This little white push switch that fits over the 10 A Electrics fuse comes to the dealer in the off position, they then push it in on delivery. It prevents battery drain during storage as the name would suggest by disabling certain systems.

I started getting symptoms where the Homelink would stop working and the exterior chime also stopped, also my OBD II port stopped supplying power. Everything else functioned fine.

I checked the fuses and none were blown, however after more poking around I noticed that what I now know is the extended storage switch was wiggly, I gave it a good push in and it clicked, and all my problems went away. A week of intermittent problems solved, I was about to head to the dealer.

Dude youre awesome! I was wondering why my bluetooth OBDII sensor wasnt working in my car, but when I plugged it into my wifes and my friends car it worked. I went in there and sure enough that white plastic tab was not pressed down, hence the vehicle was in extended storage mode...therefore not supplying the bluetooth sensor with power through the OBDII port. And now my car performs that beeping noise when locking and unlocking the car, which i didnt know it did. Thanks again, you made my day! rep+1!

Hey guys, so I am also running into this issue and I pressed in that switch but that did not solve the problem, no chime. Anyone else run into this issue recently? I have a 2012. When the guys tuned my car they did say my obd reader was working so idk what it can be, please help.
