Since I tried connecting an LED hitch cover connected through the 7-pin trailer connection (no longer using) the external front and rear lights stay on for over 10 minutes after I lock (or leave unlocked) and walk away. PaaK not connected and no fob in the vicinity. Any ideas?

Unplug the lights. There are dozens of threads on F-150 forum about NOT doing exactly what you are doing. Lights must be connected to taillight wiring. You also mess up BLIS.

When the truck is on try setting your headlights to AUTO on the dial to the left of the steering wheel on the dashboard. Then turn the truck off and see if it still happens. It’s possible that you just have left your lights on.

I had to buy a radio freq blocking box for my keys. The welcome lights come on whether I have the key fob on me or not. I don't think this is your issue, but could be. Prob more of what RickLightning said. (You can also turn off the welcome light I know, but I like'em :) )

Sorry what do you mean by unplug the lights? I got rid of the LED light hitch cover entirely already and won't go back. How do I reset?

That wasn't clear in your original post.

Rotate headlight knob to off, then back to auto.

For any reason related to the lights? Or for the unrelated reason of worrying about people cloning your fob?

The welcome lights come on whether I have the key fob on me or not.
With it without the fob, this appears to be part of the security system as much as the “welcome.”

with the fob, I believe, the only difference is that placing your hand on the handle will unlock the vehicle

I bought the box because I would see my trucks lights illuminate in the garage when I am sitting in my office (could see on security camera) . The key fob would be no where near me nor being moved.

Is there an option to disable walk-up / hand-on-handle auto-unlock with the keyfob? I do NOT want this; I'd rather unlock only via keyfob button press (or PaaK if I ever get it working).

Related: where can I find the factory door keypad unlock code--I cannot find it anywhere, I may have to call the dealer.

TIA.

Usually on a card with your manual.

The past several days I noticed similar behavior, I tinkered with the number of seconds of delay the courtesy light mode lasts, minimum setting then back to reasonably short delay, this tweak seems to have fixed the issue.

that code number may also be found under the steering wheel area, above the pedals... a sticker/label....as on many previous Ford vehicles.
