Default Electrical Gremlin maybe light issues????

So yesterday morning I noticed that i'm having a lighting issue with my 09 Pony. After shutting the car off I noticed that the car had the headlights turned on and the light switch was turned off. After getting out and hitting the lock button one time it still kept the headlights illuminated. Hitting the lock button on the fob twice it turned the lights off. Now it didn't do it anymore yesterday, fast forwarding till today would I had to move my car and the lights were on again even though they were turned off. I locked up the car and the lights were off, but a couple minutes I later I looked outside and they were turned on and then turned off a couple seconds later. The Pony does not have daytime running lights, I was wondering if maybe the car was having a issue with the headlight switch or even if it is having a computer control issue?

Anyone have anything similar to this happen?

Is this happening when you use the key FOB or when manually locking/unlocking? If it's with the FOB, then I suspect you need to reprogram the alarm system. Check your OM for how-to.

It's doing in when I shut the car off after driving it. The only time it has a issue with the keyfob after it does this and I click the lock button once. If I click the lock button twice the lights stay off.

Keep us posted but I'm still thinking it's a simple alarm system programming issue.

It randomly turned the lights on in middle of the day when I went to check the mail. The lights were on for a couple minutes then turned off.
