My A/C started making noise and not working all the time. There's a noise when the A/C is OFF and a somewhat similar noise when it's running. There is cold air when it's working. I took pressure readings and it fluctuates between about 15-45 on the low side when cycling off/on and I think...

I had the clutch replaced this last spring/summer at a private repair shop that I've used a number of times. A couple days ago, my wife couldn't get the car started and thought the battery was dead. It wasn't. The clutch switch was not being actuated when the clutch pedal was pressed to the...

I made some strips of LED lights that I want to add under the dash and seats of my Mazda 5. I'm going to try and tap into the dome/door light switch and also want to add a switch on the dash to turn these LEDs on. Has anyone found any functioning switches that can be inserted where those dummy...

We've had dead battery problems the past couple months. The battery is not that old (Jan 2010), but it's been dead often for my wife. A quick charge of the battery gets it going again for a week or more and then it's dead again. She said sometimes when she's shut it off, the blue high-beam...

I just purchased a used 2006 Mazda 5 a couple weeks ago. I noticed that there are no lights in the buttons for the radio and at night, it's impossible to see what buttons are what. I'm sure there are lights in there that just aren't working, but there isn't a Mazda dealer real close to me and I...

I searched the forum and found hundreds of transmission and clutch questions, but must not have used the correct search terms since I didn't find an answer to my specific question. Just picked up a used 2006 Mazda5 with manual transmission and 100K miles on it. Is it OK to upshift without...

I will hopfully be picking up a 2006 Mazda5 sport today. It's black, with black leather and heated seats, Navigation system, 5-speed, sunroof and 100K mi. I've owned more than 35 cars in my lifetime, but this is the first Mazda. I'll be searching the forum for all things related to Mazda5 and...
