I had my 2000 Mazda MPV jump started after I left my lights on and killed the battery. The next day my radio and speedometer are not working and I have to manually shift my car to get it moving and it seems to not shift into 3rd gear. I also have to manually get my car out of park through a spot on the steering column. I am hoping it is not an electrical issue...any suggestions?

check the timing belt

You have burned out the vehicle's controls modules, call your insurance company, they should cover this type of unfortunate mistake.

Make sure to check the engine compartment fuses and the inside fusebox, if all the fuses look good then try to unhook the battery and then connect it back on and start the van and see if this helps. the radio is it asking for a code, if this radio has antitheft then you will need to install the code to make it work, look at manual and it will tell you how to do this. the code is entered using the preset staition buttons, there should be a card in the glovebox with the radio code if it has antitheft. if you find no bad fuses then you may have short out the cluster jumping it, but most of the time it just needs a fuse or reseting by removing neg battery terminal for about 2min, good day let me know the outcome.

Hello your speed sensor is malfunctioning this is connected to your speedometer.this is usually located on the top of your transmission 10mm 0r 3/8 bolt single plug this will restore your vehicle speedometer.

Sounds like the starter motor has gone out, replace it.

well first what cause the starter to burn , will that was a problem why it would not start from first, but now after installing the new starter it should work , are you sure you battery is good now after installing the new starter. reply

The battery may have took the charge,but if the battery went down,the computer lost some memory,the dealer will have to re flash the computer.Also check the charging system just in case it is not doing it`s job,sounds more like the alternator is not charging,or not charging enough.Let me now how you come [email protected]

yes it could be the starter next time it won't start give the starter motor a tap with a hammer or wheel brace also check where the small blade connector is there should be a fuse in line could be the problem hope this helps regards Jim
