Dashboard lights up itself

I have this strange behavior of my truck’s dashboard. When I turn off the truck the dashboard goes black as expected, but if I just stay inside and wait for a min or so it will start going into a loop with lights coming up and turning off. It pretty much goes between these three attached screenshots. The difference between the second and third is that there are no lights on the edges on last image.

Am I have some electrical issues or it is some of the modules acting ip?

I believe this is the truck sensing the key fob. My 2021 does the same thing, until I slip my fob into its aluminum case. Yes, I'm one of those that keeps my key in a faraday case :)

Hi there, if you believe the vehicle is not operating as designed, we suggest a visit to your preferred dealership. Feel free to send our team a private message for an extra layer of assistance.

If it constantly repeats that cycle, it’s usually an issue with a module that keeps waking up all other modules. Leaving the key fob in the truck will not do this (or in other words, if leaving the fob in the truck does do this, there is some other issue).

Any suggestions or recommendations for troubleshooting?
 
I had a 16 Rebel that needed an exorcist. Dam thing would wake up at random times and the compressor would run at will. Dead battery was a constant. Very frustrating and gave up after a couple years.
