Is the rear light supposed to turn off automatically after about 10-15 minutes? Mine (annoyingly) keeps turning itself off.

No. The light should stay on until you turn it off. Mine has stayed on for hours at a time.

Hi, I don't know that it's designed to auto-turn-off, however, mine does that as well. Very annoying indeed!

I would not think so. They could either be faulty or maybe you don't have them set right. You can make them stay on, or set them to blink. We have not had any issues.

Mine turns itself off, which for me is very desirable. I can never remember to turn it off. It needs to be turned back on manually.

The backlight goes off by itself after about 10 seconds. You push the button to turn it back on.

Try replacing the switch. It sounds like the circuit is closed which is causing the lights to be on continuously.It is a simple operation and much cheaper than taking it to the dealership.

I just received an e-mail asking me if I could respond to your concern. But now I see that you've contacted customer service and the are sending you a new speed sensor (which was my guess). The auto-shutdown after five minutes was the clue. If left on and unattended it shuts itself off to save power.

I haven't noticed mine turn red, but I guess they probably can. The red light is a Overheat light, that says it's overheating. I am not sure if it has an auto shut off, I think I remember the manual saying "If the light comes on, shut it off".

I leave mine set to the on position always. There's a motion sensor so the light stays on & will automatically go off after about 30 seconds after closing my door. Otherwise, depending on what you're using it for you could mount on wall or door & keep in off position & then manually turn on when you need it.

This device turns off automatically after 20 minutes at rest (parked) by default. There may also be an option to have it turn on automatically, but I do not recall.

I am driving a honda city 2009. It does switch off and on back automatically according to the car ignition. I just got the item less than 2 months, so not yet clocked 19,000hrs.

Mine is still going after 6 months. Every now and then I forget to turn it off after I use it, so I appreciate the auto-off feature that turns it off for me after a few minutes.

The light will automatically turn off by itself if you just wait a few seconds

My light stays on as long as the unit is plugged in and the battery is attached. I just let it charge for 10 hours before removing. That seems to work. It would be nice if the light went off when it was done, but I donlt think mine does...

Guess it depends on your SUV... Tried to look it up, and eventually just left the back open any time I was hanging out there anyway - mine turns off and even did not wake anyone with lights when I opened the other doors. Found info on other SUVs where they pulled a fuse - to stop the light more than any battery drain

I talked with Sunbeam today. The auto shutoff is after 10 hours. We confirmed this with our one we bought 2 weeks ago

I had an issue with lights flickering after interrior lights shut off after turning off the car. (Time delay). Turned off my domeight over ride (so the lights don't come on when you open the door) and have not had a problem. We did however forget to turn off DVD player once before closing the unit but caught it after about 45 mins...

I just clipped my light to one of the rear brake wires at the back of my seat & it has stayed on & not fallen off. Best of luck w/yours. The light is small but is quite visible b/c of the light output...it is very bright.

It needs to be turned on and off manually. I have left it on for about an hour, but it didn't auto off.
