Headlights coming on when parked

[Idaho Driver]

I have a 2021 Base and when parked, the headlights will come on sometimes. It doesn't matter if they are in auto mode or off mode, they will go to ON mode and I have to physically go move the switch to auto or off again.
Anybody else have this happening? I have searched forum but have not found anything on this.

Caught this same thing happening on my security cameras last week. Bronco was parked for over 5hrs, then the headlights suddenly turned on for almost exactly 10min then turned off. All on their own.

Searching the forum, I see people have had battery drain issues with this, but not finding a solution

You need a new light switch. There is a tsb somewhere.

Hi Bruce! I can look into your Bronco's headlight concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Bronco's VIN?

The linked post shows a bad switch with a stored DTC code for confirmation. I have also seen around here where people will catch an OTA update being automatically installed and the Bronco will wake up to do the installation. Just mentioning it as a possible cause in the event you do not have the DTC code
