What is the reason why one of the roof lights in the Envision cannot be turned off?

The following are the possible reasons why the roof light in the Envision cannot be turned off: 1. Possible damage: The car roof light generally has three control modes: on, off, and lights up when the door is opened. If it cannot be turned off, the switch may be broken. 2. Reset: The switch next to the interior roof light has three positions: when the switch is in the middle position, the roof light automatically turns on when the door is opened and turns off when the door is closed. If the switch is manually turned on for roof light illumination and not reset to the middle position, the interior light will not turn on when the door is opened. Simply reset the switch to the middle position. 3. Remote control issue: With the door properly closed, check the light switch. Normally, the interior light will automatically turn off when the door is closed. If it does not turn off, it could be due to the switch or some controller issue. Check if there is anything in the car that adjusts the brightness of the light, and make sure it is not set to the highest level.
My Envision also had this issue with the dome light not turning off before. After some troubleshooting, I found it’s usually caused by a few common reasons: the door sensor switch getting stuck is frequent, especially if the trunk door sensor has poor contact, making the car think the door isn’t properly closed. Another cause is aging switch contacts in the reading light itself—when I opened it up to check, I noticed the metal strips were oxidized and blackened. Also, watch out for wiring shorts or control module failures. A mechanic taught me a quick trick: manually lock the doors to test the sensor status, then pull the fuse to reset the system. The safest bet is still to get a professional diagnosis, as electrical issues shouldn’t be taken lightly. Last time, I spent half an hour cleaning the contact points, which fixed the problem without needing to replace any parts.
