Overhead light stays on?
I left my overhead light (in the upper console) on overnight by mistake and drained the battery! I was surprised that this would not be timed to go out after awhile. Is that the same on your RL?

That seems really strange. My RL is always in the garage overnight, never locked, and my overhead light always shuts off after XX seconds (don't remember exactly how many). That's the way it is set up. You know you can program that yourself... right?

Got it, that's what I thought. I ran a test tonight by pressing the "ON" button and exiting the car. If I didn't lock the car, the "dome" light would stay on past the exterior light auto shutoff timer. I guess it won't eventually shutoff based on your experience. If I locked the car all of the interior lights shutoff right away. I would expect the light to shutoff after an hour or so even without locking, looks like the Acura engineers overlooked this one...
