Why does the Volkswagen Golf's overhead light always stay on?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Golf's overhead light always stays on because the daytime running lights can better attract the attention of other pedestrians, making it safer. Below is an introduction to related content about the Volkswagen Polo: 1. Body dimensions: The Volkswagen Polo has a length of 4053mm, width of 1751mm, height of 1446mm, and a wheelbase of 2564mm. 2. Powertrain: The Volkswagen Polo is equipped with three gasoline engines (1.0L/1.0T/1.5T) and one 1.6T diesel engine, with maximum power ranging from 48kW (65PS) to 110kW (150PS). It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, 6-speed automatic transmission, or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving my Volkswagen Golf for several years, and the issue of the dome light not turning off is quite common. The main reason I've encountered is the door not being closed tightly. The sensor is located on the door latch, and even a slight obstruction can cause it to mistakenly keep the light on. The switch is set to the middle position, which should automatically turn it off, but if the circuit is aging, problems can arise. The battery can easily be drained, especially in winter when the car is cold, making it difficult to start—pretty annoying. Additionally, incorrect settings can also have an impact, like forgetting to turn off the dome light switch after parking last time, or the car being set to a constant-on mode for decoration, though this is less common. It's advisable to always check if the doors are properly closed before driving and set the light switch to auto mode. If the problem persists, visit a 4S shop or a repair shop to check if there's a short circuit in the electrical system, to prevent a minor issue from escalating and affecting other components.
