Using a flash drive

[Telluwhatride]

when I plug in a flash drive with light indicator to the USB port in the center console it lights up and stays lit even with the ignition off. Is this going to drain my battery if I leave it in?

Did it stay lit after you opened the door and locked it from outside? Usually accessory power is still on until you exit the vehicle after turning off the engine.

I leave my USB drive in the slot for days with not driving it (nowhere to go while in lock down) and it hasn't had any issues.

FYI because it happened to me, if you use a normal sized USB stick, don't close the lid. Mines was stuck for awhile, there's a thread on it. Thought I had broken mine at first to get it open but finally got it. Bought a mini USB drive instead.
