Horn Assembly Problems of Mazda MAZDA6

The door lock actuators go bad on this car which causes the car to believe one of the doors is open when it is not. The dome lights are driven by the door actuators sensing that a door is open, so when you are driving, the interior lights will flash on and off. Very distracting, especially at night. The lights turning on and off only happens when the car is being driven, I have not noticed it when stationary. Usually it occurs during turns and the lights stay on for a few seconds. The door actuators are a common problem on this car and has many complaints about this issue online. This has been going on for several months now. The door actuator being faulty also causes the security alarm to go off and start sounding the car's horn sporadically. The car will be parked in a driveway with nobody around through all hours of the day and it will go off. Although not a safety concern like the problem with the lights, it is still symptomatic of the malfunctioning door actuators.

After getting my airbag recall fixed on my 2006 Mazda6 on Tuesday 10- 3 today Thursday 10-6 I took it to work this morning half way down the block my dash showed a car with a key in it and the horn started going off and my signal lights worked like the hazard lights when I turned them on to turn right or left, I had to pull the horn relay to get the horn to stop going off it didn't matter if the car was in motion or not all of the above still happened so I could take it to the dealership to be told that if it wasn't a mistake on their end I would have to pay for it and I have to wait until Tuesday before they could get into it.

Horn has activated randomly for years now, the first instance occurring on or about July, 2013. I have brought the car into the dealership many times for this. Each time they said the door latch was faulty and setting it off. I have had 3 door latches replaced with the most recent being done on 5/2015. In August 2016, the horn started activating randomly again. The dealership said that they found "codes" on the 3 door latches that were already replaced! clearly there is a defect somewhere with the door locks or its electrical components. This poses a severe safety hazard as a child can open the door lock and fall out when the vehicle is moving if the lock is not working.
