trunk

[Alan Spitz]

Hi group,

I have a 2003 ES-300.

I am in the habit of keepong my headlights on. When i turn off the
engine the lights in a couple of minutes. But when I open the trunk
the lights stay on (wearing down my battery) until I close the trunk.

Is there a settable timer for this? If not, where is the trunk switch
so I can disable it altogether.

Thanks.

Why don't you just turn off the headlights? Or is that too simple?

Same thing happens if you leave a door open. The assumption is that
you are still doing things that might require external lighting.

Hmmm ... quite a problem .... maybe sit in the car until the lights go
off .... or turn the lights off .... or get out and wait for the
lights to go out before you open the trunk ... but the real question
is why you need to get into the trunk every time you shut the car off.
Has the FBI cleared you of terrorist intent? Do you have dead bodies
you need to dump out of the trunk? Do you live in the trunk? The old
saying that you can live in a car but not drive a house may be coming
into play here I guess, and the ES trunk is bigger than an LS trunk.
Or perhaps you have a crop of recreational plants growing in the trunk
with a grow light which takes a lot of juice from the battery anyway.
Or maybe it is a big keg of beer in the trunk. How would you disguise
the smell if it is a still? Gad ... the possibilities are mind
boggling. Please do let us know why the trunk must be opened each time
the car is shut off.

Recreational plants...... Hummmm! Maybe that Kudzu needs trimming each time
he gets out. It does grow pretty fast, ya know.
