What I meant was that he opened the fuse box (took some fuses out and put them back) and tried to have the door sills connected without success. I heard that if a lightining strucks a car thru the antenna, that could cause a big damage and the computer will go blank. However I don't believe any major damage has been caused by what he was trying to do.

autonomous, I see your doing a little dry humor yourself today. Whats the "connection" ... not bad!
dinaura, can you give us a little more detail of what your son-in-law was attempting? Why would he "pull some fuses" to install door sills? Was he running wires under the door sills for some reason?

2007 Mazda 3 Shutting off when coming to a stop

Hello,
I was driving my Mazda two days ago on the hwy and I was coming into some traffic and started to come to a stop when the following warning lights came on, check engine, oil, and battery. Immediately after the car shut off. The dealer said they had no idea but they stated that there is new software for the car and updated it. Has anybody experienced this problem or have any idea on what it could be? Thanks

I'm guessing they were the aftermarket metal sills with light up "MAZDA3" on them - they have to be connected to the interior lights

Rough/grinding 1st to 2nd gear shift with M/T in cold weather

Hello all,
Have a 2006 Mazda 3i with manual transmission (M/T). With the weather in DC finally getting cold, I noticed that the shift from 1st to 2nd gear is very rough, can sometimes feel the grinding, when the car is cold. This usually goes away after some driving, after the car has warmed up. The shift is fine in warm weather, and other shifts (2 to 3, 3 to 4, etc) are find when it's cold. I'm just wondering if anyone with a M/T has something similar happening to their M/Ts in cold weather.
I'm not too concerned, as my previous car ('95 Mitsubishi Mirage LS) had a similar issue, and a friend with a '05 Subaru WRX complains about a similar thing as well.
Is this just the oil in the gearbox not being warm and therefore thin enough to lube the gears, or should I go to the dealer to have this checked out?

Search this forum under "stalling problems". You'll find that there is lots of posts on this problem. Save yourself a hole bunch of headaches and get rid of the car. This problem has existed way back on the 2004s and Mazda has yet to come up with a fix.

Well, I wouldnt go as far as getting rid of the car because of the stalling problem...I have come to expect the car to stall at the worst possible time and then I would pop the gear into neutral and start the car again.

Well you better hope that it doesn't stall in the middle of a busy intersection or on a highway ramp like it did to me. Stalling is a dangerous problem and you could very easily be involved in an accident because of it - affecting your life, someone elses and even your insurance rates - so yes, I believe that Stalling is a big and serious issue - this probem has been around for 2 years now - what exactly is Mazda doing to correct the problem? So to me, having a problem that Mazda won't fix is a great reason to get rid of the car. My life is worth much more. Something for you to consider.

brodie2, I see where your now posting on the Honda Civic issues and solutions board. Did you buy a new Civic & get rid of your 3?

Its kind of hard just to get rid of a car when I just bought it brand new from a dealer a month ago. How often has it happened to you? Has anyone seen anykind of pattern?
