You really should be posting this in the 2nd gen section...

1. The driver's side lock doesn't work anymore, the key won't go in and when it does it won't turn.
|
The lock cylinder is fucked.
The lock cylinder needs to be replaced.
Last time I checked, it's $30 - $40 from the Mazda dealer and another $20 - $30 to rekey to your key.
(It might cost more now.)

2. The right side exterior door handle won't open the door.
|
Door handle is broken.
It needs to be replaced.
There's a write-up on the evil forum on using safety wire and drilling holes, but I find it too much of a pain.
Good, used replacement handles abound in the classifieds and eBay.

3. The sunroof won't open. I push the button and the motor tries to open but its like it gets stuck.
|
Sunroof assembly / linkage(s) are most likely corroded and stuck.
Either unstuck yours or get a replacement assembly.

4. The wipers only work on one setting.
|
Typical problem due to bad relays in the wiper cluster switch.

5. The reverse lights won't come on.
|
Typical problem due to bad cold solder joints in the "CPU".

6. The driver door window gets stuck half way up. I have to push forward on the backside of the window to get it to go the rest of the way up.
|
Slight misalignment of the glass - by realigning the glass window, this should make the glass move easier in the track.
If I remember correctly, loosen window glass mount and tilt the front portion down.
