Car show tomorrow/Hatchback open, will lights eventually go out?
I am going to a car show tomorrow and I made a new display with my cars stats on it that I plan on putting in the cargo area with the hatchback open. Will the interior lights eventually go out, or is there an easy bypass to turn those out. I don't want those lights on all day.

As they said they will go out but everytime you open a hatch or hood or doors they will come back on. I usually first crack the hood and hatch first when I'm cleaning up at a show to avoid that.

Yes! They will.
I had the same concern at my first show so I gave it the ol' test the day before and all went out
Thanks,Matt

Yes, in fact, ANY current draw will "automagically" shut off after 15 minutes (unless the ignition is on) to save battery life....Same if you leave a door open....

The C5's have a pretty good priority circuit, and usually start shutting stuff down in 10-15 minutes to save the battery.
