Cool Interior & running board lights

Lately when I turn off my truck the interior lights and runing board lights come on, after 45 seconds to a minute it'll turn off and then come back on. All doors are shut, & it repeats itself after a good 5 minutes. The same lights come on when using the Ford installed alarm remote. Can someone please help, this is driving me nuts!!!!

Question Interior & running board lights

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem? Now it's the next day and my battery is dead. The lights must have clicked on and off till the battery died.

It might be the door switches that are in the door latchs in the door it's self. I found spraying wd40 into them helped free up the electrical switch.

There is a sticky switch. Like fordsrbetr said, spray them out with WD40 or electrical contact cleaner.

Thanks, I'll try the WD-40 treatment. I'll get back to you on the results.

Thanks for the help I know it is almost 1 year later that I'm getting back to you, but spraying the WD-40 on the door latch did solve my problem.
