If I recall, it is tied to one of the scare lights. Make sure that they are both off and you should resolve the problem. I know it is tied to another light.

Should be tied to the door side scare light (the round light up high on the side of the rig). My switch, in the main switch panel, says DS Flood Light. If your door side flood light isn't on it could be burned out, but the switch would still send power to the hitch light from your 12v system.

Scare light is turned off, rather off or on the led light just stays on, but the ds light will not come on unless I tap it with the outside light then comes on, light maybe on its way out, but the the led light should not stay just because a bulb is being burn out, somebody with a eng degree could of not design this that way, all it does is drain my battery.

Sounds like a wiring issue to me.

You say you have no remote. Was there EVER a remote for your Monty?

Good grief, remove the light disconnect the wires and forget it. In 8 years of having that light I have never used it. JMHO
