Several times over the past I would say six months my parking lights seem to randomly go on overnight. (2013 Sonata). How is this possible? One time I hadn't driven the car at all and it happened. I keep the lights in the on position and they go off when I turn off the ignition and remove the key. Is this even possble? Help!!

Never heard of it happening and I have no guess as to why. I'd put it
in the Auto position and see if that corrects it.

That happens on my 06. In my case the car thinks there is still a key
in the ignition. The little contact piece of metal in my car's key slot
is either worn out or sticky, so when parking long term, like at the
airport, I make sure I turn the lights to OFF. It's been like that for
years. Suppose I could fix it but I just don't feel like it.
