CX-5 2013 Headlights and Rear lights start blinking all of a sudden when parked

[athique]

Greetings,
I am facing an unusual problem in my CX5 (2013) . While the vehicle is parked and switched off completely after 15 - 30 minutes the lights start blinking (headlights and rear lights) and this continues and sometimes happens after 2 -3 hrs (sporadic).

Initially the anti theft alarm used to sound and now for the last 4-5 days its only the blinking of lights that is noticed.

Any feedback and advise will be appreciated.

Battery is likely going dead

Battery is brand new, had it replaced couple of weeks back.

Battery is brand new, had it replaced couple of weeks back.

The problem started after the replacement?

Was there prior to replacing the battery

Does the car have an aftermarket alarm and/or remote start system? Maybe with it's own keyfob?

Have you tried replacing the batteries in the OEM or aftermarket keyfob?

No aftermarket stuff in my car, as is orginal state since purchase.

FOB has new battery, Mazda Service center replaced the driver side lock assembly.

Post this if i keep the auto light on (Inside the Car) it suddenly lights up , i have switched to off mode now to prevent battery drain.
Now i have ended up with a bigger problem.

Possibly a defective new battery? Or a wiring issue (maybe rodents are chewing away at your wiring)?

I would certainly look into the wiring issue before jumping to changing the transmission as suggested in your other thread.
