After a heavy snow fall last night and into this morning with a lot of blowing snow, I found that my blind spot monitoring indicator on my right mirror will not fully shut off. I remote started the vehicle, cleared the snow off and turned the key on. Both blind spot indicators turned on for a brief moment as they always do to. The left one went off but the right one went to about half brightness and now will not shut off at all, even after the vehicle has been turned off, locked and left for over an hour. I also tried turning the Blind Spot Zone Alert off in the vehicle settings and turning it back on with no success. At first I thought the snow was blocking the sensor but I don't see how that could be the issue since it remains on after the vehicle is shut off. I had something blocking the sensor last winter because it stayed on and eventually went off after a while of driving. During that time though it was at full brightness, not at half brightness as it currently is as I write this post.
Anyone with the safety package ever have a problem like this? I found this post which doesn't help as it appears my problem is something new: http://www.cruzetalk.com/forum/9-general-discussion-forum/114041-blind-spot-mirror-indicator.html
The LED is very dim so I can't imagine it will weaken the battery enough to not allow it to start in the morning. The only thing I haven't tried is disconnecting the battery for a bit. What side effects come with doing that? Is it maybe worth a shot?
