Tiny light on rear view mirror always on??
Somehow I just noticed a small circular light in front of the homelink on the rear view mirror. I noticed it stays on after turning the car off and sorta lights up a small portion of the center console.

Is this normal? I dont wanna wake up and the battery be dead especially on New Years! It amazes me if this always on as I've never noticed.

I think some have called this a courtesy light but no luck in the search...hope I get help on a night like tonight !

I don't think it should take that long to go off. Mine stays on after the interior lights dim but goes off after a couple of minutes.
