Hi, I'm having a minor problem with my 2001 Hyundai Accent. My Dash board is showing that my trunk is open, even though it is closed. Im leaving on vacation for 10 days and I'm wondering if a single dash board light could drain my battery.
I have no other lights on and I have removed the bulb that was lighting up in the trunk. Thanks for the help.

There should be a switch somewhere where the trunk closes. It's kind of like the light switch in a refrigerator door. I don't know exactly where that is on your car but if you can find that, you should be able to replace it.

Not sure about the Accent, but I think the switch is built into the latch of my Elantra. If you're worried about killing your battery, I think pulling Fuse 2 or 3 in the Passenger Compartment Fuse Box will keep that light from staying on. Just remember to put it back in before driving!

check the trunck door sensor and check if its loose, and if the car has been rear ended it could be that the sensor is not making contact.
