Are the drain holes on the bottom inside of the door clogged? Not that that would really hold that much water but it is a thought.
Wasn't there a thread about water leaking in to the side panel near the door? I think it was more getting on the floor of the truck but it's a thought. Check the rubber gasket that goes around the door. maybe there is a fold that is letting water in, shorts it out and when it dries everything is fine ?

i popped the switch panel out to see if anything was wet or disconnected and it was fine.

It's a post count thing, not time, either 25 or 50, I don't recall which. Maybe a moderator can intervene and get the message sent.

So this is definitely a water leaking into the cab issue... today I parked it in the sun for about 8 hours and it was 90+ degrees. Magically everything works again. Wtf...

Well, then you need to check all the water tight harness connections, maybe add some dielectric grease.
Also, there should be a water shield between the door panel and the door frame.

GREAT NEWS ! Better this then expensive $$$ for some kind of crap electronics.
No sunroof right?
Make sure the tiny drain holes are cleared on the door for starters.

Search on the forum as I remember seeing this somewhere but it may have been after Sept 2020 (which is when I got my new F350)

No sunroof, but I have had the windshield replaced due to leaking on that side of the vehicle before so I'm thinking that it's related.

If it was from windshield I would say you would have water on the floor. Check the drain holes on the door first and see if they are open

Interesting, seeing as how my '21 F350 has the exact opposite issue.

The passenger side mirror folds in upon locking in about 5-6 seconds, while the driver side mirror takes nearly twice that long.

Might this be as sign of a weak motor, or?...
