Why are my internal lights draining my battery?
That’s what indicates that the system can detect the key. I wouldn’t expect the “Malfunction” warnings if that were the issue but.. it’s still worth asking. The internal lights in the car, can drain the battery that quickly. What I tried to explain in my previous answer was, that most internal lights, if not LED are at least 15 – 25 watts.
How to calculate the time it takes for a car battery to drain?
Then divide the amp-hours by the running amperage of the lights and you will get the amount of time in hours it should take to drain completely. This is not how long it would take to make it so the car will no longer start, as starting takes a great deal of power this time would be shorter.
Why are parking lights only on one side?
To the first question, the answer is simple: The lights are there for you to park on one side of a narrow street, presumably in Europe where the cars are designed and built.
Why do the lights stay on when the engine is off?
It may also be a short in the switch but that is not as likely. The retained power relay may be failing or the control module itself may be failing. I typically access the module and see if it will stop supplying power when it times out. If it does not, then the module is bad.
