Cargo Light Timeout Confusion

Hi all

I may be going mad but, in relation to this type of connector (below), my understanding was it's made up of:

- Positive
- GND
- GND (for courtesy lights, based on unlocking)

Previously, I thought I'd tested hooking a light up with a switch and the feed from Positive and GND being live after the courtesy lights dimmed (different circuit, makes sense). Today, though, I was testing again and I've noticed two things:

1. The courtesy light timeout seems to have reduced rapidly (it was ~10 mins, now it's going off after less than a minute I'd say).
2. The GND that I thought I could always leverage is timing out after a few mins as well. I expected I could leverage this indefinitely. I have press unlock to trigger this which I didn't expect.

I should point out that my battery level I think is fine (in case that would affect it) and I say that because start/stop is working, I've done a few long journeys etc. and so I wouldn't expect to be seeing different behaviour -- maybe I'm mistaken though (I can't see why else it would do this).

Hopefully I've explained that well enough, and any helpful points would be appreciated.
