2013 Blue Topaz LT
New member
Here's what I noticed.
The car is a 2013 hatch LT, 1.8 engine, 6spd auto.
Assuming that the car has been parked, locked and left undisturbed for a while and preferably in a dark garage for better viewing of the experiement, walk over to your window, look inside by the stick and where the door-lock switch for the rear doors, next to the traction control switch is.
It should be pitch dark... nothing at all, right.
Then using your remote, unlock and then lock the doors, no need to enter the car nor open the door, just unlock it and then lock it again. No need to touch the ignition either.
Am I the only one that sees the rear door lock pilot light very, very weakly lit (Yes, it's on the Off position too!) and also the P,R,D,M like a glow-in-the-dark but even weaker. These lights remain so for about 10-15 minutes and after that dark and completely off again, the way it should be IMHO.
If you go inside and repeat the "test" by locking and unlocking the doors with the remote then you can observe it even better.
Not overly concerned, maybe just a little circuitry glitchery, hopefully benign but I wanted to share it and see if others see it as well.
Also, if you enter the vehicle from the front passenger door, turn the ignition to aux power only, without starting the engine and then back off and remove the keys, the radio light will remain on for like 15 minutes, no matter what you do, the only way to turn it off is by opening the driver's door...
How "normal" is this?
