  1. Re: Cruise Control not engaging, possible battery issue?

    There is no reconditioning a battery to 'like-new'. If you're convinced it's due to battery, get a new one!
  2. Re: Installing an Inverter in the trunk (2006 Mazda 3)

    If you're planning on using the 2000W inverter to its max potential, then you're looking at pulling 166A (even pulling 1000W is a ton of power). You won't be doing that off of ANY of the fuse panels,...

    Re: droning sound from engine 1800-2500 rpm

    Could be exhaust hangers getting soft and resonating as well as the resonator in the exhaust working itself in. Unless you've put a CAI in, the air filter won't have any impact on noise. If you can...

    Re: CEL - 02 Sensor Bad?

    Well, it also says your EGR isn't ready either. Since the EGR acts intermittently during driving, its codes can come and go. I'd look into cleaning it or replacing, too.

    You could have a bad Cat,...

    Re: What size battery?

    Based on photos and rock auto, my vote would be with 35. Group 26 is a dinky, little thing.

    Re: 2nd gen transmission mounts under battery

    Huge difference. Kept the transaxle from bumping the frame on hand right-hand highway ramps.
  7. Re: Adjusting hand brake for 2008 Mazda 3 hatch-back

    The self-adjusting mechanism (actuating it 2-3 times) will only bring the pad so close to the rotor...otherwise you'd have too much drag. What I'm trying to say is that your cable has stretched in...

    Re: 2nd gen transmission mounts under battery

    I filled in a used one while in installed in the car; I just put masking tape around to keep it from dripping down below. But make sure you use Urethane...silicone isn't tough enough for this...

    Re: General Questions..

    As for oil change, it really comes down to the oil you use (recommend synthetic only) and your driving habits. There's people here who have oil eaters and others who don't. Monitor it, but I wouldn't...
  10. Re: Adjusting hand brake for 2008 Mazda 3 hatch-back

    The adjusting screw attached to the parking brake mechanism is only used to adjust out cable stretch. All parking brakes in most of automotive history are self adjusting in terms of maintaining the...

    Re: 2nd gen transmission mounts under battery

    The last time I bought a new trans mount, I filled in all of the voids with windshield urethane. Let it cure for at least 24-30hours. It makes the NVH a tiny bit more noticeable but my mount has been...
  12. Re: Manual Gearbox Reverse Gear Half Engages/Does Not Engage? [Video Included]

    You may need to adjust the bias on your shift cables. If you open up the center console around the shifter, you'll see greenish or orange plastic release latches where the shift cables attach to the...

    Re: First Post Help Plz!

    Have you considered doing a fluid swap first? It's cheap to do and fluid is the backbone of A/T operation.
  15. Re: 09-025/14 CRACKING NOISE FROM WINDSHIELD (SD AND HB) AND/OR REAR WINDOW (SD ON

    If you peel back the headliner a little bit, there's two white plastic nubs that are used to locate the rear windshield for OEM assembly. Cut these plastic nubs off with side cutters as low as you...
  16. Re: How to check wiring between key and washer pump/motor switch?

    The wiper motor is probably shot then. It works when there's no load, but as soon as you load it up with the friction of a wiper, then she blows. It's possible that you've had an ingress of water...
  17. Re: Air mode selector "sticking" in couple positions.

    It's possible that you have an obstruction in the actual airway that is blocking a damper from moving. The cables connecting to the knobs may also be kinked or seized. It'll have to come apart,...
  18. Re: Replacing OEM Mazda 3 Rotors and brakes - STUCK but resolved

    I fabricated a customer puller for Mazda rotors that will do up to 14". What a pain the first time around! Use your antiseize on the hub interface !

    Re: Security Light + beep

    If your model uses a physical key to start, Ive experienced a similar issue where my ignition swtich doesn't fully turn back, yet allows me to remove the key.

    You could also try changing the fob...

    Re: Do I need a new accessories belt right now?

    Yeah, it's a pain to change the inner belt because of the a/c belt. The easiest way to remove the old belt is to cut it and replace it (stretch belts are not to be reused). Taking the compressor off...
  21. Re: How to check wiring between key and washer pump/motor switch?

    Well for starters, the fault won't be between your key switch and washer tank. All that's happening is by turning the key on, you're switching on the main power relay which energizes the fuse block...

    How old are these batteries? There's no guarantee that they're ok. Your battery(ies) could have deteriorating plate connections within. Batteries like this go faulty once any bit of current is pulled...

    It's entirely possible that power is being supplied to the lights via his mod. If he already mentioned off the bat that he didn't install a diode to block parisitic current flow, then chances are it...
