How do you Switch OFF the Puddle Lights??

[oskar27]

Every time I open/close any door in my 2016 Titanium the puddle lights and front/back running lights come ON and stay ON for about 1 minute. I have no need for either and to conserve battery juice I want to turn them OFF but I see nothing related in the owners manual neither on the left vehicle information display.

 

Is there a way to do it?

No. Outside of using ForScan you can't turn them off. The wiring for the puddle lights can easily be disconnected if you want.

The amount of battery juice they consumer relative to all the other stuff going on in the car is pretty minimal.  Not really worth worrying about.

Thank you guys, there are not only the 2 puddle lights, there are also 2 in the front and another 2 at the back and they stay ON for at least 6 minutes! I know the LED’s don’t consume tons of juice but in the winter I always do odds and ends in my car and it’s a pain every time I open a door them darn lights have to stay ON for so long. Forscan? Not ready for it yet but I may ask my dealer to see if he can do that for me.

Press the lock button on the outside handle or on the key fob.
