Camry 2012+ :: Switch To Turn On Trunk Light?
Where they've hidden the switch that turns the trunk light on--and the switch that lights up the instrument panel warning light that the trunk is open, and that causes that annoying bleating when you're driving with the trunk unlatched?
I have a 10' kayak that I slide into the trunk for a 1/2 mile drive down my private road to the dock and I'm sick of listening to that warning beep--hoping I can put tape over the switch or something to shut it up.
Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Trunk Indicator Light Won't Turn Off
Own a 2006 Sonata GLS 3.3L.
Having an issue where the trunk indicator light stays on on the dash and won't turn off; just started yesterday. It causes the car alarm to go off prematurely when the car is locked via remote and will not beep when locked twice with remote indicating that it is locked.
Otherwise the trunk functions properly, opens and closes fine, latches fine. The only work done in the past 3 months was an oil change a few days ago.
Prius (2001-03) :: Turn Off Trunk Light Temporarily?
I want to turn off the trunk light temporarily, either by jamming the switch or removing the bulb. But I couldn't find the switch, the cover seems that it would break very easily, neither manual nor my haynes book tells me how to do this, or anything about the trunk light.
View 4 RepliesHyundai - Sonata :: 2002 - Trunk Light On Cluster Won't Turn Off?
My trunk light on the cluster gauge will not turn off. I removed the trunk light bulb so it wouldn't drain the battery but over the span of about a month the battery gets low enough not to start, so I'm assuming its keeping something else on in addition to the light. I only drive about 150 miles a month so it doesn't have much time to recharge even if it is a small draw. I disconnected the sensor in the trunk but the light is still on, The odd thing is that if I apply high G's from breaking or accelerating quickly, the light will turn off till I stop accelerating/decelerating (normal driving does not effect it). I'm thinking its probably a short from an aftermarket remote start/security system that was removed. I do not use the factory alarm so I do not care about the trunk sensor being disabled but I cant seem to figure out where to disconnect it from (pulling the fuse did nothing)and I assume I need to find the trunk/hatch pin wire that it is referring to. Or am I going about this all wrong?

I left the trunk of my 2007 Prius open long enough for the light to drain the battery. Once I jumped it, I was able to drive the 100 miles home, even though the red triangle warning light was on. Now when I turn the car on, there's a light I've never seen before, as seen in the attached image.

Tiguan :: Trunk Remaining Locked When Hit Open Button On Remote Control
I'm having some trouble opening the trunk of the Tiguan and I'm wondering if this is a known or common problem. When I hit the open button on the remote control, sometimes the trunk door doesn't fully un-hitche and it remains locked. I can completely close the door again and try again and it still won't open.

The key to the trunk lock on my 1988 Celica won't turn. I don't have the original key. Could be that I have the valet key. All other locks (ignition, door and dash door work. I will probably get a replacement from the junkyard if I can find a car with a lock and key. Other trunk locks are interchangeable with the celica???

So I tried to start the car and the key wouldn't turn. Then I grab the other key... same problem... I double checked to make sure that it was on park and tried to turn the key again ... no dice... I took the first key and then blew at it like how you would blow those NES cartridges... and POOF ... it started... I don't think it was lint....
View 5 RepliesTiguan :: Can Hardly Turn Over The Engine
My tig's battery has ALWAYS been horribly weak since the start. Leave the radio on for 15 mins and the car can hardly turn over the engine. Unfortunately, I'm sort of like how I am with myself and doctors as I am with my car and the dealers - I only go if I absolutely have to. Now the battery is pretty much worthless and more than once its caused me to not be able to start my car (especially in the cold).
I just got back from the dealer this morning and they confirmed it. Of course they blamed my amp installation which I predicted but the issue was always there long before I installed the system (about 8 months ago), I just never took care of it when I should've. They also told me that the battery only has a 2 year 24k mile warranty and I'm now at 25.8k.... Sigh... I am my own worst enemy.
Anyways, I did a search for "battery" in the tiguan forum and amazingly, I didn't find a thread talking about replacement battery options. My buddy/co-worker recommends an optima battery or a "deep cell" battery since I have an amp installed. But I know I can't just go on to amazon and purchase any ole optima battery, it has to fit the rather small battery platform in our Tigs.
Tiguan :: Climatronic - Turn On Without AC
For the greater part of the year I don't use the A/C in the car. I find it frustrating that when I want the fan or some heat the A/C will kick in when I press the Auto button. I turn the Climatronic off when I drive with the windows or top down (sunroof in the Tiguan) and it seems silly to have the A/C cycle on for the few seconds it takes me to reach over to press the A/C button to turn the compressor off. I read the manual and checked options in VAG COM but couldn't figure out how to get it to not do that. I accidentally figured it out yesterday.
If you want to go from Off to Auto without activating the A/C compressor, don't press Auto; press Off. Yes, that's counter-intuitive because it's already off. But pressing Off turns the Climatronic on in the auto mode but does NOT automatically turn on the A/C compressor. At least that's how it works in my 2012. And yes, I do run the compressor at least once every month, even in winter, to keep the system lubricated.
Tiguan :: Key Will Not Turn In Ignition
My key won't turn in the ignition and therefore can't start.
Since the problem started I did manage to get it to start maybe 3 times after playing around with it. But, the same problem repeats after shutdown.
Sent my car to the dealer already so waiting to see what they say. If it matters it's a 2009 Tiguan 2.0T 4Motion

Tiguan :: Mildew Smell Every Time When Turn On The AC
I'm getting a mildew smell every time I turn on the AC in my Tiguan. Even if the car is warmed up and shut off for 5 minutes, when turned on again, the smell is there. It's a 2012 with only 15k miles and the cabin filter is brand new. I was thinking of getting the mold sprays to apply directly to the vents. What to do to resolve it?
