The reason is that modern cars have so much electronic stuff, for example the door monitor locking system is always on, and so are many other things. If your car is frequently left standing then get a charger that hooks up to the mains electricity. I have the same problem with my vehicles,
Have you cleaned the MAF sensor? I'd do that next. Ford should be able to find that problem though with a diagnostic.
Some dealers have good service and repair.....others not too good. don-ohio
INSTALLING NEW BATTERY.WHEN DISCONNECTING BATTERY CABLES THE ECM WILL LOSE IDLE CONTROL MEMORY.TAKE TO MAZDA DEALERSHIP LET THEM RESET ECM SO CAR WILL IDLE STOP STALLING AT STOPS.
In a 2006, most likely a fuse. I saw one with a failed fuse just a week ago.
If it turns out to be the actuator, they are not difficult to replace, though it takes some time to remove and carefully replace the door panel. Disconnect the battery several minutes before unplugging the air bag if you want to pull the door panel completely out of your way, and DON'T connect the battery and check to see if the new one works while the air bag is unplugged.
As a simple preliminary test, try disconnecting the battery before you let the car stand for a while and see if it will start when reconnected. (If this will not affect radio codes and alarm systems). This will give you an idea if it is the battery or something in the car that is draining the battery.
Check the water in the battery, If it is full disconnect the negative cable and wait a week to see if it is dead. After a good charge if so bad battery. If not bike has a drain on it. Most new bikes have a very small drain and if the battery is not in good shape it will kill it.
You have overcharged the power to the cars on board computer and confused it. Remove both battery connections and leave to stand overnight preferably, this in most cases resets the computer and will turn the lights off.
The thing is once you triggered them the computer is told to not turn them off without the help of a dealer. Removing the power source from the computer for a short time wont do anything as the car has a small battery within the ECU to keep it going, 24hrs is normally enough.
the battery may be shorted out. do you have a meter to check a batteries condition? if not take the battery into the parts store and they can tell you if it has a dead short in it which means the plates inside the battery have sulphated together and wont allow current to pass through them. lead acid batteries are real bad about this if they go completly dead even if they are newer batteries.
are you sure the alternator is good? because it could be tricky ...The only other thing is the wire running back to battery pack to charge battery maybe disconnected
