2010 Base here and I had a dead battery a couple weeks ago from a rear overhead light being left on for ~2 days. Jumped it at my house to bring it to Autozone to see what was up and noticed the light while driving lol. Charged the system by driving for a bit and all was well.

By the way, it’s a 2012 base.

When I experienced same issue on my 2012 base my doors were closed. Yes my lights eventually shutoff when a door is open as described in owners manual.
