I cannot see, from my drivers seat, if the tailgate is down. Once I wasn't paying attention and drove off with my Honda inverter gen sitting on it. Went half a mile, never fell off. I got lucky but have been paranoid ever since. I want to wire a circuit to illuminate an LED in my cab when it's open. Seems simple but how would yall do it? What components would you suggest and where can I get them?

IIRC you can buy car/truck light bulbs that have embed buzzers that will whine like a yenta when the light is dead. It avoids you from making any modifications and is funny af when you don’t expect it.

Hmm, I wouldn't know which light to replace as there are none linked to the action of my gate being open. I'd probably use that for other things as I didn't know they existed.
