Is there a way to get the BED LIGHT to come on when you open the tailgate?

I've searched the manual and can't find this but it seems like a reasonable feature to have the bed light come on for a few minutes when you open the tailgate.

I always struggle to find the button in the dark.

Zone Lighting in the infotainment to activate the light, then open the truck bed? That would be the only way I can think of.

Your idea makes too much sense.

Thanks I'll tinker with that but I still think that's a manual switching on/off. In the prior truck I've owned (Rivian), the bed light came on automatically when the tailgate opened - which is super helpful after dark.

Yeah my suggestion is manual. Sorry. That's all we get.

I agree the zone light is useful after dark.

It would be really nice if the button was powered and glowed in the darkness. I also struggle to find the button when it’s dark out.

Leaving the below link for others who are electrically inclined as I’m not. Also tagging @ZSC100 who is and could possibly adapt it for lightnings.
