Should these lights be working?

[1967c10]

Hello everyone, well this next question should make it obvious that I am new to Rangers. My question is when I open up the door should the lights by the third brake light (cargo lights) be lighting up? I am sure that on my Super duty that I drive for work that they light up when the door is open. If not when the door is open, then is there any other way to get them to come on? Thanks so much for answers to this silly question

i don't know about the newer trucks but i know on first gen you have to turn on the dome light to get it to come on.

My 97 the cargo light has to be turned on with the dome light/dimmer switch.
