responded. Mike >> Turn the brightness knob up all the way.
