My tail lights sometimes will stay on when I turn car off, and it drains battery; but if I leave it on auto lights it

Hi,

As temporary fix, please unplug the battery from the car when you're leaving it for more than 15 minutes. This should stop it from being drained by your parking lights.

Thank you.

What stays on ? Headlamps ? Tail lights ? brake lights ? etc...

That auto has lots of mini computers to keep everything working. I would try a new battery after leaving the old battery disconnected for an hour. If everything works, run test light to determine if and where there is a drain on the battery.

tail light or BRAKE light ? if brake light replace the switch

according to model, some have courtesy lights system,delay may be bad in switch, make sure where the setting is , but most likely bad switch

try replacing the bulbs and put some electical grease on them before putting them in, could have condensation on them.

PUT TIMER IN TAIL LIGHT AND IT WILL OF ON THAT TIME WHEN U WISH :)

Sounds like you have a parasitic loss somewhere in the electrical system. There is a component that is staying on after you leave the car and it drains the battery.The way to check for this is to get yourself a 12 volt test light from an auto parts store.Pull the fuse for your radio if it has a digital display. Under the hood disconnect the positive battery terminal from the battery.Put the clamp end of the test light to the battery terminal and the other end to the post. If there is a drain the light will be lit.Leave it for ten minutes and see if it is still lit.This allows for things that time out. If it is still on start pulling fuses and have a buddy tell you if the light stays on or goes off. If it goes off, identify what that fuse controls. You will need to pin down the circuit in that area that is causing the problem after that. Keep in mind that one of the worst offenders for this is the rear dome light being left on. That is the first thing I check.

Hi!
There is a problem with the lighting circuit,it could be a wire is going to earth. Check it.

My 2002 did the same thing today and I'm looking for a solution. It has drained my battery twice today. Please advise if you find anything out. [email protected]
