how to tell interior light is on with dead battery

[Stanley]

Found battery totally dead. Maybe the interior dome light was bumped on while getting stuff from hatch area. Need to check it first before testing anything else. Doubt if I can remove the plastic lens without accidentally turning it off or on. Thinking check continuity at fuse box if it has it's own fuse.

Also want to find an LED bulb for it that won't use as much power next time it's left on. Until then I plan to remove that bulb whether or not it was the problem this time, since it's killed the battery before.

Put a jumper battery on your car. What year car is it. I used a LED in my 72. It sat all day and car started. Optima redtop battery on a battery tender when not driven


72 body and block, everything else 71, Tokico springs, Illumina, R180 CLSD, 83 close ratio, 3.90 gears, Ztherapy SUs, BRE 15X7 Libre wheels and BRE front spoiler.

No place to hook up a charger so maybe I'll buy a jumper battery, used to have one but it died. Or call triple A.

I went to the superbrightleds site, plan to order a couple of those LEDS, thanks.

Be sure and get one like 7tooZ has.  I messed up and got a frosted looking one at a local parts chain store, it sucks too just to lazy to change it out plus I'm scared I'll break the light fixture.

I tried to turn my interior light on just a week ago and I put my finger right through it.  Dust and shards.  It's time was up.

This was only $20 or so. He had it in a day or two, Nissan parts guy.
