I had the same problem, however i couldn't lock the car, and if i did, it would just unlock itself in the middle of the night and turn the lights on. I took it to ford under warranty nd they said it was the wiring behind the dash. Maybe just make sure there are no short circuits anywhere???
good luck,
Matt |

pull the interior fuse next time! 
umm yes sounds like a wiring problem in that circut as fakertaker has suggested the au lights should autodim after 15 seconds i think
maybe the BEM is at fault |

well i guess it could be a faulty bem or maybe a door switch constantly earthed, or maybe the interior light switch is on!  |

| I'd be looking at all the door switched...sounds like one of them may be rooted. Thats the easiest thing I guess. |

| Yeah I have left my the interior light switch on the headlight panel on a few times. It was OK in the morning though when I realised what I had done. Freaks you out at first as you tend to think someone has broken in to your car somehow. |
