Default Need some help guys.

Need some help. Went to start car the other morning and everything was totally dead. No clicking, nothing. Had it jump started and it fired up. Drove to battery store and had new battery installed. (C5 2001 Vert)
Next morning exact same problem. Had it towed to mechanic and he said all the interior lights were on and that the new battery had drained. He recharged it and said it works fine. How could the interior lights be on when I'm sure they were off? At least there wasn't any light showing that night.

door plunger? do they go out while driving? do you have a door open message? or door open chime? if not sounds like the light delay, turn it off using the options key on the DIC. i dont know how to do it. If you dont have a teenager around you will need to look it up in the owners manual.

Sometimes a sunvisor light will be on (due to a bad switch), it is hard to see in the daylight.
