Hey everyone!

Can someone refresh my memory…?

On a ‘97, does the green light up ring around the key ignition time out? After doing a bunch of work this weekend I’ve noticed mine stays on.

Worried that it might cause a parasitic drain.

Thoughts?


Thanks in advance.
 
That's a common problem IIRC, something to do with a failing zener diode in the control box. I actually added the ignition ring light to my 80 as it wasn't included on the base models, but I just hard-wired mine to turn on when the doors are open rather than getting too fancy.
 
Yes, it is supposed to time out.

the ignition key cylinder light relay box in the passenger kick panel controls it
