From the inside only,or both handles?
If inside only,chances are your child safety lock is on in that door.Open door from the outside and look at it by the latch-there is a small white circle with a flat spot.Insert something(key,screwdriver) and turn.This is a safety function so kids can't open the doors from the inside.From time to time they seem to engage themselves.

First, check all of the door switches to make sure they are working properly in the door closed position. A broken switch actuator will cause this problem. If that doesn't work or you don't have the resources to fix the problem right away, check your owner's manual for the location of the dome light fuse. Pull this fuse and save it until you can finish the repair.

  • Check the fuse in the under the dash fuse panel.
  • Also check the door pins on the door frame. When you open the door it pops out turning the lights on. When you close the door the lights and chimes turn off. Sometimes that pin either breaks or flat out sticks. Look at the pins on every door and clean them up and spray with a little bolt buster spray. You can take a small flat head screwdriver and pry up a bit on the head of the pin as well to make sure it comes up all the way. In extreme cases you may have to work with it for a while to loosen it up.

I have 2005 lexus gs 300 n somethjng is draining my battery can you help me

I had the same situation with a sport car Alfa Romeo 147 2004,which was all the time was draining the battery and brought the owner to fear on using it,as nobody could help. And on checking it in my shop for three days testing,driving and especially checked during night time when left on a dark parking place,noticed that the rear left side red light bulb was in a very very low power use and was hard to notice it.The fault on that was PCM unit which was faulty. Repaired without renewing the Unit,but by-passing the circuit by means connecting the left side on to the right side of circuit on lighting.The vehicle works perfectly up to know for the last six years after the modification.The other possibility is the light in the boot,on closing the door but because after closing the boot wont see whether the light stays on or not. If your back seats could fold down and can have access to boot is easy to check. If not the easy thing I was going to do is just to remove the Bulb from the boot and keep it off till the vehicle was draining the battery,just to see if it drain or not.Good luck.

1988 Cadillac Deville. ELC light stays on in dash and drains battery

The light is on because the system fuse was removed, this causes the control module to see a fault. either fix the system or pull the dash and remove the warning bulb.

I have a 2009 mazda3, there is a problem in the gear display on the gauage panel. it doesnt show that the car is in Park,reverse and netural. Other than that it shows when it is on D and M

Check the lamps/lights. of the shifter/console gear assembly. If your car engages the park shift, it may be something as simple as a $3.00 mini light bulb found at a local auto parts... Good luck!

What model year transmission is compatible with a 2005 Mazda 3 sport

From Wikipedia.. "The Mazda3 or Mazda 3 (known as the Mazda Axela in Japan) is a compact car manufactured in Japan by the Mazda Motor Corporation. It was introduced in 2003 as a 2004 model, replacing the Familia/323/Proteg?. A performance-oriented version of the Mazda3 is marketed as the Mazdaspeed3 in North America, Mazdaspeed Axela in Japan and the Mazda3 MPS in Europe.
A second generation Mazda3 for the 2010 model year was unveiled in late 2008, with the sedan premiering at the Los Angeles Auto Show and the hatchback at the Bologna Auto Show. For the 2012 model year, Mazda began offering the Mazda3 with their newly developed SkyActiv technology, including a more rigid body, a new direct injection engine, and a new 6-speed transmission.[6]
The current third generation was introduced in mid-2013 as a 2014 model." My guess is the transmission from 2004 to 2009 mike be cross compatible. I would go to Autozone and ask or call the parts department at department at a local Madza dealer.

M35 BATTERY DRAIN PROBLEM

INTERMITTENT BATTERY DRAINS ARE HARD TO FIND. TURN OFF ALL SWITCHES IN THE VEHICLE. MAKE SURE THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT LITE IS GOING OUT. OPEN THE HOOD. CLOSE ALL THE DOORS. MAKE SURE ALL OF THE COURTESY LITES ARE GOING OFF. DISABLE ANY UNDER THE HOOD LIGHTS. REMOVE THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. USE A 12 VOLT TEST LIGHT, FASTEN ONE END TO A GOOD GROUND, { METAL PART OF THE MOTOR} . FASTEN THE OTHER END TO THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF THE BATTERY. IF THE TEST LIGHT LIGHTS UP THERE IS A BATTERY DRAIN. IF NO LIGHT , NO DRAIN. IF THE LIGHT IS ON LOOK IN THE FUSE/RELAY BOX NEAR THE BATTERY. PULLOUT THE FUSES, LARGE & SMALL ONE AT A TIME, IF THE LIGHT STAYS ON PUT THE FUSE BACK IN TRY THE NEXT FUSE. WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT, THAT IS THE CIRCUIT CAUSING THE DRAIN. IF IT NEVER GOES OUT, DISCONNECT THE ALTERNATOR. IF THAT MAKES THE LIGHT GO OUT, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ALTERNATOR. IF THE LIGHT IS NEVER ON, YOU MAY HAVE TO DO THIS ANOTHER DAY TO FIND THE DRAIN. ALSO HAVE THE BATTERY RECHECKED.
