Electrical Gurus - Map Lights Won't Turn Off!

Hello,

The map lights in the rearview mirror are constantly on when the truck is running. Once the truck is shut off the lights go off. The two buttons that appear to control the lights are not functioning. The compass and temp gauge in the mirror seem to work fine and the middle button on the rear view mirror seems to turn it on and off.

The bulbs look like they are LED so it doesn’t look like I can just pull them out for now. Does anyone have a wiring diagram so I can try to correct this? It appears they are receiving a source of switched 12V from somewhere.

I just bought this truck and it didn’t come with any manuals. Even if I could pull the fuse for now would be good. It’s annoying driving around with these lights on.

Thanks in advance!

Is the dash light brightness rotated all the way up? That would turn those on.

It's not turned all the way up. That was the second thing I checked after trying the on/off buttons. Thanks for the response though!
