Tow/Haul problem

Has anyone else had their transmission go into the tow/haul mode without touching the button? I have a 2013 f-150 5.0L . It's happened to me 3 times this week. I didn't have a trailer hooked up at the time.

Could be a short in the wire that runs up to the tow/haul button.

in years past, this was really common with the OD OFF button. The wire rubs inside the column and can cause issues like this.
