Ben hur panel still lit up when car locked
Image of Ben Hur with power off but display active
Hi All I noticed last night when i shut down the engine and opened the car door on my 05 GT (with a ben hur unit fitted in 2018) that whilst the Kenwood stereo shut off the lower display panel with AC fan settings stayed lit up. I locked the car and set the alarm and still it stayed on. I checked it this morning and the red lights on the door tops are flashing and the doors are locked but i can still see the panel is on inside the car?? I also double checked the interior light and it dims and goes out when i close the door. Any ideas??

Latest Update. The Unit is "locked" no buttons work and even with the radio on their is no volume. Looks like i will need to do a hard reset by either finding a fuse to remove or disconnecting the battery.

It has been fitted since late 2018 so around 10 months now! I have to admit i bought it second hand from someone who sold a low mileage car and the new owner wanted it back original. Not had any trouble with it until i noticed it still on this morning. All fine when i parked up last night!

Fuse pulled and all is back to normal now! Everything is set to off on the Ben Hur lighting delay etc so i will leave it like that for now. The only lights that stayed on were the mirror lamps as before. I don't think i have had the headlamp delay since the unit was fitted so suspect it has been off all the time. Any all back to normal for now thank you.

A few questions ...
1. Are the main lights ie headlights on a timer & when you use the fob does the lights come on at night.
2. While sat in the car, turn on the engine do not which the light on keep them in the off position, then turn on the lights the Ben-Hur should light up, while the engine is running turn off the lights keep your eyes on the Ben-Hur, does it flash bright before going off.
3. While the engine is running in day time, with no lights on, ie side or head lights is the Ben-Hur lite up.
Let me know as this is important info I need ...

2) When you switch between lights on and lights off the Ben hur changes. The brightness of the central panel changes high lights off dimmer lights on. Also the ac and auto buttons are bright yellow with lights off. When lights are on the remaining buttons light up white.
If there is a flicker at lights out it is the brightness increase did not really note a flicker.
3) daytime the Ben hur is lit as per lights off in question 2.
I have pics of the display day night mode if the above is not enough
