Looking forward to seeing what you did! Can you just attach the images within your reply?

In short, is this what you've accomplished with your fix? Clever, clever. I would be very interested in trying this. But to be completely honest, I'm so incredibly swamped right now, that just re-viewing your steps and materials list overwhelmed me. I have not had the time to sit and...

Pasadena, I completely agree that the resistor should have NOTHING to do with how cold the air gets, but, strangely enough, it does in my case. And it's obvious. Very. I recall going on long trips in the summer and it would take like a half-hour for the air to get to peak cold. Then I'd...

** ANOTHER UPDATE ** ok, so soldering lasted 3 FULL YEARS without a glitch until last week. I cleaned the contacts on the blower fan resistor and no flickering for a day or 2. Then, yesterday, I decided to crimp the connectors on the blower fan resistor and see what happens. The light stayed...

Good call! Thanks! I guess I'm just not detailed enough! hahaha. Glad to see the fix works for you. Get back to us in a few days or weeks when you know FOR SURE that it actually worked. THANKS!!

Oh, and Pasadena, I saw your post for another solution and was VERY intrigued! Good stuff and great write-up! Of all the crazy stuff I've opened and tweaked or re-wired, I don't think I'd try your fix just yet. It seems too intimidating for me right now! hehehe. But I book-marked it and...

Pasadena_Commut, I agree, it isn't normal AT ALL. But I am a very logical person. And logic tells me that if crimping the connectors tighter finally solved my issues for several weeks and soldering the wires solved the problem for THREE YEARS (and running), then there MUST be something to it...

***UPDATE*** Hi. I'm the original poster of this "solution" and I'm surprised this thread is still going strong! Here's an update. The "fix" I posted about soldering the wires worked for 3 full years (almost to the day!) until my A/C light started flickering again just a few days ago. Since...

Hi. I had the same problem and believe me when I tell you I changed EVERYTHING under the sun to get my mileage up to no avail. Until my mechanic kept telling me my calipers were frozen and would replace them OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! I said, "It's NOT possible! Are you sure you're...

Yeah, not the problem I'm having, but love you anyway! Thanks!

I can always count on you guys for some good pointers...THANK YOU! I believe the main problem started a few years back when the original alternator went. I had the alternator and battery replaced at the same time. I'm not sure why parts are so ridiculously expensive from Mazda Canada dealers...

Ok, so in the last year, I've gone through several alternators and several batteries. My car was dead today. I have had to replace my battery every year for the last 3 years. I've had AcDelco until today when I got a Duralast. After doing some research on the net, one site states to never...

Alright, thanks guys! I just bought new NGK plug wires and realized someone tried to install these as there was already dielectric grease inside the boots. Now I normally put the grease myself as well, but this just causes more problems on the coil pack end. I cleaned all the dielectric...

Hi. Sorry to bring this up...but am I the only one having problems with spark plug wires slipping off the tapered shaft of the coil packs? Can't get the damn thing to stay on! Just slips right off.... Anybody?

No, I was on the right side of the stage, directly in front of the screen and about 15 feet from front-row. The pushing was everywhere. I was a doorstop for 2 moshes started by the same losers. Then myself and another guy beside me decided to push back! Then I told-off some guys and they...

12 hours?? YIKES! Let's just say it was the longest day of our (me and wife) lives. Drove-in on Friday and got to the show site Sunday morning, 9AM. Never saw so many drunks at a show. Sooo much pushing that my petite wife couldn't take it. Had to strongly warn some drunks against pushing...

Looks like SOOOMEBODY drove to Quebec City to see Rammstein! hehehe, just assuming. I DID! Funny thing...a couple of days later, MY ABS light came on! I drove about 15 km then made a pit-stop. When I re-started the car, the ABS light stayed off...as I knew it would. Stupid glitch! So...no...

I had the same issue last year. You need to have a resistor pack replaced. It's located behind the glove box. I guess you can do it yourself but I believe you'll have to get the pack from Mazda. Don't remember the pricing...

Not sure if we're talking the same tick...but I had a tick that behaved the same as yours. It was a lifter tick caused by some guy adding a liter too much oil! The excess oil foamed and filled the cylinder chamber. I removed the spark plugs and also noticed a drop of oil near the electrode of...
