Radio Dash Illuminated After Locking

[farmerharry]

Hi guys, Ford Fiesta, titanium 59 plate 1.4tdci,

This evening I double locked my car like normal and turned round to see that the radio dash stating the time and date was still illuminated, after starting the car and locking it again it has still stayed illuminated, the only think I did this evening was change the time on the clock.

Now 40 minutes has passed and still it is illuminated. I don't really fancy having a dead battery in the morning, any feedback??

After seeing this topic; http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/9208-new-fiesta-problem/

I took the fuse out and then put it back in making sure it wasn't blown and it has reset it, I can tell you all for free it is very cold and f***ing windy out, take care

p.s the fuse is on the top row and 2nd 7.5 along from the left, its number 15 in the book but no numbers on the fuse box, and no table on the glove compartment *which there was on the mk6!!!!*

It is perfectly normal. It turns itself off after a set period of time. My old fiesta did this & I thought there was something wrong with it when I first got it.

Double lock the car then wait until the lights go out (but remember to time it).
