Default Little light on, in dash

I have a light on in the dash, looks like a red car with doors open. It making my battery go dead. Both doors are closed. What could this be?
Thanks

Don't feel bad, I did the same thing. You really gotta almost slam the trunk shut.

I think I would be looking at something else. I wouldn't think leaving the trunk open would draw that much from the battery to make it go dead. Just my opinion.

I also have left the trunk open when I thought I had closed it with sufficient force. The reality is if the trunk is left open there are two wedge bulbs in there that will drain your battery in 4 days and the car might not start.

It's the weather's fault!!! lol If it hadn't been raining all week you would have been out showin' off your new wheels and listening to your mufflerless exhaust, just waiting for the new system to be built.

Bacardi. I'm glad that my battery didn't go dead with the two days I sat in the trunk hooking up the navtool and rear camera. lol Oh! yeah I forgot I had the battery disconnected. In the future I might try the muffler delete. I guess I should go to the thread with the audio.
