Question edit* I'm a stooge for not searching first* (Lights came on all by themselves)

Have anyone else had this happen? My switch was "On" fyi. Good thing I was awake! Im droping the truck off tomorrow to have them "look" at the truck for the spring TSB.

But anyway my god dam lights just fired up all by them selves.

Edit: I was sitting in my living room reading the dual battery thread. I was not in the truck.

they dont stay on very long. just a few minuter, your battery will not get drained. and if you dont want the light to turn on, just turn the switch off and the lights wont turn on.

The ignition circuit re-energizes 4-5 hours after shut-down to evacuate the vapor canister. It lasts a few minutes.

I don't think it's actually mentioned in the DIY thread....just every other thread since then.

I kinda like it when people always tell me my fogs are on, i tell them the truck is possessed and don't piss her off!
