Ok, this makes absolutely no sense to me. I dont even see how its possible, but it is... I turn my car off and as normal, the headlights go off and everything seems fine. Then I come back later and the headlights have turned themselves on. Not the foglamps (which are always on with the headlights), but the headlights only. Now mind you, I have the keys out and the alarm set. I get in and there is no dash lights on or anything. The headlights are even in the off position. It happened twice yesterday but to be honest with you, I thought I was just going nuts or something. I tried to busy myself in the garage for a few hours and tried to like catch it doing it, but it didnt. So I blew it off and then went to bed. This morning I go down there and the battery is dead. Like dead, dead. My battery charger wouldnt even jump it. Has anyone ever experienced this sort of possession or have any clue on what it may be?

 

No... neither. turbo timers generally dont stay on long enough to drain the battery.... mostly because it keeps it running Even if it wasnt running when the turbo timer kicked in, enough to completely drain it? I doubt it.



ummmm ok ...

 

Well I figured it out. Turned out to be a bad relay - so i guess my car really was possessed ... by a bad relay!

 

did that about a year ago... the unplugging part anyway.. not the fried part...

 

Heheh I saw the possessed car in action... Very odd indeed.

headlights on with no key in and lights turned on the 'OFF' position

Glad to hear you got it sorted!

She disconnected the Daytime Running Lights a long time ago

That was the first thing I asked when she told me about the problem
