I have my E-cutout switch tied into the power supply from cigarette lighter. Therefore the small led that illuminates the switch is on 24/7. I leave my radar detector on 24/7 and have never had any issues with it draining my battery, I am assuming this switch should be the same way. If I go a few days without driving my car, will this lighted switch drain my battery? Just a quick pic for reference (you can see the switch lit up right next to my TCS)

I wouldn't think it would cause the battery to go dead but it is always drawing a little power so it is possible though.

I had mine wired like that too. It sat for nearly a month on an optima red top with no problems.

Yes it is draining the battery.....it is only a matter of time as to when it will kill it.

It may use a tad more juice than a blinking LED for an alarm. Think about it that way.

Yeah, i really didn't fugure I would have any probelms since my car never sits for more than a couple weeks without being driven. It's usually drieven daily unless I'm gone for vacation or something.
