Question Internal Light

Hello Guys and Girls hahaha corny,

today i came back home and i turn off the car and lock the door with the remote so the light as usually dim down and turn off, so i am just looking deeper there was a tiny light that is still on like a very dim light, so i open the car and i remove the plastic form the roof light and boom, yes i was right there is a tiny light there so i try to remove few fuse to check and when i remove the BCM fuse it will turn off, so any way, i put the fuse back and waited for around 10 min suddenly the dim light turn off, so i try it over and over every time it need on top of the normal light turn off the tiny light need another 10 min.

so why is the tiny light there anyway ? it should when the light dim that is it off ? any one had this issue ?

Thanks
Wael

Did anyone install any LED interior lights possibly before you bought it?

Likely an LED. There is oftentimes a tiny bit of current "leakage" in vehicles; with an incandescent bulb, it's not enough to light up, but LEDs take very little current, so they may actually light up just a tiny bit. My H3 (interior LEDs) occasionally does it as well.

You are correct. I replaced all my ceiling lights in my home with led flush mount LEDs. Occasionally, I see a glow when switched off. There's no voltage supplied after switched off, so nothing to worry about.

Question







Hey Guys

Thanks For the reply, yes i think @650Hawk correct since i replaced it, i saw that while before in the original light, i never get to see it, any way just wanted to make sure maybe my battery will lose power, yesterday i remove the BCM cable and all the lights went off, but before i do that, i remove the fuse number 56 Front Turn Signal, Hazard Signal and i realised that the dim light will become dimmer even when i remove that fuse, but the light will still be there,

I was thinking its a short, but i checked everything, and there is nothing,

maybe the LED vs the original yellow light, Led are like this, haha when u remove the fuse 56 all the light in the car wont work, hahaha so i had to put it back,

Here is some attached picture,

The dim light will stay only for like 5 to 10 min and it will turn off, maybe that is the generated power in the car, until its gone the light will stay dim, the light is only in the driver and passenger seat below light and the internal back light,

if i remove the back light, the one on the front roof in driver side it will light hahah.

Could be poor quality LED replacement lights. I replaced ALL my interior lights with LED's and do not have a problem.
