Long story short,
I was in the garage and had both doors open. The retained accessory power feature had already cut the power earlier, so everything was shut down. I had the key fob in my pocket and was standing about 3 feet away from the rear of the car. All of a sudden, I saw the interior lights come on as they would if someone had unlocked the car, but REMEMBER, the doors were already opened. At first, I thought I had accidently pressed the unlock button on the fob while it was in my pocket.
The strange part however, was that immediately after the lights came on, the climate control blower fan turned on all by itself. I immediately walked towards the car and sat inside on the passenger’s side, and although the blower fan was on, everything else (with the exception of the interior lights) was off. The climate control display was off as well. I was very confused why this turned on all by itself. Not sure what to do, I pressed the lower position of the “push to start” button (ACCESSORY MODE). ACCESSORY MODE was then activated, and I immediately pressed the button again to turn off ACCESSORY MODE. Doing this immediately shut the blower off.
Why would the interior lights and blower fan turn on by themselves. Is this a normal function and if so, what is it for?
I have a 96 Eldorado that sometimes will turn the blower fan on all by itself, but this only happens when I have the ignition on. I’ve often wondered if this was an automatic feature that attempts to cool the interior. With the XLR today however, this all happened while I was standing outside the car and everything was supposedly off. I cannot say for certain if I had accidently pressed the unlock button on the fob while it was in my pocket, but if I did, would this cause this to happen or does it sound like something is out of whack? The car is a 2009.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
