Ghosts or gremlins?

My 26 has two switches near the door. One for the step light and the other for the "scare" light.
I never turn them on. (that I know of).
Last trip, in the morning I noticed they were on, Hummmmm.... I must have bumped them or the dog did.
When I got home in the dark, I noticed they were on again. Arrrrgguuuhhh! Sorry, all the vehicles that endured that while I passed you.
They're not in a location that's easy to bump.
Do I have spirits?

Hi

Are they at "dog height?" .....

Bumping with "stuff" while loading and unloading is another thing to consider.

Since it's cold, snagging them with a hanging jacket would also be a reasonable guess.

Add them to your pre-flight checklist, making sure they are off. If they still come on, I'd say something is hitting them. Are you storing anything near them that could fall/move and turn them on?
