Default Electrical Issues

2008 Dodge Ram 1500 180,000 miles electronic 4x4 hubs.
Has anyone had an issue with the electronic 4x4 hubs locking and unlocking when using the key fob to unlock the doors or randomly when the key is on?

Interesting, how did you notice that was happening?
(I am new to Ram [about a month with my rwd 5.7] just curious about all the workings of these vehicles, like a sponge)

If it's LED, then that's not abnormal. When I changed the third brake light to an LED one, there were a couple of LEDs that were dimly lit so I went back to the old one.

It is LED and she didn’t drive it over the weekend and killed her battery would those lights being on be the cause of it?

LEDs don't draw that much power, but when prolonged they still can kill a battery.
