This guide aims to help Volkswagen Caddy owners troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue of interior lights that won’t turn off. The guide covers various methods to fix the problem without visiting a mechanic, such as adjusting the light switch, closing all doors apart from the sliding door, pushing in and holding the sliding door switch, pushing the rear reading light buttons, and trying the button under the control panel.
If the interior lights don’t turn off, it may be due to a door switch problem or a door switch issue. The video shows that the interior lamp on the driver’s side turns on automatically and constantly. If the issue persists, it may be due to a button on the overhead center panel that turns on the interior lights when the door is opened or when the car is locked via key fob.
In summary, this guide provides tips on how to fix the interior lights issue without visiting a mechanic. To troubleshoot the issue, follow these steps:
- Adjust the light switch by pushing the rear reading light buttons in the IN position.
- Close all doors apart from the sliding door and push in and hold the sliding door switch to see if the lights dim and go out.
- Push the rear reading light buttons so each button is in the IN position.
- Try the button under the control panel again, leaving enough time for the “entry” lights to go.
- Clean the contacts with wire wool and stick the key back into the ignition lock.
In conclusion, the guide provides a step-by-step solution for resolving the interior lights issue in Volkswagen Caddy vehicles.

Thanks Graham I was fitting insulation in my Kombi pulled light out brass bit pulled out. Looking at your article was very helpful took light apart and took out my other light to see how that worked took ages to work out how to put the stange shaped brass piece that holds the bulb as that had been ripped out. Did it eventually over the moon to have done it. Thanks again.
Hi Graham, I have T5, looks like it’s similar to yours, thanks for the article. I have a query, at 4.43 I can see that the light setting is on the middle section ( when the door is open it activates the light!). But your light wasn’t on and the door is open. I’m currently scratching my head trying to get the light to turn on when you open the side door, am I right in thinking it’s not meant to!?
I currently having an issue where the rear door light doesn’t come on when the door is opened but the middle does. Does anyone know if both lights should come on when the side door is opened or if the rear light only comes on when the back doors are opened. Both light units work ok so it’s a wiring or door switch issue.
Literally pulling hair out, my caddy (12 plate) rear interior light turns on with unlock, turns off with lock but once turned on it stays on and won’t go out?!?!?! You can put it to off position, to stay on position but when you leave it to the middle position, it won’t turn off…..Please someone help me🙈🤣
