    Interior Light Problem

    Hey All, I have an interesting problem with my 2006 Mazda5. When I open any door the dome light over the second row comes on as expected but the map lights in the front row do not. If you press the button for each of the map lights they also come on as expected so the problem is not the bulbs...

    Factory Tint Levels

    Does anyone know the level of tint the 5 comes from the factory with? I need to keep the windows above 35% and therefore need to know what level of tint to purchase. Thanks in advance!

    AC sterilizer

    In a couple of cars I've dealt with there's been a provision to spray some sterilizer into a small hole that will "clean" the AC out and make it smell less musty. Any one heard of such a thing on a 5? This is something I actually miss a Haynes manual for :)

    Radio Code

    This has been bugging me for a while but I can't find mention of it anywhere. I purchased my 2006 M5 GS used. So the dealer didn't tell me: Is there a code I need to be aware of for my factory radio if I disconnect the battery? Thanks in advance

    Pedal Cover Replacement Suggestions

    Summer or All-Season

    Hi to all, I'm doing some research on tires for my Mazda5 GS. I currently have the stock Toyo 205/55R16 on the factory rims and I have a set of Goodyear winter tires on steel. I'm looking to replace the Toyo's in the near future with another set of 205/55R16's but I'm wondering if I should get...

    Winter Issues

    I wasn't quite sure where to put this but here we go. Winter finally hit here where I live and some things have come up with my 5. 1.) Ever since it's been constantly below 0C (32F) my suspension creaks on all four corners. It's not consistent though. I can go over some small speed bumps with no...

    Replacement for fog lamps

    So I'm out cleaning the windows and replacing the wipers on my 5 GS today and I get to thinking "Those fog light housings sure aren't very aerodynamic are they?" It begs the question: Is there a drop in part that will fill that cavity so that it's smooth(er) than the divot for the fog light...

    Rain-X Question

    I couldn't find anything by searching but is it safe to apply Rain-X to the side rear-view mirrors on a 5? I'm used the heated mirrors on my old car and I need to do something since the mirrors on my 5 frost up pretty good.

    Block Heater Plug Location

    Hi Folks, I just picked up a used 2006 Mazda5 and since I know it was originally a lease within Canada I can almost guarantee that there's a block heater in it somewhere. The question is: where is the plug? Any suggestions for where to begin looking are appreciated.
