Default Observation I've made

So my battery was getting weaker and weaker each morning until finally one morning it did not start. So I jumped it and decided to turn off the dome light. There are many recorded incidents on Supra forums of the dome light even though not lit, killing batteries as it draws amp continuosly even on the door setting. I have not had an issue starting the car since I turned it off. It would seem that we could save a few amps by leaving it off as well.

Cool

I always turn everything off!

My worst fear is that I'm running late for work, get to the garage, start the car and realize that not only are my underwear on the outside of my clothes; but my battery died because I left something on uneccessarily!

Thanks for the observation!
