Does it stay on all the time? Or only when you unlock the doors? It should go off once you start the car.

Also, just a tip - don't bag the AU in the AU section! LOL.

Yep, I think it stays on for a while - 30 seconds or a minute. Something like that - I think it goes off when the main interior light goes off. Also, if you leave the interior map lights on, they will go off by themselves after an hour.

The Au is a fantastic Falcon owning numerous fords, through the years I am very impressed so far only having 12k on the AU. I have had EF (still do ) EL, (new)XM V8,XE & numerous early cortinas. (I have sadly enough had many holdens as well, "when I was young & silly".I mean young) Search the forum for your minor problems as mentioned & congrats for buying a real car!!!!!!!!
