Timer to turn off interior lights

Jul 27, 2010 5 Replies

I've had it. I awoke this morning to a dead battery in my LS 400 because of a door left ajar. This happens about once a year or so. Is there any way to install a timer to turn off the interior and other accessory lights after some period of time, like 20-30 minutes? Can my Lexus dealership install such a device?


Jesus. My Honda Odyssey even turns off the interior lights after 5 minutes of a door being ajar. But the Lexus LS doesn't?????

This can be done. Find a car stereo shop.

Well, at least mine doesn't. It is 10 years old. Maybe the newer models are better.

I'd never have thought of that. Thanks.

Mine is an 02, 9 years old this September.

The EX models did this; the LX did not.

Lexus does not do things like that. It is not a luxury car. My 06 Ultra package does not have passanger memory settings on the power seats while Neons had them for 10 years or so as I understand it. My kudzu burner does have auto-close doors so it does not leave one open. But of course the trunk is a joke with the close package. Yes, I know they did make a real trunk open/close with the power package for 2010. But I could go on for about 5 full pages of what they did not clear up. Anyway, the answer to your problem is simple - close the doors when you get out! Or get the auto door closers put on. Or buy a truly impressive car like a Neon.

You're right. Dodge built for quality in Mexico.

The Neon was a car everyone looks back on as a piece of fine automotive mexican machinery.
