Hey guys. I disconnected my MY12 IPS battery in order to swap out some bulbs. I disconnected the battery then I realized I need a lift to actually swap them out. I reconnected the battery and now my lights won't shut off as pictured....keys in the ignition and out of the ignition...?!

Thoughts? You guys never let me down!

Pressed the parking lights button?

seems weird - the dealors either disconnect these batteries all the time or just replace them - never heard of this before?

Yeah definately weird! I screwed around with it, connecting and disconnecting it. Don't know when they shut off but it's all good now. However, now my pioneer unit reset and is asking for a password. The dealer has no idea what it is.

Does this mean I'm screwed?!?! Is there any way to reset the password??

OK look I don't want you to freak out, but I think your car is becoming self aware, like Skynet in the terminator movies.

Could check with dealer. Mine supplied a readout, car specific, that included the radio password, if so programmed. My car has the Pioneer x940bt unit that can be installed without a password and was. Disconnecting/reconnecting my battery does not interfere with radio/nav usage.
Good luck!

Big bird do the drl hack by unplugging a connector underneath your passenger footwell.
