Internal lights

[NancysVera]

Hello, can anyone help me understand how to turn off the cabin lights when the doors or boot is open when working for a period of time to stop the battery running down.   I’ve taken the 3rd row of seats out and created a raised dog bed.   Usually when you spend a period of time with a door or boot open a car will just fade the lights til they go off but my Vellfire doesn’t .  I’ve had to have a brand new battery whilst on holiday last year as the car just wouldn’t start so am a bit nervous about it,  thanks

On the roof in between the driver and passenger seats is a switch for internal lighting. You can have lights set to off, doors open/closed, and on all the time.

 

Set it to "off'.

 

The lights for the rear most lights are turned on and off manually. Also, check that any lights haven't been left manually on at the per-light switch.

 

Report back on how this works for you, in case you have had someone fiddle with your wiring, or you have some other problem.

Hello,  thank you yes this works.

 

it would seem that the lights on the doors remain on if you leave the doors open?   I haven’t managed to figure out if there is a way of turning these off. 
 

I did have a problem with the repeater indicator and my mechanic discovered that the wiring had been fiddled with , so I wasn’t sure if this was the same

 

thank you for all your help
