If that's even what they're called... I'm referring to the small led's in the interior door handle pulls and the lighting on the seat memory buttons.

I noticed that if I shut the door and don't lock it, they tend to stay on for some time. However, if I lock it, they go right off.

The reason I'm asking is that I often keep my car in the garage and I typically don't lock it up. It usually sits too long and then the car turns the alarm remote off, so it's easier just to leave it unlocked.

Anyway, I had a dead battery today and the battery is about a year old. I also keep the battery on the Porsche tender, so I shouldn't be having these issues.

I guess I'm wondering just how long these lights stay on for and if that could have wore my battery out.

 

I think about 20 min.

 

Mine stay on for over an hour. I think closer to two hours and then shut off.

 

Theyre just LED and shouldnt draw enough to kill the battery (think about all the cars with blinking LED alarm's).

 

Sit out in your garage and find out.

an hour? are you sure?

 

Simple solution!

 

Before you sit in your garage grab a box of donuts.

and a case of Beer!

I notice they stay on for a long time too, but they're just LED's

 

What is this?? Some luxury that MY99s don't get?

 

donuts and beer? he'll feel like he's on patrol

 

Donuts and beer just sounds wrong. Pizza and beer would be more like it.

If you have your car on a battery tender, those lights, if they are LEDs (I don't think I have those on my '99), should not drain the battery. I can't imagine that the current draw of the LEDs would exceed that of the battery tender's ability to supply current.

 

+ 2 here, should be fun

 

i think that the spider monkeys are playing games with you

 

You got it all wrong.... We're the new era of law enforcement. It's Starbucks and lemon scones now
