Enabling taillights with DRLs - Problem

[TLO]

What’s the purpose of having your taillights on all the time?
seems like it would make the car behind you think your riding your breaks or getting ready to stop at any moment.

Because in some regions (in Canada), it's the law (that or fully automatic headlights)

UPDATE: Finally got the issue fixed. Apparently this was a software bug in a specific BMS software version. I installed the newest version with FDRS after seeing a Ford service bulletin about this issue and everything works as it should now.

-----------------------

I enabled, via Forscan, to have the taillights enabled when the DRLs are active.

With that setting enabled I am running into the same issue I had when changing the front DRLs to amber, after I turn of the car, the taillights now stay on for 10 minutes (with the amber DRLs the front DRLs stayed on for 10 minutes as well).

Has anyone figured out how to get them to turn off with the car? I get so many people telling me I left my lights on that it is annoying, and I even got paged on a ferry this week to turn my lights off. So the setting is disabled again.
