Thanks I do have access to a better reader. As soon as the lights show up again, I will use that reader. If it’s a matter of changing wheel hub, no issues, done that a lot.

Is that user changeable?

Hi Appreciate the advice. I topped off the fluids and no change. But while driving the car yesterday, I hit a pothole, then it sounded like an electrical short then my stereo rebooted, then the warning lights were off. Then I hit another pothole, another electrical Short, then the warning...

Hi The passenger power seat has stopped moving forward and back. It will go up and down just not front to back. Any obvious troubleshooting? Thanks Alex

Hi I had an intermittent issue where the ABS and TCS light would come on. The car would drive fine with the lights on. In the last week they have stayed on. I checked no codes. Any troubleshooting ideas? Appreciate it. Alex

Figured it out. While the instructions dont say this will work for the 2007 model, if you hold the mode button down for 5 seconds you will be presented with a menu. Under an amp submenu there is a fader setting. Looks like as long as you use the factory amp the radio fader controls wont...

Good day I swapped out the OEM radio for a Jensen vx40424 and a PAC RP4-MZ11. Install went fine but the rear speakers are very weak. I have tried to use the fader to push more audio to the rear but that happens is the front and rear get quieter. Audio is coming out of all 4 speakers but...

Where are you located? I just checked car-parts.com and a lot of scrapyards have the complete headlight assemblies available.

Hi I found a 2010 CX-9 with a Bluetooth enabled steering wheel and rearview mirror. Mine 2010 And 2010 stereo looked similar to my 2007. If I pulled out the steering wheel controls and the rearview mirror would they plug into my 2007? How much more work would be required to retrofit my...

Hi, While walking around a scrap yard getting parts for my Dodge Ram I noticed a 2010 CX-9. The rear heat /AC control had a digital control. Mine 2010 So I pulled it and tried to swap it into my 2007. It plugged right in but there doesnt seem to be power going to the display. Either...

Hi I have just experienced the first issue with my 2007 Mazda CX-8. I just noticed that while the radio works fine when I put on the rear defroster it switches to almost 100% static. Ive played around with the rear defrost button and anytime I pressed it the radio immediately becomes...

Wow 65 views and no ideas.

Hi Just noticed that the back up lights on my 2007 dont have any plastic covers over them. Just wondering if thats normal.

Hi My CX9 came with the Bose radio with 6 CD drive. I noticed a used 2007 CX9 OEM nav radio with disc and gps antenna selling for $100. Just wondering if this is a plug and play job? Would a OEM backup camera work with the radio? My goal is to keep the car somewhat stock but get a backup...

So far Ive changed the transmission fluid, coolant, transaxle and rear differential fluid. A bit worried that the transaxle seemed dry and took 1/2 a liter. Im going to check with a local tranny shop about putting in a drain plug so I can change the transaxle fluid more often. Going to...
