5 min delay timer circuit for the trunk light
where to buy 5 min delay timer circuit for the trunk light? My wife keeps leaving the trunk open and I am sick and tired recharging the battery.
Is building one the only option? Thanks

How bad do you need the light in the trunk? Could just remove the bulb.
Alternatively, swap it with an LED. I left my trunk open all night once, started perfectly fine the next morning.

there's a bunch of "programmable" in-line times on amazon. By programmable, you can set them to whatever time you want. Some, you'll have to figure out your own enclosure for it. some are self-contained.
Here's a self-contained one, 0.1s to 9999hr adjustable
definitely look at the LED route though. Not all LED bulbs are created equal, I should add, with regards to brightness/usable light, at least. Want better visibility, stick with something with a warmer color temperature (3000K is straight up amber/yellow, 4000-4500K-ish will give you a slightly yellower than sunlight color, 5000K-5500K will give you natural sunlight color, 6000k and up, you start getting blue hues). Just to add to what @BrotatoChip said, I left my map lights on all night once. Car started up just fine. Here's what I'm using for my map/dome/cargo lights. They're stupid bright for the overhead lights. However, the way the cargo light is oriented in the cargo area of my hatch, I wanna go with something different for better light usage
