What is the reason why the Mazda6's hazard lights don't flash when locking the car?
2 Answers
Possible reasons include the rubber switches on each door, front hood, and trunk. In some cases, these switches may fall off or age, resulting in poor contact. This can cause the vehicle to not receive the switch sensor signal even when all doors are properly closed, preventing the hazard lights from flashing when locking the car. Here are some additional details: 1. Body dimensions: The Mazda6 is a mid-size car under the Mazda brand. It has a wheelbase of 2675mm, with length, width, and height measurements of 4670mm, 1780mm, and 1435mm respectively. 2. Powertrain configuration: This model is equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 147 horsepower and a maximum torque of 183 Nm. The engine's maximum power is achieved at 6500 rpm, and the maximum torque is available at 4000 rpm. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed automatic transmission.
My old Mazda 6 had a similar issue before. Actually, when the hazard lights don't flash during locking, the most common cause is a blown fuse. I remember spending hours troubleshooting only to find that the 15A mini fuse in the engine compartment fuse box had turned black. Replacing it fixed the problem immediately. But be careful - if the new fuse blows again shortly after replacement, it indicates a possible short circuit in the wiring, and you'll need to check areas like the door wiring harness. Also, a faulty body control module could prevent signals from being transmitted, though this is relatively rare. The simplest approach is to first check the fuse location - the Mazda 6's fuse box is located at the lower left side of the driver's seat. Remember to disconnect the battery before working on it for safety. If you can't figure it out, it's better to have a professional mechanic check the trouble codes with a diagnostic tool.
