Rep Power: 291

So I'm all geared up to head out tonight and I get in my car, turn the key and nothing happens...just silence and darkness....I look up at the ceiling and notice that I left my interior light on for the past 5 days while I was away

I'll get a boost later.

Anyone ever do something like that?

Did that once when I went to my friend's cottage. No one around for like 50km each way, no cellphone.
Fortunately her brother just happened to be on the way up the day we were trying to leave, so i got a boost.

Well, anyway, I hope the battery isn't totally drained and I just needs a boost.

MREEZYSMRS, how do you lock keys in your car when you have remote entry???

Yeah how can you possibly lock keys in the car? The driver lock won't even push down if the key is in the ignition. And don't you use keyless anyway?

Leave keys in car. Pull up door handle from outside. push lock down. No, I haven't locked mine in that way but it's possible.

Oh, and shut the door. Wahla locked keys in car.

haha one of the ways you could (if you were really tryin) you would have to pop the hood, put the keys in the car, shut the door lock them with the keyless, then disconnect the battery then close the hood. lol

alot of more work than the above

I was reading that the new Altima's and a few other cars have a protection that will prevent you from completely draining the battery. Somehow it will always have enough juice for you to start it.

As Civicious stated, if you pull the door handle (inside or outside) and lock the doors, you can then close the door and it will remain locked. Thus you can lock your keys in.. Unfortunately I've done this, luckily I've always thought ahead and I have a dummy key (doors no ignition) in my wallet

As for your predictament YUL, at least you knew the reason. Its more a pain when you figure out your alternator went to crap and you've been draining your battery for too long I'd offer you a boost if you still need it ... though I'd need to find my cables first

GM cars have this too. My grand am had it it was call battery run down protection. There was something in the ECU that would read the battery and when it got to low it would turn off the power to lighting systems.

I left my inside light on last night and I had not problems that goodness.
