There are two ways to interpret that. No power, it is sluggish, won't accelerate and only does 50mph. No power, it has no 12 volt power and is completely-dead-. Check for DTC Codes.

A lack of power in a 2005 Mazda Tribute could stem from various issues. Here are a few potential causes to consider: Battery: If there's no power at all, start by checking the battery. A dead or faulty battery could prevent the car from receiving any power. Check the battery connections for corrosion or looseness. Alternator: The alternator charges the battery while the engine is running. If the alternator is faulty, it might not be providing enough power to the car's electrical system. This could result in a loss of power. Ignition Switch: A faulty ignition switch could prevent power from reaching essential systems in the car, leading to a complete loss of power. Fuses and Relays: Check the fuses and relays related to the vehicle's power system. A blown fuse or a malfunctioning relay could disrupt power flow to various components. Starter Motor: If the starter motor fails, it might prevent the engine from starting, resulting in a complete loss of power. Fuel System: Insufficient fuel supply due to a clogged fuel filter or a faulty fuel pump could cause the car to lose power. Electrical Issues: Wiring problems, such as damaged or corroded wires, could interrupt power supply to critical components. Given the broad range of possible causes, diagnosing the specific issue might require a professional mechanic's assistance. A thorough inspection and diagnostic test using specialized equipment can pinpoint the exact cause of the power loss in your Mazda Tribute.
