Remote door locks not working




So, I went and sat in my car without it running. I had the keys in my hand and I was clicking on the remote fob to see if I heard anything. Then, I noticed something. There was an interior light on. Not the normal overhead light but the little pinhole light that lights up your cup holders while driving. Normally this shouldn’t be on when car is not running but it was. Could it be that I had a battery bank plugged into my cigarette lighter that was causing some issue. As soon I unplugged the battery bank, the remote locks started working .

For some reason my car “thought” it was running. When the car was off, the battery bank was giving power to car’s electronics. Just enough juice to make it “think” it was running. Obviously, when the car is running, the remote locks do not work.

I wonder if anyone else has had this issue?
