Unlock open driver door sometimes no interior lights

[Loudpa]

2026 Ranger XLT
I havn't driven in a few days and noticed the following that I am trying to understand why?
On 3/4 and 3/5 I unlocked drivers door via remote, open door and interior lights come on along with dash and center display.
Lock vehicle
But on 3/8 I repeat the above and no interior nor dash console come on.
I've notice this before and what seems to correct the issue is that I start or turn the key to accessory position.
Some sort of battry saving logic?
PS: Put battery on trickle charger and it fully charged within 5 min. so battery charged fully.

Yes this is normal. The truck will go into sleep mode if not driven for a few days - this saves the battery so it’s able to start again. The only way to reset sleep mode is to start the engine, which is why charging the battery isn’t doing anything

Interesting as I would have figured sleep mode if voltage fell below threshold and after say a week.
Thanks
