I have a Powerboost 502a and I just noticed when I lock my truck and came back about 5 min later the ambient light near the phone holder and the one that hits the center floor in the rear are still on. Is this a security feature? Anyone else have this?

Mine does too. That is the only ambient light that stays on. It eventually goes off, and has not caused any battery/start up issues so far.

Thanks for confirming. I did go back a few hours later and it was off. Seems odd though, if you have any belongings in the rear floor or front it lights them up a bit. Say if your in a parking lot (I know obvious answer is to store stuff away)

Good point. I won’t my stuff as concealed as possible. I played with the ambient lighting settings and isn’t really see anything that could adjust that particular light. It seems to be all of them or nothing.

Glad I could help!

Is the light on when you DON’T have the FOB in your pocket?
