So a while back the lady friend and I were sitting in the BS talking without the engine or accessories on. and every 5 minutes or so, the interior accent lighting would flash for less than a second. Since then I have been able to reproduce this. Has anyone else ever noticed?

Hi there! This interior accent lighting concern doesn’t sound like something we want you to experience. Please send us a private message including your VIN and local Ford dealer so we can investigate further. Thanks!

My gear shifter knob has done that before as well! while waiting to go into work probably somewhere around 15-20 min after turning everything off and just sitting

That is what caught my eye, but I've seen the dash backlight do it as well.

My daytime running lights (the horizontal bars on the grill) seems to remain on well after the side markers and tails. I’ve tried adjusting them in the settings to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If runs much longer than 20 minutes you may need to have the headlamp switch diagnosed and replaced if necessary.

I disabled the function with the same result
That’s what I thought .. often that means time to have the headlamp switch diagnosed and replaced if necessary.

However the lights will stay on for several minutes with the following method but pretty sure you aren’t doing this;

some vehicles may have the “HEADLAMP EXIT DELAY” feature: After you switch the ignition off, you can switch the headlamps on by pulling the direction indicator lever toward you. You will hear a short tone. The headlamps will switch off automatically after three minutes with any door open or 30 seconds after the last door has been closed. You can cancel this feature by pulling the direction indicator lever toward you again or switching the ignition on.
