a battery waring ligth is not telling you that the battery is defective, it is telling u that the battery is not being charged by the alternator, have the battery and alternator tested to determine th4e cause, a failing battery many times can damage the alternator as it causes it to overheat, so if the alternator is in need of replacing then it is very important that the battery be fully charged and tedsted prior to installing a new alternator if indeed that is the final diagnosis.

Sounds like the timing unit which automatically turns off your dome lights after a few minutes is working backwards. Probably need a new unit.

The key is tied to the computer which controls the engine. Apparently the key you are using needs to be reprogrammed to the computer. The dealer can do this for you.

I can think of 2 possibles,it could be a bad battery cable or an intermitent short in the starter solenoid, check or have the battery cables and there connections on both ends first not only are they a cheaper fix but the problem you describe sounds like a current flow issue.Test them with or have them tested with an ohmmeter they should show o ohms resistance,and while not attributed to the problem I do not reccomend using Bosch spark plugs of any variety,the best plugs for any Japanese vehicle are NGK's,this comes from my personal experience with them and other techs that I have worked with.

If you have drum brakes in back instead of disc brakes, that could be your problem. Very common noise with drums. Pads, springs, could be sticking, or pistons if it is disc brakes

it is a dirty throttle plate. $280 is an absolute ripoff for a cleaning, it is about 10-15 minutes of work. They are probably quoting replacing the throttle body which about a $150 part.

Got to Autozone and get "CRC Throttle Body Cleaner". Remove aire inlet hose at throttle body with a screwdriver. Spray a *small* bit onto throttle plate, use clean rag or qtips to remove gum/varnish. Spray pivots and also clean around perimeter of the plate. Take it to an independent mechanic if you are unsure of the procedure.

use a extension coupling and a another 6-10inch hose and this time use rubber cement for connections

there should be a release lever on side or front

You have to pull forward on the belts located at the bottom of the seat while pushing the lever on top of the seat to lower it. Make sure to take off head-rests or the seats won't lay flat. Its almost like pulling the bottom cushion off in a forward motion, Hope it helps

Hi there. depending on the outside temperature of where you live , you may encounter this problem. If the temperature goes below -1 C , there is a chance that the tire pressure light will go on. This is because the pressure in the tires decrease in cold temperatures and will increase when it gets warmer. I had this problem with my vehicle too and when the temperature warmed up today the light finally went off.

First I'd access the Mazda dealer. If they can't identify the part or supply one, check with the aftermarket supply businesses. Best thing will be to take pictures of the part. You can also access many online sources and diagrams to identify the part and perhaps then to find it from a supplier. If all else fails I'd access the wrecking yards especially the online ones and the self service ones. This may be a part that is not just on one model or model year. Last resort might be to find someone who can 3-D or otherwise print a new one for you. If it looks like a rather simple item you may be even able to make one yourself. What the item is made of may not be the material it has to be made of.
