What is the reason for the door light of Senya R7 staying on?
2 Answers
If the door light of Senya R7 stays on, it indicates that the door is not properly closed. Solutions: 1. Check if each door is properly closed, open it and then close it firmly; 2. Inspect the door sensor switches one by one to see if any are malfunctioning, and replace them if necessary. The Senya R7 is a compact SUV introduced by China FAW, designed by IDG, a German Volkswagen-controlled automotive design company. The Senya R7 incorporates abundant technological, fashionable, and sporty styling elements in its exterior and interior design. The vehicle features smooth lines, a dignified and imposing appearance, highlighting the rugged style of an SUV while blending the elegant temperament of a sedan. The Senya R7 is equipped with a high-strength cage-type body and one-piece stamped doors. Inside, it includes four airbags, anti-embedded pedals, an intelligent active safety protection system with ESP, ISOFIX child seat interfaces, and other safety configurations to comprehensively ensure the safety of passengers and drivers.
The car I drive is the Senia R7. Last month, the door light kept staying on, and after troubleshooting, I found out it was a faulty door switch. That switch is located on the edge of the door and is responsible for sensing the opening and closing of the door. If it gets dirty or worn out, it can easily get stuck, or if the door frame is deformed, it might not press tightly, causing the light to stay on. There are also wiring issues, such as oxidized connectors or short circuits. If water accumulates in the door during rainy days, it can also cause a short circuit, keeping the light on. Once, I tried fixing it myself—after closing all the doors tightly, I gave them a firm push, and the light went off, indicating the switch was loose. If that doesn’t work, you can check the switch’s position and clean any rust with WD-40 to save some money. If that still doesn’t help, take it to a repair shop—they can test the circuit with a multimeter and fix it in minutes. Don’t forget, a constantly lit light drains the battery quickly, potentially emptying it overnight, which is troublesome when parked and can attract thieves. Regular maintenance, like keeping the doors clean and avoiding slamming them too hard, can extend the switch’s lifespan.
