Strange question: even after he takes the keys out, the odometer light remains on, it's a nice bright green. seems kinda strange that it remains on even for an hour after the keys are out and the central locking locked.

any one got any ideas on how to get the light to remain off?
he's worried the battery may get flat if it's on all night.

Even if it were on all night I really doubt it would drain the battery enough to cause a problem unless the battery was already on its last legs.
