Electrical issue

I have a 2010 Ford F-150 4WD 4 Door. The dome light, marker lights and truck bed light will light up intermittenly at night. They will stay illuminated any where from 1 minute up to 15 minutes. I thought maybe my TV remote control was activating the remote entry feature on my truck but that is not the case.

Any one have a fix for that problem.

i agree.

sounds to me like the BCM thinks the door has been opend and then shut (on for 1 min.), or left open (on for 15 min).

when you get out of your truck the parking lights should stay on for about 1 minute. if you leave your door open, the dome light should shut itself off in about 15 minutes to prevent a dead battery.

i'd bet something with the pin switch.... but i think i'd let a dealer chase it down.

Try spraying penetrating oil up in the door latches on all the doors and open and close them several times. That is where the swithes are.
