parking lights flash 3 times long after leaving and locking the truck

[typhoon186]

I have noticed after leaving and locking the truck, some half hour later or more the parking lights flash 3 times.  Anyone know why?  My keys are on the desk at the far end of the house.

after some research, I think it's because I have a trailer wiring harness adapter installed (so my camera activates with turn signals)  So the truck is checking to see if a trailer is still connected.  Maybe?

I dont see a way to turn that feature off. i have it listed as an accessory

Do you have the trailer theft alarm enabled in the radio? I'm not sure if that feature flashes the lights but it will detect when someone unplugs the trailer from the truck and sound the alarm.

Yep, trailer theft.  Anything tied into that circuit can cause it, not just trailers.

Hey having a similar issue. I'm getting 4 deeps when I shut it down which it's never done; but I did have a flat and the spare is on it now so maybe it's something to do with the truck reminding me that there's no spare or something is not connected after taking it out..??.. (Jim) Are all your tires and spare intact?

Beeps or light flashes?  Your issue is probably the tire fill alert because of the spare.
