Interior in 'door' mode somehow draining battery despite bulb not illuminating?
Hi - hoping you could point me towards common knowledge on my 1987 3.2
My 2 interior lights function as follows:
- Driver's side - usually set in middle 'off' position but rocked to either left or right positions bulb does not illuminate.
- Passenger's side - usually set in middle 'off' position. Rocked to one side it will turn ON regardless of door- but in the other side position doesn't illuminate.
On friday I manually turned on - as I was handing my son takeout to hold in his lap but confirmed the door setting didn't work. Asked him to shut the light off - he then pressed past the middle position to the opposite position.
Came out yestrday to a completely dead battery. (Battery is a brand new Odyssey 925 AGM, always on a tender except for this weekend.
Questions:
1) Are there 2 bulbs in each interior light one for 'on' and one for 'door?'
2) Would a situation make sense where even w/ the bulb not illuminating it is causing this much parasitic loss to kill a battery in 4 days?
3) If not - where do I begin to figure out how the only 'new' situation - having the passenger side flipped out of the middle position seems to correlate w/ the battery dying completely w/ out anything illuminated in the car?
4) Are there LED replacement bulbs for both the interior lights as well as frunk light so in the case the frunk pressure switch fails I will be less likely to drain the battery vs the incandescent bulbs?
Thanks so much!
