I have a 1997 Mazda MPV, need to replace fuse for room light. Perhaps the light needs replacing. I am unable to remove plastic cover. The light is off in the back also. Frank

A replacement will just bolt on. Follow the existing one back and you'll find a plastic cover that should remove. Under that you'll see the wire bolted down.

PVC Valves do not need to be replaced
Never have

99% of them, have been on the valve cover
for at least 40 years

Unless you have a pcv vacuum hose leak
they do nothing, as far a your engine goes

They are there to regulate crankcase fume
evacuation

Need to start studying & stop listening
to all the hype,including repair shops that
sell these things for no reason.

Probable culprit would be the electric solenoid that releases the gear shift linkage when you apply the brake pedal. Since it's electric, a dead battery will cause the same result. Check to see if your brake lights are working. If not try replacing your brake light switch as this also gets power to the above mentioned solenoid.

This is a safety feature to prevent children from accidentally putting a car in gear.

Good luck!

Changing the plugs on the 04 MPV is a pain.

The front three plugs are easy to get to - just remove the black plastic cover over the engin block(3 screws) and they're right there (but deeply recessed in the block).

But you have to remove the manifold to get to the back three plugs. and this kinda sucks. you will need a new manifold gasket set also....... I hope this helps

Battery won't charge, replaced alternator, is there anything that swithes in voltage regulator or alternator?

2003 MPV. Room Fuse would immediately blow when replaced - as a result, no audio, auto doors, interior lights, etc. It would blow without the key in the ignition so I knew it had to be something that operated without the electric being turned on. Started guessing by pulling the fuses for the auto doors then retrying the Room Fuse.. Room Fuse continued to blow. Then went through interior lighting - started taking out bulbs and disconnecting lighting connections trying to isolate the issue.. popped the visor mirrors out and noticed one of the connections had come loose.. reconnected, popped in another Room Fuse, and presto! Everything back to normal - lucky me.

remove plastic cover with small screw driver then bulb

It will be either on the outside with 2 small screws or more likely you need to remove a trim/cover of the top headliner area... If still in doubt goto or phone the dealer and just ask the parts dept person to show it to you...

BTN stands for Body/Tail/iNterior. It protects the HAZARD, ANTENNA, ROOM, STOP, ILLUM and ABS fuses in the cabin fuse box, which in turn protect the hazard lights, antenna, ECU memory, brake lights, tail lights, ABS, power locks, clock, horn, illumination, stereo, HVAC, interior lights and alarm. __________________
