Why didn’t the battery die?

Hmmm,

*I left the lights on all day today.

*They were in the on position; not the automatic setting.

*I beeped the truck and walked into work at 8:30AM and did not return to the truck until 6:30PM.


*Beeped the truck to unlock it, opened the door and the lights were chiming at me.

*Darn thing started right up?

Does the F150 have a system that automatically shuts the lights off after a designated amount of time; even when in the “ON” position? I browsed the manual and did not see any reference to this topic.

Any thoughts?

Yep, sure does. Awesome, isn't it?

Well, well, well, that is pretty cool.

I have not made this kind of mistake for 10 plus years, but it sure is nice to know that when you do...Ford has your back.

Any idea how long it takes for it to shut off? I repeated the same steps when I got home and the shut off time can not be too short.

I believe it is around the 10 minute mark. Same with the radio turn off when you turn off the truck and don't open the door. It'll keep playing for 10 minutes or so, then shut off.
