We're having a lot of issue with a brand new Transit where the lights keep coming on on their own. Usually in the middle of the night on a camp site which isn't very popular.
Ford have had it twice and "fixed" it but it returns. It only happens after a long run hence when we are away. It's been checked on the drive for a few days and was fine but reoccurred after a trip north.
With the number of Transits out there it must have happened before, anyone any ideas?

Follow home lights?
Is it just after you lock up for the night?
You can change the setting yourself.

I don't think so it's too random. It may be connected to it but not part of it's usual function.
I haven't switched the function off to try as I'm not really looking for a work around on a brand new vehicle but it would be worth knowing if that prevents the problem certainly.
Only seems to happen after a long run and sometimes having sidelights on will stop the headlights coming on but sometimes the headlights come on anyway. There is definitely a fault they just need to find the wretched thing.
