Why does the rear light of T-Roc stay on?
2 Answers
T-Roc rear light stays on may be due to the switch not being turned off, or an abnormality in the car. Here are the detailed explanations and solutions: Switch not turned off: First, there is a REAR switch above the rearview mirror in the cabin; turn it off, then turn off the rear light switch to shut it down. Second, check the buttons around the sunroof control; there is a switch that controls the light when the door is opened, turning it off will solve the issue. Car abnormality: If this abnormality occurs, it is recommended to return to the dealership for a comprehensive inspection to identify and address the issue promptly, ensuring it does not affect normal vehicle usage.
I also encountered the issue of the rear light staying on when driving the T-Roc, which was quite annoying. Start troubleshooting with simple steps: check if the physical switch of the rear light is stuck in the 'on' position, and gently move it a few times; close and open all doors several times to see if the light changes, as the door control switch might be faulty; refer to the car manual to locate the fuse box (usually under the steering wheel) and check if the relevant fuse is blown. If the problem persists, it might be due to a short circuit in the wiring or a control module failure, which isn’t safe to fix on your own. The light staying on continuously drains the battery—once my car battery died overnight because of this, leaving me unable to start the car in the morning when I urgently needed it. Therefore, it’s best to drive to a 4S shop or consult a professional mechanic as soon as possible. They can quickly diagnose the issue using diagnostic tools. Sometimes Volkswagen models have sensitive sensors, so mentioning this during regular maintenance can help prevent future problems.
