Hi. 2010 Mazda 3 GT sedan. Yesterday morning with -19 degree temperature I let the car warm up for a few minutes before driving it. The information screen showed that my rear passenger door was open and the dome light was on. I turned the light off and started driving to work. After about five minutes the information screen went back to it's normal display and the doors all locked. Anybody else experienced anything like this? I'm assuming it's due to the cold weather.

i dont have the display but maybe the door lock is in fact sticking. maybe spray it with some lube and keep an eye on it. or if the car was recently washed as well could do it.

I had this twice last year. Moisture would get in somewhere around the door and cause my light to stay on, once the car warmed up it would go away. No biggie. Just make sure it fixes itself before you stop, otherwise make sure all your lights are turned off and all that

My display screen has been replaced, it randomly gets dim from the top left corner down, the outside temp is unreadable and some pixels are much brighter than others throughout most of the screen and then it goes normal. Happens hot or cold.... I've got to take it back to the dealer the see what else they can do to try and fix it.

Most electronics get delayed when they reach a certain low temperature. I remember I left my cellphone in my car outside during winter and it took a good second or 2 to react to buttons.

You didn't read the post. The title says delayed info screen which yes, happens when its cold like you're saying. However, that wasn't his problem :P

No no I read it. I was just trying to say that electronics and circuits are sometimes affected by the cold weather by slowing down, get errors etc.
