weird electrical problem
(OP)
i own a mazda 3. the problem is that with everything turned off my parkinkg lights still light up but with low brightness. also noticed that when i switch on the fog light (even when everything is off) the problem is solved.
RE: weird electrical problem
Without access to a set of schematics, its hard to know what's happening - try pulling relevant fuses as a first cut at diagnosis?
"everything turned off" - this includes the car ignition?
Does it normally keep the lights on for a period of time after you lock it?
If so, does that feature still work as expected"
Does the battery run down if the parking lights appear to be off?
(ex: over night, or over a weekend?)
