Hi all,
Did some research on the forum. Couldn't really find a clear answer and also couldn't clearly find an answer in my owner manual.
I have a 2015 cx5 and my son left one of the rear map lights on 4 days ago and we didn't notice. We don't drive much these days...
I would assume they would turn off after a while with the settings in the infotainment setting menu and the front button set to never turn the light on but today, went to check the car and the battery was completely flat.
Are the rear map lights not on a timer when the car is locked and fully off? Any pointers on how to either change the lights to LEDs that won't drain the battery as much or a mod that can be done so they turn off when the car is off?
Thanks!
PS: I hope this is considered an accessory question.
