Check to make sure all the doors are closed all the way. That's about all I can think of.

I think you need to open and close driver door to start the lights off timer.

Start the truck and close all doors. If the lights stay on, press the button on the lower left of the four buttons surrounding the headlight switch. If they go out, shut the truck off, shut the doors, lock them with the fob, and walk away. All the lights will go out. The interior light remains on a little longer and then fades out.

If any of the previous comments dont help you, then you likely have a faulty BCM. Hopefully, the battery protection circuit will kick in and turn them off though.

This eventually did kick in. Man I have some messing around with it before we go to the drive in again. People were bitching that our lights wouldn't go off (rightfully so), so we put blankets around the mirrors to block the puddle lamps and a blanket between the MX4 and 3rd brake light to cover that. I had a few other electrical bugs when I first brought it home (carplay USB wasn't working then randomly started working). I will keep an eye on it, but need something to be repeatable before I take it in.

Thanks all for your help with this one. It was a "fun" time, with kids running around and trying to get the lights off!
