Headlights stay on after truck is off Edge juice

Hey guys,
I really need help with this one....
Today I was driving and decided to set my turbo timer on my edge juice attitude to auto shut truck off at a certain temp. So I noticed that my headlights now come on after about a minute after when I shut my truck off.
I also have a autostart remote starter/alarm combo and not sure if this is the problem or not.

The headlights will just stay on and not shut off. Seems like the Edge turbo timer is thinking the truck is still running and keeping the lights on ??
Does anyone know what is going on here ?? I am completely lost here and this is pissing me off. I have the two turbo timer wires tapped in the correct location #28 and #35 as per the Edge manual and the red wire to the #26 fuse.

Please help if you can

Thanks

I would try working backwards. I would undo what you did with the edge, and see if it goes away. Just a thought.

check the overhead and see if your headlight delay is turned on. if it is, it may be that the turbo timer is messing with the headlight delay in the computer.

Just leave them on. The truck is smart enough to turn them off after about 10 min.

No it actually isn't smart enough...the lights will stay on.
It is the Edge thinking the vehicle is still running or something

Since you're in Canada you have DRL's don't you? I don't have a wiring diagram for a unit with DRL's so I don't know how they're powered.

Fuse 28 on the USA units feed the ECM and a bunch of other stuff. I bet it feeds the DRL's too. If so that could be your problem.

the truck I bought in Chicago and yes I am in Canada and had to get DRL enabled at dealer
Fuse 28 is tapped by one of the yellow wires on the Edge turbo timer, when I remove it the light shut off.
Anyways I called Edge customer service and they figure problem with the box and needs a update. What great customer service they have by the way. I am going to dealer in town today where I got the Edge and hopefully they will swap boxes for me and should take care of things.....

Update:
After another call with Edge tech support they admitted that it is a known issue. Something went bad on circuit board and they are sending a updated replacement version box to me today.
Edge has great customer service......
So for anyone having the same issue after using the turbo timer feature and your headlights permanently stay on after the truck is off you need your box updated.
