Brake light assembly appears stuck by mightymarg

I have a 97 Protege and I am trying to change the brake lights. I unscrewed the two screws right outside where the trunk comes down and pushed out on the assembly, but it is sticking and I can't pop it out. Are there more screws I am missing?

You may want to check http://protege5.ugly.net
It includes the entire factory workshop manual for the 2002 Protege manual which may shed some light on your problem.

I have my own 1997 manual and it doesn't actually help at all. It just has a small picture that makes it appear that I am doing everything as I should.

Hmmm ...
 
p.s. the cool thing about online manuals in PDF is that you can "blow up" the images to get a more detailed view.

Yes, that would be very helpful if it was a 1997 Protege manual. However, it's not the case, and the lighting assembly is different, which I have verified by already looking closely at the PDF.

What is normal RPM going 70MPH? by debd86

I have a 99 mazda protege that was given to me. It has a 1.6 liter engine. When I am going 70 MPH the rpm is around 3000, is this normal? I am just wondering because I have been driving a van for the past 10 years and it is around 2000 rpm at 70 mph. I love the gas mileage this car gets! Thanks.

My worst half felt like a mechanic one morning and messed around under the hood:( Now speedometer doesn't work The RPM no work:{ I know it has something to do with the fuses. So that's covered. My worry is theres a few hoses unplugged under the hood. My car is missing now. I think thats what you call it. Can anyone send me a picture of whats under their hood 1997 5spd dx/lx protege. Maybe I can figure out where those hoses plug into.

1999 Protege Window Regulator by gibber
Oct 06, 2007 (10:06 am)

I have a 1999 Protege ES. The window regulator broke(it appears the cable got off track and snapped the plastic guide on top). I ordered a new one, however, the new one has the wrong connectors! I checked several websites which all carry the "replacement" window regulators(item M462930) and they all show the regulator with two connectors, one squarish one to the motor assembly, and another at the top of the window track. However, the original had a small(two wire) connector to the motor, and no connector at the window track(although the mounting holes for the sensor are there). Has anyone had experience replacing these-were the 1999's odd somehow? Also, what is the best way , if possible, to keep the window closed in the meantime?

I made do by splicing the wires. Apparently the post 1999 protege has some additional power window features(like auto up maybe), but the main two wires appear to be the same. Works OK now.
