Default THE GHOSTLY LIGHTS

I was setting out in my yard the other day working on my troy built mower. When I noticed my headlites and all my doom lites just all of a sudden come on. No one was in or the car has not been touched for days. Has anyone ever noticed there cayenne doing this? 2006 CTTS. They where on for about 45 seconds but my battery was completely dead the weekend before.

I'd be worried if my doom lights came on.

These vehicles persistently exhibit bizarre behavior if the battery is low. I had different but equally baffling behavior before I got mine all up and kept up by regular use.

It is a new Optima battery in there. I do know the driver door trigger sticks sometime but that does a different thing. So im guessing from all the jokes noone else has seen this happen ??

When you open the drivers door the fuel pump runs for a couple of seconds to prime the fuel system.

Yes, I now this there Hahnmgh63. Also the car sets in the garage with the alarm off. I know in the owners manual they say it can effect the door opener the remote that is. You think the door opener is effecting the headlites??

Being that it is a CTTS I imagine it is well optioned. Do you have Keyless entry? If so, do you keep the Keyfobs a distance from the car when it's in the garage. They will keep contact with the pig when within range (I think the manual mentions something about this). I make sure I take mine in the house so they're at least 40' away. Just a thought?
