approximately how long will it does it take for the instrument panel lights to shut off if you open and close the driver side door? not starting car just open and close the door lights go off but interment panel stays on......what relay and location controls the instrument panel.

Thanks

I had 2 problems over the years that caused the battery to go flat. The first was a sticky rear trunk light switch that would sometimes keep the light on. The other was a failed ign switch that kept some circuits active even with key out. Both fixes were cheap and easy once I discovered the problem.

the ing switch is fairly new but i will revisit the trunk circuit......one thing i noticed regarding trunk and hood switch in interior driver side floor never go off i pulled the switches and hand no change in current draw but i do not remember them being on all the time in the past ???

Thanks
