Front Side Lights Won't Turn Off
 
New member here, I recently installed illuminated door sills on my 14 is350. Now, my front side marker lights wont turn off. i checked all my wiring and everything is good. I have no idea what could be causing this. I'm worried about m battery draining.

Any thoughts on what it could be?

Turns out, the lights do turn off after several minutes. I'm not sure if they've always done that or not, but I guess everything is ok.

Did you try pressing the lock button twice after getting out of the car? Or... what did you try? :)

Yeah, I pressed lock twice, but they stay on. They turn off after about 15 or 20 min.

15 to 20 min? that's not normal

Would it be covered under warranty if I have the dealer look at it?

I didn't think it was normal, but I'm glad that they do shut off.

You have a loop somewhere, after a few minutes the car automatically turn off all the lights even if it is the inside lights of the cabin are on, i honestly don't know anything about wiring on cars if i had i would try to help, sorry mate

a circuit. those lights are being fed power from something else. feedback. sounds like a problem with the lights you installed.

I'll check my wiring again and disconnect the door sills and see if it still does it. The door sills are oem from lexus and I followed the instructions.

Are there any long term effects of the lights staying on for 15 min.? Will it cause any further problems down the road?
