Sounds like you answered your own question... Well kind of.
The PATs system can react to these aftermarket add-ons by displaying a different behavior while the vehicle is in use. I've heard of aftermarket stereos, some alarms, tuners, etc. causing this "dummy" light to work differently.

I would remove the tuner, and return your truck's programming back to factory, and see if this odd light behavior goes away.
