Does Engine Bay Light Turn Off Automatically?
If I leave the engine bay cover open the light does not seem to turn off. Does it time out and turn off after a certain amount of time?

I keep a trickle charger on the car when not driven for extended periods.

I don't want to drain the battery with the engine bay light.

Thanks,
Adam

No it does not and get this when the engine cover is open the trunk light is also on even if the trunk is closed. They are on the same circuit

On the 996, both the trunk light and the engine compartment light turns off after a few hours. Surprised that it doesn't in the Turbo.

Mine turns off after a while. Not sure how long, however.

Interesting. I left my engine bay open and came back an hour later and it was still on.
