Leaving doors open for a long time ...
2018 4Runner SR5
My car is setup as a camper with a sleeping platform inside.
Recently i was camping, engine was turned off and suddenly I heard quite a loud whirring noise in the exhaust area.
It lasted for a few minutes then stopped.
Car started and deove without issue, however the next day I noticed tht my radio and nav presets were gone.
This is the sequence of evenrts:
At night, I kept the key in the ignition with car turned off, I had to start the engine a couple of times during the night because it was too cold and had to heat up the interior.
Next morning, I took the key out of the ignition, and had all doors open for a few hours while making coffee and breakfast. While I has having coffee, I heard the noise described above. The doors were still open. The doors were open for 2-3 hours at least, with engine off and no key in the ignition.
Car drives fine, no issues, I am not worried, just curious of what happened, did I cause this by leaving doors open for a long time and/or key in the ignition with engine off at night ?
Any thoughts appreciated.
