Hello,

I'm frustrated that the battery keeps draining because I often leave some devices turned on when I lock the car.

Is it possible to configure the vehicle's electrical system in my Audi B4 so that when the car is locked, all consumers, including the parking light, are completely turned off?

Best regards,
Thomas.

No, in that car, the lighting and other functions are not yet controlled by a central control unit (ECU). Therefore, when the corresponding switch is closed, the circuit is active.

That would not be legal. It's also not much use if you forget to icon_wink.gif.

Possibly, an additional warning buzzer could be installed that beeps when the ignition is off and the lights are on. icon_idea.gif

Hello everyone!

A warning buzzer is installed and reliably goes off when the parking/boundary light is on, the ignition key is removed, AND the driver's door is open.
In the latter case, the door lock, or more specifically, its microswitch, is usually broken, and as a result, the horn will no longer work. icon_rolleyes.gif

Best regards from Munich!
