Check Gauges & Radio Turning On After Truck Is Locked
After turning the truck off and locking it with the key fob, within about 10 minutes (sometimes) the radio will turn on and/or the check gauges message will show along with the door chime chiming.
If it's the radio that turns on, as soon as the driver's door is opened it will turn off.
If the truck hasn't been started in a couple of days the battery will be dead. But, driving it on a regular basis (once or twice a day) seems to keep it charged.
Any ideas what could be going on?
TRUCK INFO: 2008 F-150 4x4 XLT Super Cab, 5.4 liter, Automatic Transmission, 65k Miles
Truck was imported from Canada, now it lives with us in Ohio
Factory Radio and no after market parts added that I'm aware of (We're the 2nd Owner)

Opening the door does turn off the radio which leads me to believe it's not the driver's door switch.
The radio, check gauges message, and chime come on after I've left the vehicle and it is turned off, locked, and the radio and headlights have already shut off by delay or opening the door.
Any other thoughts? This seems like a strange one
