  1. Cargo lights not turning off

    Any idea why the cargo lights on a 2023 Ranger might not be turning off? Tail gate and all doors closed, vehicle locked. Hit the button numerous times but that didn't change the state of the light either. Hoping the BMS will cut power to them eventually. Tempted to disconnect the battery and...
