    Farewell to the 5

    Congrats on the new ride! I’m missing my 5. My sister has had him for 3 months after totaling her 2017 Accord. I offered him up as temporary transportation. I’ve been driving my other cars, and didn’t realize how much I enjoyed driving him as a daily.

    Favorite Feature: Cool inside!

    I leave it on 68 as well! I installed the OEM remote start. Love that feature as well!

    Favorite Feature: Cool inside!

    My Great Dane and Labradoodle enjoy the power of the rear fan [emoji3]. The 5 has been a great vehicle. The auto climate control works perfectly as well. In my Lexus I’m always having to raise or lower the temp.

    Light Wiring Gauge

    14 or 16. It’s been a while since I’ve messed with mine. I know they aren’t 10 or 12. (Sorry I’m not more helpful)

    Looking to buy a 2010 - 2015 Mazda 5, need advice before purchasing

    Love my 2012 Touring. I bought it a year and a half ago with 27K miles. I paid $12,500 back then. The smiley face front end took a while to grow on me...I have the silver with black interior. My ideal would be a grand touring because I prefer leather and heated mirrors. I changed out the head...

    Half a horn after dead battery?

    Sounds weird, I know. I didn't drive the 5 for about a week while enjoying the brief top-down weather in the convertible. When I tried starting the 5 battery was too drained to turn over the starter. Jumped it off no problem, but in the 3 weeks since the horn sounds like it's got 1/2 the voltage...

    Guide CX-5 Factory Remote Starter - Install and Program

    You are correct [emoji1]. This entire debate has been covered in the 5 forum at length. Tapatalk app pulled up the conversation in my feed for some reason and I responded without looking at the forum title. Never looked at the CX-5 forum before. Glad to know this debate isn't just with the...

    Guide CX-5 Factory Remote Starter - Install and Program

    I installed the OEM remote start a couple of months ago. Straightforward install I enjoyed. I don't like having an extra fob on my keyring, but that's inevitable. I'm glad I went with the OEM, but also glad I read this thread during my prepurchase research. I opted to not connect the kill...

    Anyone Get The Lift Gate Strut Recall Fix Yet?

    I'm not a dealership person myself. I perform all my own maintenance and repairs when I can, but I looked at the recall as Mazda taking responsibility for poor design and I'll gladly allow them to pick up the repair cost over me. Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

    Anyone Get The Lift Gate Strut Recall Fix Yet?

    I was surprised my dealer had them in stock after reading about the shortages everywhere. I'm in Little Rock, AR. I see quite a few 5's around, but we may not have the volume in our region as others. Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

    Anyone Get The Lift Gate Strut Recall Fix Yet?

    Had my struts replaced this week. Received 2nd notice from Mazda last week, called McClarty Mazda and they had them in stock. I dropped it off Monday after work and they called at 8:15 Tuesday morning saying it was ready. They also washed and vacuumed it prior to me picking it up. I can actually...

    Fog light switch option

    Do you need help with wiring diagram, or were you strictly looking for a switch? I haven't seen the switches in the pic you posted. I like the look of them, but they wouldn't match the color of my dash lights. I wish the 2012's still used red :(

    2012 mazda5 door locks don't work , please help

    Check this link out: http://www.mazdastuff.com/MS-2012-5-Touring-Lock-Hardware-p/cg36-58-310a-338997.htm Looks like list price is $149.23 Based on the diagrams it doesn't look as though the lock actuator is part of the door lock assembly, and not an individual replaceable part. (Miss the old...

    Anyone Get The Lift Gate Strut Recall Fix Yet?

    Haven't received notification from Mazda. I ran my VIN and Mazda website confirmed it was in the recall. Site stated solution for repairs not ready. I was first alerted to the recall from the following story. It states Mazda will notify customers in September and October, but as stated I...

    Aftermarket LED DRL's ('12-'15)

    I looked into those DRLs, but took a different route. I bought some weatherproof halos off Amazon ($15 I believe). They were the same diameter as the OEM Fogs, so I surface mounted them with 3M tape and made my own wiring harness. I wish I would have wired it so they turn off when the low beam...
