The solution for the interior dome light not turning off in the Envision is: 1. If the dome light remains on after turning off the car, you can press the button to manually turn it off; 2. If you exit from a door other than the driver's door after turning off the car and then lock it, this issue may occur. The correct method is to exit from the driver's door and lock the car after turning it off, and the interior dome light will automatically turn off. The Envision has a length of 4686mm, width of 1839mm, height of 1686mm, a wheelbase of 2750mm, and a top speed of 190 km/h. It is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The front track of the Envision is 1584mm, the rear track is 1588mm, the maximum torque is 250Nm, the front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension, and the drive system is front-wheel drive.
I've repaired many cars, and the issue of the interior dome light in the Envision not turning off is a common problem, usually caused by doors not being fully closed or sensor malfunctions. You should first check if all doors are completely shut, including the front and rear doors as well as the trunk—give them a push to see if there's any looseness. Then inspect the dome light switch settings; it might have an auto mode and a manual mode—try switching it to manual off. If the light remains on, it could be a faulty door lock sensor or a wiring short circuit. You can check the fuse box for the relevant fuse to see if it's blown and replace it with a new one. Sometimes, disconnecting the battery's negative terminal for a few minutes and then reconnecting it can reset the system and fix the issue. A constantly lit light drains the battery, and leaving it overnight might prevent the car from starting the next day. It's advisable to visit a repair shop the same day—they can quickly diagnose the circuit with a multimeter. Don’t delay and let it become a potential hazard.
Last time, my Envision also had the issue where the roof light wouldn't turn off, and I was really anxious. I checked all the doors to make sure they were securely closed, and even tried the trunk, but the light remained on. I toggled the light switch from auto to manual mode, but it still didn't work. After searching online, I realized it might be due to a dirty or faulty sensor. I disconnected the battery's negative terminal for about ten minutes and then reconnected it to reset the system, and sure enough, the light turned off. If it's not a hardware failure, this reset method works really well. The fuse is located in the box under the driver's seat, and replacing it is also straightforward. Since the light drains the battery and affects its lifespan, I recommend trying these steps before taking it in for repairs. The 4S shop handles such issues very quickly, so there's no need to worry too much.
