2023 F-150 Lightning Lariat ER
Anyone else ever notice infrared lights flashing in the interior? I moved my Lighting to a spot covered by an infrared security camera and noticed a bunch of flashing in the interior in the security footage. It was triggering alerts in my home security system. Seems to be related to the modem being active as I can force it to start flashing by refreshing the page in the FordPass app. The flashing lasts around 70 seconds. Is all this flashing really necessary? Seems like a waste of battery power, but I guess having a visual confirmation that some communication is going on could be useful someday.

EDIT: I guess I should have used the Search feature of this site before posting. Seems like this is a known condition.

I see tons of IR activity at times too on my security cams and had to disable laser detection on my escort radar detector when running as that just went nuts.

Old news. Mach-E does it too. Modules awaken at times.
