The other day I parked my truck in my garage and notice that once the ignition was off, the DRL on the driver side was flickering rapidly. This went away after 24 hours.

Then again tonight, same thing, but this time it has a slow flicker even when the vehicle has seen no activity (doors closed more than 30 seconds).

Is this symptomatic of an electrical issue? Bad headlight assembly? Water damage? Has anyone had any similar issues?

IThanks.

There is a TSB or recall related to flickering of lights. I'm not sure if it's when the truck is on or off, but it's a software update fix. Not sure if it's applicable to your truck, but a trip to the dealer is likely in order.

2022 lariat 502A, 5.0L. Recall. Service picked up my truck, did the recall, and returned it to me same day. There are also two other recalls, wiper motor and rear axle harness. They did those in my driveway on another day.

This started happening on my passenger light. Everytime I walk near the truck the lights turn on and the passenger DRL flashes...
Is this a Forscan fix or does it have to be Ford (FDRS) fix?
If Forscan, what is the change needed to up from 200 to 400 please?
