turning off exterior entry-exit lamps

How do you turn off the parking lamps. When you unlock/lock the truck.

If you are talking about the iluminated entry feature, aka puddle lamps, see page 74 of your owners manual:

PANEL DIMMER CONTROL
Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel when exterior
lights are on.
• Rotate the thumbwheel from left
to right to brighten the
instrument panel.
• Rotate the thumbwheel from right
to left to dim the instrument
panel.
• Rotate fully to the right (past detent) to turn on interior lamps.
Rotate to the left position (past detent) to turn off the interior lamps
and to disable the illuminated entry feature
. When the control is in the
far left position, it acts as a dome lamp defeat/override.

rotate thumb wheel to far left just turns off interior dome lamp, not exterior lamps. I turned autolamp off from the message center. But the front and rear lights still come on when locking/unlocking.

Maybe dealer could deactivate that otherwise I'm not sure. Does putting the key in hole and manually unlocking surpress the blinking?

when you manually unlock door, the lights turn on when you open door. Outside parking lights. no they do not blink. maybe its a dealer question.
