How to deal with the interior light of the Tiguan not turning off?
3 Answers
Turn off the vehicle and then restart it, or turn off the vehicle and try locking it to see if the light turns off. If the issue persists, it could be a problem with the power supply system, and you may need to visit a repair shop to check and repair the wiring. Below is some relevant information about the Tiguan: 1. Space: The interior space is ample, with the extended wheelbase providing good legroom; however, the trunk volume is slightly insufficient, but overall, it is quite suitable for family use. 2. Handling: The seating position is high, offering a broad field of vision, with light and precise steering and smooth gear shifting; the chassis is solid and stable, with relatively firm suspension; however, the initial part of the brake pedal travel is soft, and the thick A-pillars slightly obstruct the view when turning.
If the interior lights in my Tiguan won't turn off, I'd start by checking the simple things first. Doors not being fully closed is a common cause – the door control switches in models like the Tiguan are very sensitive, and even a slight gap can keep the lights on, so try firmly closing the doors again. A stuck switch button can also easily cause this issue; press the button several times to try resetting it. If that doesn’t work, check the fuses – blown or loose fuses may keep the lights on constantly. The Tiguan’s fuse box is usually located under the steering wheel. Poor wiring connections or short circuits could also be the culprit; try gently shaking the wire connectors yourself. If the problem persists, it’s best to visit a professional repair shop to check for relay or module issues. For prevention, regular maintenance and cleaning of the switch area can help reduce malfunctions.
I've experienced the annoyance of not being able to turn off the headlights on my Tiguan. A simple test is to repeatedly toggle the switch and observe if there's any change in the lights. If the lights stay on continuously, it might be due to misalignment or dirt on the door switch sensor – try cleaning the door frame or adjusting the sensor settings. Blown fuses are common, especially with aging Tiguan fuses, and replacing them might solve the issue. Accidental operation can also occur, so check if any interior settings have been tampered with. If you're handy, you can remove the button panel to see if anything is stuck. Remember to address this promptly, as constant light operation drains the battery.
