What to do if the interior dome light of the Buick Excelle stays on?

If the interior dome light stays on, switch the dome light control to OFF, and the light will turn off. It may also be that the switch is set to DOOR mode. Opening and then closing the door again can turn off the light.
I've encountered the issue of the interior dome light staying on in the Buick Excelle several times. From my experience, the first step is to check the position of the light switch, usually located near the roof with three modes: door control, on, and off. If set to door control mode, the light only turns on when the door is open and automatically turns off when closed. However, if the door isn't properly shut or there's a sensor malfunction, the light may stay on. Once during a night drive, I accidentally left the switch in the on position, which nearly drained the battery by the next morning—luckily, I managed to start the car in time. My suggestion is to manually set the light to the off position first and test it. If it remains on, it could be a faulty door sensor or a wiring short circuit. In such cases, it's best not to tinker with it yourself; instead, drive directly to a 4S shop or service station for inspection to avoid unexpected battery issues affecting travel safety. Always pay attention to this small detail and develop the habit of checking whether the lights are off after turning off the engine—it protects the battery and saves hassle.
