I've never noticed, but suppose you leave your doors/hatchback/hood opened for viewing, does the interior/hood lights stay on then?

Unplug it - the connector is down by the right side of the radiator.

It does go off on its own, so there is no real reason to do anything.
However, I love those stupid little projects that really solve no issue....so I installed a really cool looking switch on the radiator shroud to solve a non-issue. I had fun anyway.

(not in a show), I usually just have the top off and the hood opened. I know the hood light goes off, since I have a habit of opening the hood when I return, and put her in the garage.

Under Hood Light stays on
We've only owned our 03 AE for three weeks. The under hood light did not work. I finally took a look at it yesterday and found it was unplugged. I plugged it in, opened the door and close it, waited 30 minutes and the under hood light did not go out. Probably why it was unplugged. Were do you purchase the short wiring harness with the switch? Seems it would be the easiest fix.
Thanks

It is very easy to reach the plug to unplug it rather than waiting the 10-15 minutes. It seems like either my wife or myself are always either opening the hatch or a door throughout the day at shows and each time it reactivates the light. Just easier for me to unplug it at the weather pack connection beside the radiator.
