(Oh, and I found the tailgate dome light that had been left on!) Kept it running for an hour or so and did some errands. It has been firing up better than usual for three days. I wonder how long that light had been on?
We have LEDs for all interior lights in our cars. I found I'd left my dome light on over a weekend recently, but it fired right up Monday morning.
