Mazda Tribute front and cabin lights turn on every 60 seconds while parked on Mazda Tribute

Some Mazda Tribute owners report experiencing issues with their front and cabin lights turning on every 60 seconds while parked, which may indicate a problem with the door light switch or the interior light control system. This intermittent lighting can be caused by a broken or misadjusted door light switch. Additionally, malfunctioning automatic lights, particularly the front low-light sensor, may lead to unexpected light activation. Owners may also find that if the interior lights turn on with the switch in the "on" position but not in the "door" position, the switch itself could be faulty. An internal short in the multifunction alarm module is another potential cause for this issue. Troubleshooting steps include checking for burned-out bulbs if the turn signal indicator flashes faster than usual, and investigating potential fuse or wiring issues if the lights can be manually activated but still turn on intermittently. If problems persist, consulting a mechanic for a thorough inspection is recommended.
