Cargo light 17' 3500

I had to buy an aftermarket cargo/brake light. It doesn't work. I'm guessing I need to buy the proper switch and replace the headlamp control. Is there anything else I need to do , to get it to work?

Well......I was primarily inquiring if it were a regular pickup or a Cab & Chassis.

Do you know the difference between a standard pickup and a Cab & Chassis?

It's a utility body. However I don't think that's relevant because I'm looking to figure out the cargo lamp switch because since it's considered a commercial vehicle it didn't come with a third brake light. I installed one. I just ordered a lamp and cargo switch online. The truck didn't originally come with one. Looking to find out if someone knows how to get it going. The chassis has nothing to do with that. If you can't help that's fine

The fact that it IS a Cab & Chassis (and not a pickup with box delete) has EVERYTHING to do with it.......getting info from you was almost like pulling teeth.

In a nutshell.....there will need to be sales codes updated within the BCM to enable certain options available, including the 3rd brake light and cargo lamps, and possibly even the different headlight switch.
