    P0705 Cel

    Guess I am joining the rank here. 03 AT light flashed while at the on-ramp of highway. CEL came on as well. Trans won't go into 4th while AT light flashed. When it shifted into 4th after 30 seconds, AT light went off, but CEL stayed on. Can someone who know what this neutral switch looks...

    Is it just me? The Protege5 goes thru headlight bulbs like its food

    I am all stock. It was going through bulbs every 6 months with Sylvania Silverstar. I went to GE regular and it was about 9 months. Since then I have switched to the $9.99 (per bulb) regular Phillips from Meijer and I just had to replace the passenger bulb last week, but it lasted 4 years...

    Why Is It Called The "MP3" ?

    Makes sense. Hence the mp3 gets Racing Hart wheels just like the Mazdaspeed that came later.

    The definitive bulb size guide.

    I replaced my bulbs there a couple of years ago. I think it takes two bulbs, but don't quote me. It is dim because of the orange condom on the bulbs and I replaced mine with amber 194, a little brighter, a little more orange matching the factory stereo. I was not a fan of the red cluster...

    The definitive bulb size guide.

    What about heat dissipation and the life of the bulb? On exterior lights, I have heard of the 194/W5W bulb socket being melted. Brighter light is good, melted socket is not. Also, for the instrumental cluster, I read that W5W is not recommended because of the shorter bulb life meaning you...

    Side marker light

    I just took mine out today, and the way to do it is to slide the unit towards the back of your car and it should release. I did not use a screw driver, but if that helps, use it. There is instruction in the owner's manual as well (for my Pro5 that is, not sure about MSP).

    Looking to buy a protege, what should i know/look for?

    Others have said most already. While I agree that you should inquire about the timing belt since you are in a good place to negotiate, the 2.0L is a non-interference engine, meaning if it breaks, you will get stranded, but won't be "disastrous for your engine" as to bent valves. There is a...

    Michigan drivers will love this!

    Sorry for raising a dead thread, but freaking DETROIT road just put a nail in my left rear tire on my way back to Cincy. The tire was smoking by the time I pulled into a gas station. Right before the holiday and I was out more money and stranded in Flat Rock (still within Wayne County)!
