Default My interior clock light won't turn off

hey guys I'm new here and I got an 04 model

so for some reason the interior clock light won't turn off when I shut off the car and it's been killing my battery. Before I would have to start the car every day to keep it alive but now it dies in less than 24 hours.

how do I shut it off?

thanks yo

Vladimir Harkonen here, if you are talking about the courtesy light above the mirror, you can unplug the connector to it.

Are you Paul or Leto ?

Outside air temperature display ?

Anyone have any theories ?

Why not show a picture with just the temperature light on?
Have you played with instrument display as the mileage looks very low? Unbelievably low actually.

that's not my car. I'm away from my car so I screenshotted a random crossfire dashboard and circle the light I'm talking about. And the car is dead right now so all the lights are off anyways.

I can not find any reason that light would come on or be on ,independently of the other dash lights. You could take apart the dash an just remove that bulb, but that's not solving the problem. Me, I would remove the dash to see where it was getting power from, when off. My best guess, the light switch , but that still doesn't explain why the others are not illuminating at the same time..

OK... few more questions. Can you , while running , with the lights on , brighten an dim the instrument cluster? Can you clear the trip milage? Can you adjust the time? Does the temp display, close to correct?

if I turn on the head lights all the lights on the instrument cluster go on. My trip mileage doesn't clear unless the car dies. I can't adjust the time but the temp display is kinda close.
