    Shudder on braking - 2012 Mazda 5 sport

    warped rotors can be caused by a defect or wear but if your rotors have less than 15,000km on them your calipers may be seizing and causing dragging and unnecessary heat. Make sure the caliper is working, and the slider pins are smooth and not pitted, or rusty. Or they will just warp again.

    What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

    use a autostart/prostart/nordicstart type remote starter + keyinterface module + TR-7 module. or a viper type remote starter + key interface module. The idea is to take 3 +12volt lock pulses within 4 seconds, as a signal for the remote starter to start. Viper has this within the...

    I know this is a little old. but My 2007 had the harness and plugs for the heated seats in the front of the centre console (underwhere the blank switch blocks are). Didn't look under the seat for other wiring. But those plugs supplied ignition power for the seats. Made it easier to install.
