Rotating Striker Light possessed by Demon? Exorcism advice?
If have had this occasional, erratic recurring problem with the rotating "Striker Light" that the PO had installed on the roof in front of the penthouse. I come back home in the evening to find the light on, burning up the juice in my starter batteries! The light control unit is mounted on the engine hump, so it is pretty easy to bump it if you walk between the front seats,.. So I thought that I was causing this problem by being clumsy. Because this has already recently cost me a $400 pair of new starter batteries, I am always careful to visually check if the Striker Light is on when I park the van,.. But it is sometimes difficult to tell in bright sunlight. Last night I came home to find the light on again and no one had been in the van, which makes think it is "Possessed"! What else could possibly be causing this? The only other clue is that I had the van plugged into shore power and the cord had been unplugged at the house outside receptacle, causing a "power failure" to the van. I'm thinking that I need to install a "fail-safe" switch in the power supply to the Striker Light, but I don't know how it was wired and the control unit appears to operate wirelessly. Any body else out there have one of these Striker Lights? According to the receipts it was installed by SMB West as part of the original conversion,.. Exorcism advice?
