Interior Lights Operation

I have a new 2016 F250 Lariat and I have a question regarding the interior lights.
When shut off the vehicle at night the interior lights (as well as the cargo light and the side mirrors marker lights) come on. Does anyone know a way to disable this function so the lights remain off. My previous 2009 F150 I was able to keep the lights off by just placing a switch in the off position on the overhead light.
Appreciate any assistance.

There should be a selection in the menu that you access with the left hand buttons on the steering wheel that lets you modify how long the lights stay on, etc.

I don't think the menu allows you to disable the function - just change the timer.

You can take it back to the Dealer and they can reprogram the truck's BCM to put it Law Enforcement "Stealth Mode" that way the interior lights won't turn on automatically. Unfortunately, they'll probably charge you to do that.
