Fiat Pilote Reference 2010, digital clock not going off

[chrishome49]

Hi there,
Can anyone advise, why the digital clock on our motorhome is constantly staying on? It's not illuminated, but shows the digital time constantly when the ignition is turned off and the vehicle is locked. I'm worried this will drain the battery over time? We've only had the motorhome a few months and wondering if the clock is supposed to stay on like this all the time?

Many thanks in advance.

I dont know if it should stay on, but it will cause an insignificant drain on the battery - think of a digital watch which has a minute battery that keeps it powered for years.

Mine does the same, it's just one of the things that is on, like the alarm and the hab control panel, even when it's off it draws a tiny amount.

The current draw from that clock display running (bear in mind that the clock itself has to run anyway) is very small.
A single AA battery will drive a clock.with a display like that for two or three years.

On the basis of that, I estimate that the clock display load will discharge your battery in about one hundred years if left on 24/7
