I'm Awesome
I was looking to see if anyone knew how to make the cargo lights come on with the dome light when unlocking and locking doors with key fob?

Mine stays on when the dome lights shut offTurn on the "cargo light" switch, it will come on with the dome lights, and will it shut off the dome lights shut off.
AftermarketIs the 3rd brake light an aftermarket unit or the factory one?
Ahhh ok, there's your problem. The cargo light will not work like factory with the aftermarket unit. I am guessing you bought a cheap on off of Amazon or Ebay? I have a black w/ smoke lens LED third brake light (which I am assuming you have an LED unit as well) on my 97 and it does the same thing as what you are describing. I cut the yellow wire so the brake light didn't stay on, but then the cargo lights wouldn't work like factory. I was hoping to have it on, like you want to do, but it wasn't going to happen. On the other hand, my 98 has the Spec-D unit, and it works just like the factory unit would.
I would suggest getting a new unit if you want the cargo lights to work like factory. I would highly recommend the Anzo brand third brake light, or Spec-D Tuning third brake light. @df2x4 has the Anzo version (smoke), and I have the Spec-D Tuning (chrome) version. Both are good quality units.
