Default Does the flasher light stay red after you turn car off?

sup all? I noticed that when I turn off my car the hazard light stays a faint red. I was just wondering if I need to take the fuse out and put it back in. I don't want that to eat my battery even though it is a small backlight. So should the red triangle go off or what? Thanks a lot

Hey,
You have the car as myself...a B5. I also thought maybe something was wrong but if you wait a few minutes...it automatically turns off. I think i sat in there timing it once...took somewhere between 5-10 mins...maybe it stays on for emergency purposes like after an accident or something...don't know for sure...but it does turn off by itself.

wow that is sketchy... That makes sense cause I don't remember seeing it when it is dark outside. Ima still check it out to make sure. Thanks a lot

hey another quick question... Do feathered tires tend to have more of a whirling sound at around 40 mph? only at this speed I get this slight tornado sound Thanks

I think it sounds like a capacitor discharging the electronic power that was delivered to the IC.... not sure though but thats what it sounds like

I am in the same boat. The four way flasher in my a4 has been glowing forever even after I turn off and lock the car. I thought it would eventually go off after a few minutes, but it never did. I had flat battery twice already due to this. Please helpp

On my B6 & B7 the hazard warning switch light turns on when you open the door and the interior lights turn on. The interior lights and hazard stay on for about 30 secs after the door closes and then both turn off.

My Flasher inside button is on for some time once I lock the car. I think this is normal

Mine was glowing forever until about three days ago when it fixed itself. I am so confused now..

As I mentioned, I had a flat battery three weeks ago. From then I started to disconnect the negative cable from the car battery just to avoid getting flat battery the next day. I was trying to figure out what had caused the four was flasher switch to glow intermittently even after locking the car for hours.

Surprisingly it stopped glowing about three days ago, and last night I decided to leave the battery connected. This morning the car started fine and no problem... I am suspecting that there is a weak wiring connection somewhere in the car... any suggestion??

thanks
