    The footwell lights in my 2011 Gen 3 aren’t tuning off.

    It’s been over 10 minutes and they're still on. As is the light behind the power button.

    The lights in the buttons on the doors turned off as usual, but the footwell lights are still on.

    Is this going to drain the battery??

    God damn it. It was just that one door was slightly ajar.

    Far out. I was super stressed for about 25 minutes.

    I’m so glad it was easily sorted. Man, what a relief.

    Something I've got into a habit of doing after parking in garage: stand at back and sight down the sides, looking for telltale door ajar.

    When you arm the car alarm doesn’t it not arm if a door is ajar like most cars?
