Hello,
I am new to this forum but am hoping someone could give me some ideas of how to troubleshoot the issue I am having.
About the vehicle:
2013 cx-5 sport
58k miles
Fwd/ manual transmission
No prior electrical problems or dash lights on
Did just have the pcm programming recall done on it 2-3 weeks ago and had no issues.
Today's Issue:
I was out running errands when I noticed my start/stop button was flashing orange. I read somewhere that it could be due to it not completing a cycle, and So I tried shutting the engine off and restarting it. The flashing went away so I shut down the engine and went into the store. Maybe a half hour later, I got back to the vehicle, used the fob to unlock the doors, and the hatch door would not open. I tried using the unlock button on the driver door, and that did nothing either. I started the vehicle and upon pushing button on the hatch a couple times, it opened. At this time the orange light on the start/stop button was back to flashing.
I drove to the next store, shut off the engine and was inside for about 45 minutes. I then came out to find my vehicle making a clicking sound under the hood. I popped the hood and found the sound to be coming from right side of the engine but could not pinpoint where exactly. I started the vehicle, the sound stopped and the start/stop was not flashing.
Upon getting home and shutting the vehicle back off, I heard no clicking. A half hour later, I go out to see if it is doing it again, and it's back to clicking and the back door won't open. I open the drivers door and hit the unlock button and as soon as I do, it automatically relocks. I turned the engine off and it began clicking immediately this time.
I have disconnected the battery to prevent things from getting worse and plan to make an appointment with the Mazda dealer sometime next week when I can get off work. Until that time I plan to continue to trouble shoot and any input would be helpful.
Thanks!!
