    Weird problem just arose with my 2002, Cargo light and driver side rear side light will not go off, every time I open the door the cargo switch indicator light comes on, I can press the button and it goes off but as soon as I open the door again it comes back on, the actual cargo light and rear sidelight will not go off at all, I had to disconnect the battery????

    For now I would remove the 5 amp Cargo fuse. I'm not sure I know what "driver side rear side light" you're speaking of ?

    Forgive the turd gen’r, they have no kooth :)

    Sounds like a bad ground problem. Don't have a wiring schematic so can't tell you how they might be connected but whenever I've had weird issues like this it's been caused by bad grounds.

    It's also been my experience that when seemingly unrelated circuits are affecting one another, it's a bad ground.
