What is the reason why the light on the roof of the Enclave's cabin cannot be turned off?

The light on the roof of the cabin cannot be turned off possibly because the constant-on mode is activated, which requires manual shutdown. Introduction to the cabin dome light button: Generally, there is a button next to the light on the roof of the cabin, which has three modes: ON (constant-on mode), DOOR (light on when the door is open and off when closed), and OFF (off mode). It is usually set to DOOR mode, where the light automatically turns on when the door is opened and off when the door is closed. If the button is set to ON, the light will remain constantly on. Methods to handle abnormal lighting of the interior light: If the interior light turns on abnormally, check the light switch, doors, and the light itself. Since the interior light is frequently used, most interior lights generally do not have issues. If you are unsure how to adjust the interior light mode, you can refer to the car's user manual for guidance. If the light is abnormal and you cannot identify the problem, you can take it to a professional repair shop or a 4S store for inspection.
I've been driving for decades and have encountered the issue of the interior light not turning off many times. On the Envision, the main cause is often a door sensor problem—either the door isn't fully closed or the small magnetic switch on the door edge is broken, which makes the system mistakenly think the door is open and keeps the light on. Another common issue is the interior light switch itself getting stuck in the ON position; you might need to press it a few more times to test. A circuit short is also a suspect, such as aging wires causing unstable connections and erratic current flow. Don’t underestimate this problem—the light drains the battery quickly, and it could be dead by morning, leaving you stranded the next day. You can start by checking if the doors are properly closed, replacing fuses, or manually adjusting the switch. If that doesn’t work, head to a professional repair shop for a thorough check—they can pinpoint the issue with a multimeter. Safe driving is the priority, so don’t delay and risk bigger problems.
