2008 Explorer Features

Any one know if these 2 "features" can be adjusted?

If starting the truck up with the drivers door open, the interior lights go out. Any way to make it so they stay on? I've never had a vehicle that did this.

And the one that drives my wife nuts, is there a way to turn off the extra wipe the wipers give when running the windshield washer? Apparently this causes her windshield to streak vs nicely cleaning off the few trails of windshield wash that are flowing down the windshield. Even new blades don't help this.

I ddn't find anything in the owners manual that might help. The truck is an 08 Limited, if that offers anything.

Thanks

No to both questions. My '07 also has the extra wipe, and I asked the dealer about it and he said it could not be reprogrammed...
