What may have happened is it couldn't hold a charge much at all - do try and charge it if newer or charge any used now for further testing. Guess: You mean lights as in "interior" lights or something else - headlights?? Interior lights might be delayed when door opened type thing and possibly when battery is low enough the timer can't even shut off! T Note: Fully discharged batteries take HIT just from being run down when newer and can kill a marginal one. Discharged batteries can also freeze and crack if well below the freezing point of water, T smwcj5 New User Feb 2, 2009, 2:38 AM Post #3 of 4 (1130 views) Re: 03 silhouette dead elec Sign In battery was original switched by lights staying the running lights cant turn them off. discounted battery until more suggestions thanks smwcj5 Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 2, 2009, 7:08 AM Post #4 of 4 (1125 views) Re: 03 silhouette dead elec Sign In There's no point in testing or checking anything until a known good, fully charged battery is in place. Check the battery if you wish or get a new one and charge it too before installation, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
