Help?

 

Dealer installed (was it just installed recently?), let "them" figure it out.

Could be: (?)
Bad remote
Bad controller
Bad install job

Sometimes its pretty hard to diagnois over the internet.
Pull the battery out of both your key fob`s, see if its still happening. (if it does, controller likely the problem)
I`ve heard of people storing their extra key fob in their house somewhere only to find something sitting on the remote causing it to start the vehicle whenever they were at home. The clue was, it only happened at home, never an issue away from home... its worth lookin into anyway.

I believe you`ll have to re-install the battery back into the key fob if you want to use your truck.

 

Dealer installed

remote Has lost programming about a year ago and had to be reprogrammed.

Changed the battery in remote last night. This started out of town but we did check 2nd remote still hanging on key nail - have removed that battery just to make sure.

Twice again today--however truck would not crack this morning battery almost dead battery dead--- checked at advance auto was bad! replaced...

has done it once after battery change...

now right headlight out- bump lens and it comes on!

Sounds like short???

 

Headlight issue likely just the bulb, or just a bad connection at the bulb base.

 

I agree, Could be a bad bulb or connection. The batteries in the should be replace once a year.
