Interior Light Turning On Randomly Out of Nowhere
This is kind of a weird question, but has anyone experienced their interior light turn-on out of nowhere?
Here's a little background and the situation...
I rarely drive my car. Maybe once a week or sometimes once every other week. I bought a beater as my daily driver.
After not using my car for about 4 days, it's been sitting outside... parked... untouched... locked.
I came home around 8pm last night. As usual, I glanced at my car to see if all was good. And everything seemed normal. Half an hour later, I happened to glance outside my window and noticed that my interior light was on. Specifically, the "reading light" underneath the rear view mirror.
I went outside to the car and thought to myself... "did I not see that earlier when I came home? Maybe it's been on all this time when I put up the sunshade 4 days ago. Perhaps I accidentally pressed something." As i walked to the car, i unlocked it with the remote, then the light turned off. I took a look inside, and everything was off... the way it should be. The way it always is.
Then tonight, the same exact thing happened. I don't really know what would cause the light to turn-on at a random moment on its own. No one touches the car but me.
I thought I'd ask in case someone happens to know what may have caused this to happen.
Main battery is a couple months old (OEM), fuses seem good.
