Why is dash illuminated?
The truck is off and sitting in the driveway, as it has been for hours I've locked it via the door button and via the remote. However, the dash is still very dimly illuminated but without any images or ext, just a blank lightly glowing screen. Why is it doing that? I'm hoping the battery isn't kaput in the morning, hahaha.
1/19/23 *Update* I've tried suggestions in this thread. Locking the truck by door button and by remote. Tried opening / closing driver's side door (Kidastra's suggestion). Even tried getting into truck, turning it on, letting it idle a few moments, then turning it off. Nope, still have a blank dash glow.
1/20/23 *Newest Update* Battery was not dead this morning. The dash is not glowing tonight. I will snap and post a photo next time I catch it doing this. Hopefully it was a 1x glitch.

Maybe an update, how do I find out what my current version is and when most recently updated? It didn't go dormant, it was still on in the morning, 10 hours after I first noticed it and tried to get it stopped. Good thought though, thanks.
Edit: I can also check and see if any codes are present (provided your vehicle is linked to your Fordpass )
