In the 997.1TT, does the front trunk light stay on when closed but not latched?

The rubber seals keep any light from escaping so I can't tell. I have a battery tender attached for winter storage and don't want to latch the hood in case something fails with the tender and access to the battery is then locked.

 

You can easily disconnect the light. That is what the dealerships will do when they have cars in for repairs for long periods of time.

 

I have the same problem with my refrigerator. Been trying to figure it out for years.


OK, I apologize for being a smart ***.

 

The light will stay on for a period of time but will eventually turn off. Not sure of the time interval, though.

 

Light turns off because of the "Load Switch-off" feature (see the index in your owner's manual) - after about 2 hours...not sure why a dealer wouldn't know about this. You can also arm the car with the hood open and the light will go out in about 20 minutes.

 

stick your cell phone in there with the vid camera running and latch it.

Then watch the video to see if it goes off.

 

I had simply poped out my light and unplugged it.

The plan was to install a little rocker switch next to the light, so that when on, the light turned on and off with the hood,....... and when off, the light stayed off (like when using a charger)

Never knew it went off after 2 hours. That seems like an AWFULLY long time though. Why not 3 minutes?

I'm not a fan of LED's,.. but that seems like the ideal place to put one. The stock light gets really hot after a bit.

I thought the same thing, until this happened to me..
