  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I noticed today that the light is always on when my car is running in the cubby hole in the center counsel under the arm rest. Is that normal? I couldn't find a switch anywhere to shut it off.

It's normal. It runs on the instrument lighting circuit.
 
Thanks for the quick reply! I don't know why that bothered me ... just didn't seem right to have the light on when it's closed :)

Cheaper to leave it on. Turing it on by opening would require a switch and wiring. Then you have another part that can break.
 
Plus it is an LED, so you don't have to worry about bulb burnout like incandescents which last a finite amount of time (LEDs just gradually dim over time when used)
