2010 Mazda6. Door lites sometimes stay on after door is closed. Sometimes they go in even when parked in garage after a few hours. Anyone have any info as to what to do?

Could be a sensor that is sticking or not making good contact.Spray some DW-40 into the door latch mechanism.Open and close the door several times while you watch the door ajar light.If everything is working,the light should remain “off” when the door is closed.
