Default Mysterious Flashing Headlights

Has anyone ever encountered having the headlights on their 08' JK turn on and off over and over again? The headlights come on for a bout a minute time and then shutting off on their own for several minutes. Each cycle is consistent. I initially thought my son was messing with me. I checked, the lights were turned off and the keys are out of the ignition. (in my hand) And no, the Jeeps name is Old Yeller, not Christine.

Just got a 2007 Rubicon , it started with the lights yesterday. hazards blink twice and the headlights stay on for a bit. same sequence as when you unlock the Jeep with the keyless entry. after closer inspection the jeep is unlocking itself hence the lights. I'm going to try to replace the key fob. Have you had any luck with your issue ?

Most electrical gremlins are either the sign of the battery failing, or, you may need to disconnect the battery for a few minutes.
