Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly. Actually if there is mildew in the system it takes a serious cleaning of the evaporator coil and near by plastic housing / ducting to get rid of the smell. Mildew usually starts forming on the evaporator coil and compartment when the compartment drain gets to be really slow from debris or a dust clog. You can try filters and air fresheners but all they will do is mask the mildew odor. Once the mildew routine starts the only real fix is a serious cleaning of the evaporator coil, compartment and nearby air ducting. Often it takes a good mild and mildew remover to get rid of the problem completely. The evaporator compartment will for sure have to be opened up. If a service shop is going to do the cleaning job correctly they will most likely pump out the freon in the AC system and remove the evaporator coil for proper cleaning. It is not a cheap fix as it is labor intensive and requires the AC system to be drained and re-serviced. Demand that they clean the compartment drain during the cleaning process. My comments are what it really takes to purge the mildew from the AC system correctly. Your call as to fix it or live with it.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to year model category. Check the Automatic Transmission level, but you may have solenoids that are failing. It has known transmission issues. https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+Mazda+3.+The+transmission+goes+into+2nd+gear+when+I+start+in+the+mornings ..

Usually the wire is Black with a red stripe or could be white stripe

yes it can

Your problem is electrical. Need to take it to a repair shop and have it checked out.

I had that, got a new unit from incurance company scrapyard for $80, changin it was $20 and when opening the old one (the knob is a potentiometer) there was just excess oil between contact surfaces... Local M dealer gave me an estimate of $1500+job

there are error codes so the scanner in use is not compatible with Mazda protocol

Pretty much got to be starter related. Loose connection at starter. Bad solenoid. Brushes in starter. Rap the starter with a hammer and see if the engine will turn over after that. If it does, you've found your problem.

Best Manuals Visit the on-line store, known as reliable-store, they have the repair manuals. I'm sure you will get the solution of your problem.

That looks like some internal issue, try reaching the wiring systems. You can try getting a manual for your model here. They also sell wiring diagrams I guess. Here's the link Best Manuals All the best !

have the fault codes read first and the solution to the problem will be in the codes

is it a clicking noise when ur turning a corner if so its your cv

Go to autozone or orielly etc they read the computer for free.

It's possible but not likely. Check for damage to wheel speed sensors. Also check brake fluid level in reservoir.
