Ranger Raptor thoughts after 4 days ownership... Why won’t my map lights turn on?

[KayaPayaPigDog]

I put together another video today about a few things… biggest issue is that my interior map lights don’t turn on, what am I doing wrong?!?! I’ll check fuse tomorrow.

GL, will be interested in the resolution.

If you shut off the auto start/stop and save the settings with the R button....does auto start/stop stay off?

Check page 106 of the owners manual.

No, it will turn back on every time the truck is started. It doesn’t start in R mode, it’ll start in normal. So you’d either press 1 button to turn off auto start/stop, or the R button twice to switch to the saved settings. It might be possible for it to be fully disabled with forscan or a tune

Enjoying you videos.

Looking forward to seeing more including how this light question turns out.

Just FYI true beadlock rims are not DOT approved for use on public roads, they are deemed for for off-road use only.
As I understand it, there are safety implications or concerns for running beadlock rims. Apparently since the tire can’t break free from the rim that in the event of an accident there is a greater potential for the beadlock equipped vehicle to rolling over. That’s my understanding anyway.


Keep the great videos coming.

thanks for the note about the beadlock not being DOT approved. that is great to know. I dont see myself needing that feature to be honest... after some searching, it looks like that is really only necessary for rock crawlers airing down to like 4 PSI going 0.5 mph over bolders... super cool to watch and always impressive, but not my cup of tea and not what this truck is built for so i think i'm in the clear.

I have an appt with the dealer on monday for the lights... i think it's a wiring thing because uase i checked the fuses today and that wasn't the problem... i'll be sure to keep everyone posted!

nailed it... this is 100% what i have found as well

Well now I am thinking since I know with my TRX I always prefer my custom driver settings.
Odds are I will want to also setup my own custom settings in my Ranger Raptor as well. So, most likely I will just need to get used to hitting that R button to turn on my settings anyway.
Unless that Forscan tool can make it stay in my custom settings, I may not buy or do anything to shut it off with an eliminator something like that.
