I found the service manual. Looks like a big process to get the inside panels off. And I'm still not sure if I will be able to access the dropped cable once I do that! I may try it weather permitting. Would like to get this fixed before winter!

The fuel door was not clicking shut on my 2007 Mazda5. I found the problem. One of the two pins in the fuel door latch was not extending to grab the door when closed. It was stuck inside the housing. I figured a little lubricant would fix it up. I took off the retaining nut and lubricated the...

My 2006 Tribute (33k miles) has a lot of rattling underneath when hitting bumps. It sounds like plastic hitting and I can't tell which direction it is coming from. I don't have access to a lift and don't feel like going to a mechanic if I can help it. Where should I start my investigation? Is...

I have a 2007 Mazda5 with 67k miles. This is driven every day on roads with awful potholes. (No other way to get to work!) The struts were all blown out. I just replaced all 4 struts (with KYB brand) and sway bar links. The vehicle drives like new again, but still squeaks from each corner when...

Just a heads up to everyone - this worked without a problem on my 2007 Mazda5 Next I will be trying my 2006 Tribute. Anyone had luck with that?

Davicho - looking at doing this with my 2007 Mazda5. Have any Mazda5-specific pointers that are not included in this thread?

I would like a way to have an aux input on my 2007 Mazda 5. Does anyone have experience with devices such as this? It's highly reviewed, but I don't know if it's a 10-hour process to install the thing. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002U5XPBE/?tag=m20b7-20

I have a 2007 Mazda5, and there is a large plastic cowl underneath the front end. When I hit bumps, I hear something rattle, and it sounds like plastic, so I think this cowl is loose. I put the 5 up on a hydraulic jack, but it wouldn't go high enough for me to get a good look at how this cowl...

I'll have to take it out at 45mph + and listen very closely for changes. Is there any visual indicator on the display when the volume changes?

I am a new owner of a 2007 Mazda5 Touring. It has "ALC" (automatic level control) on the sound system, but it doesn't seem to make a difference whether I have it to off, 1, 2, or 3. Could there be a problem with this? Or does it really only kick in at high speeds? (Haven't done much high speed...

New 2007 5 owner here. I'm probably missing the obvious here, but what are these plugs for? They were in the glove box when I bought the car. And for the life of me, I can't figure out what part of the car I'm looking at in the diagram!

Hello. I recently bought a 2007 Mazda5 Touring with automatic transmission. I live in upstate New York (Syracuse area), and we get a decent amount of snow. Would I be crazy not to put snowtires on the 5? It has brand new all-seasons from the dealer. I found a set of 4 wheels and Blizzak on...

Hello. I just bought a 2007 Mazda5 Touring. Seems like a great car so far. I planned on getting something with a V6, but this vehicle has what I needed (6 seats) and decent gas mileage too. The engine is decent, but I was wondering if there are any EASY and INEXPENSIVE (< $100) things I can do...

Thanks guys! I found some blank switchblades on eBay, item #300459333027 (When I paste a link to the auction, it doesn't work!) I just ordered two keys. I think I will get 2 and try to program the 3rd myself after the dealer programs the 2nd one (replacement #1). I look forward to learning...

I just drove my new (to me) 2007 Mazda5 home from the dealer. He only had 1 switchblade key. If I am reading this thread correctly, since I only have 1 key, I HAVE to go to a dealer to get a 2nd one. Is this right? I initially thought I could just get a key cut without a FOB, but people were...
