    Strange headlight voltage issue

    Strange headlight voltage issue

    After replacing a headlight bulb (passenger-side) yesterday, I'm suddenly getting some strange behaviour from my headlights. Here is what I'm seeing now: Lo-beam setting: driver's side low-beam normal. Pass-side low-beam only half power. Both high-beam bulbs on at low power. Hi-beam setting...

    Alarm going off randomly

    I've searched around and not seen this anywhere... The factory alarm on our 08 Mazda5 GT has started going off randomly when locking/unlocking/opening/closing doors. It's been a sporadic thing up to now, but today it went crazy. First, the key fob wouldn't lock the car, then when I opened...

    Disable AC compressor on Defrost setting

    This is one of the "features" of new-ish cars that I HATE: the A/C compressor is automatically enabled anytime the car is put in defrost mode. If I'm not mistaken, our P5s have this feature as well... So today I found this fix for 2001+ Miatas and wondered if the P5 setup is similar. Anyone...

    New stereo install popping ROOM fuse

    Ok, so I hooked up the grounds properly and I'm still popping the fuse (I'm collecting quite the pile of blown fuses!) ... I'm going to pull the whole harness out tonight and inspect everything again to make sure all the connections are good... Would someone be able to point me to a pinout...

    New stereo install popping ROOM fuse

    Hey folks, I just installed my new stereo and am having a problem with the wiring harness. As soon as I connect the wiring harness to the factory plug, the ROOM fuse pops and I get no power to the stereo. Before I go ripping stuff out and checking voltages and such, have you any thoughts on...

    Mazda6 Joins Our Mazda5

    I's sad to report that my Mazda6 was totalled a few weeks ago. Sigh. On the upside, I replaced it on Christmas Eve with a low-mileage 2003 Protege5... :D

    Planning to buy a Protege5 - What should I look for?

    I'm about to buy a Protege5 to replace my totalled Mazda6... I was wondering if you folks could share what P5-specific problems I should be on the lookout for as I shop around this week... Thanks!

    ms6 aftermarket head units

    I'm pretty happy with the eX-10 setup right now. Eventually, I'll put an aux in - but since I have an 04, it's a bit of a pain. The FM modulator actually works REALLY well ever since I removed the external antenna. ;)

    ms6 aftermarket head units

    When they say "full control" that includes full playlist, podcast, artist, genre, etc?

    ms6 aftermarket head units

    Batou: I haven't seen one that allowed iPod "control" from the stock head-unit. Here in Ontario, we are no longer allowed to hold (and thus control) our iPods while driving - but we can fiddle with the dash radio all we like. Using the eX-10 is technically against the law, but I have a better...

    Tail-light conversion...

    My wife prefers the 2006-07 tail-lights over our 08 tail-lights. If I can find a pair, will they just bolt and plug-in without modification?
