the little square panel that shows the mileage and trip etc. Noticed there when walking past the car it’s still lit up, but wife parked and locked car hours ago. Tried starting, checking everything switched off, doors shut etc. Still on after 10 mins – any ideas ?

hope it won’t flatten battery – still under warranty for 2 months…

Googling it apparently they can stay on for up to an hour. There is also a mention that there there was a software update to cure the time delay problem so a phonecall or trip to your Ford main stealer…

many thanks for that Neil, appreciated. cheers

My 07 focus does that too probably nothing to worry about. Ive not had any battery problems with it and I have owned it from new.
