There is a battery saver relay in these Expeditions. If any of the doors, or the rear hatch/window is left open for 40 minutes the relay turns the lights off to save the battery. Closing everything then opening one up again starts the counter over again.

It's good to know IF you have a good battery. 45 mins can really draw down the battery, especially with the lit sideboards and all interior lights on. mine lasted about 30 mins so i knew it was time to replace that 5 yr old battery.
