The Swift rear view monitor has a red light on all the time - even when the engine is off and the van is not on electrical hook up. It looks a bit like a "red standby" light on a TV etc. Should the monitor have a permanent light on - hence a possible drain to the battery, or should it be OFF, as in totally OFF?
It is the 2007 flip down monitor.

If I was you I'd be very careful of showing a red light, especially in Italy!!.
I'm sure there must be a main switch off button somewhere, maybe its one of those 'press and hold for 2 seconds' buttons which always confuses me!

I have just read the red light thread - what a corker.
I have tried various times but it does not seem to want to turn off fully.
I did notice last week my engine battery voltage levels - info from the inboard information screen was dropping on a daily basis, and wondered if the two were connected.

The camera system should stay on whilst driving, this keeps the camera lens "de-misted" for when reverse is selected and allows use of the camera as a rear view mirror when travelling forward. In this case the red light will be on.
When in standby the red light will also be on, when the vehicle engine is off and multimedia isolation swithch is off, then off should mean off, no red light. If an isolation is not fitted this would be a worthwhile addition

When the engine is off, and there is no electrical hook up on a campsite etc, the red light stays on. If I press the power button, the monitor comes on. Press the button again and the monitor goes off but the red light stays on. The CD/Radio is off.
If I am missing out pressing anything, let me know please.
Ciao
