Problem overview

Some Volkswagen CC owners report experiencing battery drain issues potentially linked to a faulty trunk sensor. They note that excessive current drain can occur if trunk lights remain on, which may happen due to a malfunctioning sensor. Additionally, owners have observed that if the battery drains while the vehicle is not running, there could be an unintended current draw from components that should not be active. Troubleshooting these battery drain problems often involves checking for parasitic draws, assessing the condition of the alternator, inspecting the battery for wear, and examining corroded connections or other electrical system issues. It is crucial for owners to investigate the trunk sensor alongside these other potential causes to accurately diagnose and resolve the battery drain issue.
