Expert Reply:
In order to wire the third brake light and interior light on your 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 you will need a few components. In order to keep the third brake light from flashing when you apply the turn signals you will want to use a converter box like part # C56196. You can then use either the passenger side or driver side brake light signal to power the third brake light. In regards to the interior light, the most common method of installation would be to activate the light with an on/off switch like part # PK34571.
The rest of the parts you need to install the above components are just miscellaneous wire like part # 12-1-1 (per foot) and connectors like part # SWC501746-1.
