Mazda protege with no dashlight on.

lost connection behind the dash work the connectoer around a bit see if it works then check ground wires..

Do not hook a wire from the dashlight to the headlight. Headlights draw large amounts of current and the wiring for dashlights is not larg enough to handle headlight draw and will start a fire!

electrical dudes says stop puting fuses in it now/// over time more stuff gets injured by exsesive heat look for any thing new some one has installed eg . stereo check trunk for damage in the corners near tailights and front marker light

THE JUMPER CABLES WERE OF A TOO LIGHT OF GUAGE WIRE. THERE SHOULD BE A BATTERY FUSE LOCATED IN THE FUSE BOX IN THE DRIVERS SIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

The player or radio coming out should have a sticker on it with a diagral. If not, the only two you need to worry about is the red and bla. They are the hot and grd. and are larger than the speaker wires. Get those two hooked up, put in a cd and turn it on. Then match up the speaker outputs to the correct speaker. Should be only one wire per speaker. If not, All speaker grounds are the same color and markings. Good Luc, Ned

Scan PCM for codes. Check that timing is correct again.These DOHC engines are easy to install a tooth out. Start from the top of engine when installing timing belt on this type of engine it's the easiest way to do it. If you took CRANKSHAFT pulley apart make sure the pick up ring behind isn't placed in backwards.

you might want to check the battery voltage if you have a battery going bad on you this would cause all the symptoms due to not enough voltage in the system.

just remove the glove box and its right behind it just take the white pug out and the two phillips screws to remove the resistor out, replace with the new one and cool off!!!! Hope this helps

Sounds like a wiring over load try rerouting the wires for cd player by running the hot wire to the battery and relocate the ground wire make sure the ire has enough amps and theres a inline fuse.
