Can leaving the overhead car lights on all night long run down the car battery?

Yes, it can. Try to remember to look to see if it is on when you exit the vehicle. Yes most definately.
If the battery is fairly new, this shouldn't pose too much of a problem. Older batteries, of course, can run down quickly. Lots of newer cars monitor lights left on and will switch them off after 10 or so minutes - My VW Jetta does this, anyway.

What make a battery go down over night?
If you leave the lights on the battery goes down or anything else that uses the battery over night. But if that's not it, the battery is worn out and you need to buy a new one.

A great option is to use overhead spotlights or torch lights that are mounted on the side or roof of your house. If you have a patio roof you can also mount lights on the patio roof itself

Because you left the lights on all night. This drains the battery. Connect a battery charger and wait about 3 hours. Then the car might start. If it does not start buy a new battery or a new car whichever you prefer.battery juice is gone.

check the wiring connections at the battery and the starter. Both places can give starting problems. The dash lights could be a separate problem. Check the fuses for the lights.
How do you fix 1992 Chevy Lumina panel lights that stay on day or night and run down the battery?
Replace the headlight switch that turns on the lights and parking lights, it's a whole unit that has the slider dimmer switch in it. Be sure to disconnect the negative battery cable first. Cheap at a salvage yard.
Why will the battery not run out if the head lights are on when the car is on a long journey at night?
Because even though the electronics in the car run off the battery the alternator is constantly putting a charge back in the battery as long as the engine is running.

Dress in costume and patrol at night. Dim all the lights if you hear the sound of aircraft overhead. Don't let the mayor give the keys to any rockstars.

A dead cell in the battery will cause it to loose it's charge overnight. The only fix is to replace the battery. Also if something is on drawing power from the battery it will run it down overnight. Look at all lights. Interior, under hood, trunk, give box, brake lights, etc. It can also be a stuck relay.

What happen to a car when it stays on the whole night?
Depends if you have the ignition running or just the say you left the lights on. If you just left the ignition on all night nothing will happen except just running out of fuel. If you left your lights on without ignition running your battery will die.
