Why does the trunk lid not open on a Prius?
It’s made infuriating when you discover that your trunk lid doesn’t open because that little black button that pops it up is battery operated.

What happens if you leave the trunk light on for too long?
It won’t “kill” the battery per-se but you definitely should get a battery re-charger and charge that sucker because your car’s alternator won’t be able to do it. The car’s alternator is a battery maintainer, not a charger. If you have a Battery Saver circuit, then most likely the trunk light will be turned off after 30-45 minutes.
