So today I drove my car all day and everything was going fine. Tonight, after coming back home I turned it off and I noticed that my lights were still on even if they were in off position and the key was out. So I tried to engage the alarm and the alarm armed but the lights stayed on.
I thought maybe she needs some time but by the time I came back(15 minutes) they were still on.

So I decided to unhook the battery since eveything I tried was not working.

After reconnecting the battery the lights were off but after few second I got the horn to scream like a maniac without interruption, no intermitting noise. I tried to push all the remote buttons, I closed all the door and tried all possible solutions 3 times.

Then I toke out the alarm manual and I reached for the emergency cut off switch. So i reconnectes the battery, inserted the key and puch cut off button: nothing the car was screaming like crazy and it would not start.

Then I decided to just reconnect the battery again and just turn the ignition on before the horn will sound again. Nothing the car would not start.

I cannot drive it, I do not know what is the problem and i was wondering if you guys think that it might be the alarm and if there is something that I can try so that I can drive it to mazda and not having to tow it.

By the way, If I tow it, will mazda pay for towing.

This car has always a problem and so far has been to the shop an average of 2 days a week.

Please help

It's a bad alarm module. They'll just replace it at the dealer.

Maybe it misses the shop and wants to go back.
