    What could make the headlights "pulse" when braking?

    Took the car in yesterday and explained the problem to the dealer rep. He was skeptical about the solution but he did it. Fixed! Thank you! Gregg

    That would be great if I could get it fixed and not have to pay for it! I'll ask, thanks.

    What could make the headlights "pulse" when braking?

    OK, thanks. It will be at the dealer for a recall in a couple weeks so I'll ask them to at least run an electrical test... we'll see what they find. We drove it to Tulsa last night. (I'm not in that car at night very much since it is the wife's car.) I swear her low beams are more yellow/less...

    What could make the headlights "pulse" when braking?

    65 views and my first actual Reply! I was getting worried. I guess the battery itself is the first place to start. Seems like it is electrical somehow. It has started right up every time, even on cold winter mornings. We got it with like 55k on it, the wife just yesterday said she is up to 92k...

    What could make the headlights "pulse" when braking?

    My wife loved her 2013 Mazda3. But then a deer sacrificed himself on the front of her nice red coupe back in AUG 17. We ended up getting her a silver 2013 to replace it. Same hatchback style. Really the only thing different was she decided to go from a stick to an automatic. And it has been a...

    New to us 2013 Mazda3 just came home... seats?

    I'm happy I've had 92 people view this... just sort of surprised that nobody said anything! I guess we are going to go ahead and order the Mazda All Weather floor mats for now. From our sponsor. Those look like rubber which is what we want. But I have no idea yet how to address seat covers.

    New to us 2013 Mazda3 just came home... seats?

    And I'm already thinking of something else to ask... On the CX-9, the cargo tray is a fairly small plastic tray that is just for the area behind the second row of seats. If you fold down the second row, you have their backs just waiting for something muddy to be pushed in. We live on 90 acres...

    New to us 2013 Mazda3 just came home... seats?

    We have a 2011 CX-9 that we bought new. Has 106k trouble free miles on it right now. So when the wife's VW Golf TDI (2004) started to get too old to trust for an everyday commute car, I looked around and decided a Mazda3 Hatchback would be just right for her. We found a great deal on a 2013...

    Reese Class III Hitch Install

    I installed mine last week. There was a gap at first. I kept going back and forth tightening each side. By the end, it was metal on metal. My wife is using it at a dog show right now. With the carrier. She's pleased so far. Someday I'll get the harness installed. The wife told me some dog...

    Reese Class III Hitch Install

    Thanks for trying. My wife needed it installed by the middle of next week. Which means I need to install it this weekend. So I ordered the carrier and other little things from Amazon. And the hitch from Walmart. Supposed to be here Thurs/Fri. It will work. G

    I'm looking it up on walmart.com right now... but I hate paying our stupid 9.5% sales tax!!

    Reese Class III Hitch Install

    Crap. Procrastination rules the day. I kept putting off ordering this from Amazon. Every day I looked at it but then other things happened. I even noticed yesterday it said "Only two left..." but I still didn't order it. I just now clicked on it and it says "Usually ships in One to Two months."...

    Reese Class III Hitch Install

    Mine is a 2011 two wheel drive. The Touring model. When I bought it I told them I wanted to add the towing package and they said that would work. So I _assume_ that means it is appropriate for my model. Ahh, I see what you mean. If you are just going to put the tray on, then the lights on the...

    Reese Class III Hitch Install

    Thank you sir. The wife has talked about getting a cargo carrier before. She is only 5'4" so I think dealing with stuff in a roof rack would be problematic. She's an athletic and strong woman though so I think she can deal with pulling off the carrier and moving it, etc. I guess I will go ahead...

    Reese Class III Hitch Install

    I was going to start my own thread to ask this but you have opened the door, hope you don't mind. My wife takes the CX-9 to dog shows. So my intention when I bought the 2011 was to install the towing option and get the roof rack. Once I saw prices, I never did do either. Now she has a big show...
