Why does my headlights come on when my ignition is off and the car is locked
What is your question?
For the past few weeks, I've been having an issue with my car not having any power to it. I have had to require a lot of jump offs in order to even move my car. Just recently l, I noticed that my headlights would come on on my when the ignition was completely off and the doors were locked. I would be in my home and look out the window to see that my headlights would be off for no apparent reason. Im not quite sure why the keep coming on but am starting to believe this could be the reason my why car has limited to no power when it comes time for me to attempt to crank my car.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Not really sure
How long has your 2012 Dodge Caliber had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2012 Dodge Caliber. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Hello, there is a feature with "auto lamps" (if equipped) that allow the lights to stay on for a set period of time (that you can change in the settings) after leaving the vehicle. But this usually is for a maximum of 60 seconds.
If your lights are turned "off" and they are staying on, then testing has to be performed with the modules that control vehicle lighting as well as the wiring and switches of the vehicle.
If you have an aftermarket alarm of any kind, this could be causing some issues as well.
First check to see the settings and that the lights are "off" and not on "auto lamp" to see if the problem resolves.
