wallsofthecaveVT Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 will be going on a extended camping trip but the plan right now is to arrive late on night 1 and will most likely be raining. My plan is to pop the hatch a cpl degrees (tie it down so doesn't full open) secure a cpl tarps (magnets and rope) and sleep with feet sticking out back.... but only issue/question is I want to be able to turn car off and not have any lights on or any power draining (have a fan so I don't need anything from car except shelter from rain), my original plan was to disconnect the battery under the hood for the whole weekend. is this I viable option to insure my car will start up at end of weekend while being able to have door(s) open all night/long time? I have never owned a hybrid before and don't want car to run off of battery in back and cause damage to it? thank you in advance for any advice I have a 2015 Hybrid if that make any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I think after a while the lights will automatically turn off to keep the battery from running down. :headscratch: Lock the doors with your FOB. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyledamron1 Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 All of my interior lights turn off after awhile. There's also a button on the ceiling to turn them off. The tailgate lights seem to stay on no matter what. Maybe try to see if there's a fuse specifically for those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Now that I think about it the other day I left the tail gate open for an hour or so and the lights were all off. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
