Replying to: kygoat (Oct 11, 2006 7:40 am) I'm having Electrical Gremlins also.   My radio lights flicker. It's JUST the buttons for the radio, not the upper dash display or the gauges or headlights... after I've been driving the car a while (at least 20 minutes), I assume when it's gotten good and warm, the radio button lights start to flicker. Nav screen and all other lighting appears to be fine.   Anyone else have this issue? What fixed it? I have the latest PCM Flash (they did it today). Dealer could not replicate the problem (probably because they weren't driving it for more than 20/30 minutes LOL).   Help?

Replying to: kygoat (Oct 11, 2006 7:40 am) I just got a CX-& Sport last week, pretty basic. Power seat, Bose package, sunroof. Saturaday my daughter notice the clock/radio display on the upper dash was not working. Also tne keyless entry would not work, nor the power door locks. The TCS light was flashing and a light/picture of a car with zig zag lines behind it stayed on. Later that night, the stereo and clock worked but the keyless entry still did not work. The stereo had erased its memory and I had to reprogram it, also the TCS light stopped flashing after a short drive. This morning, everything worked perfectly. Then again, this afternoon, the whole thing repeated plus the interior light do not work.   Heck, the thing only has 100 miles on it and this is what I get. My only saving grace is that it is a company car and I don't have to pay for it. Replies to this message: kbramstedt (Apr 30, 2007 10:34 pm)

Replying to: kbramstedt (Apr 29, 2007 8:44 pm) I took it to the dealer I bought it from. They ffound a loose fuse. It was located in the engine compartment fuse panel. It is a fuse the dealer installs when they do a pre-delivery inspection, and they did not push it is all the way. They said some of the electrical problems people here are experiencing might be due to the dealers not inspecting the fuses before delivery. This is the closest dealership to the Mazda USA office in Irvine, CA.

Replying to: kygoat (Oct 11, 2006 7:40 am) The window switch on the drivers door panel which is meant to activate the passenger window does not work. The switch in the passenger door does activate the window however. A minor issue, but surprising nevertheless. Replies to this message: farupnorth (Jun 07, 2007 6:52 pm)

Replying to: hutchensgd (Jun 06, 2007 5:28 pm) I had the same problem when I first got my car and it's easy to fix. It just needs to get woken up.   Turn car to "on" Roll down passenger window (from passenger side) all the way. Then roll passenger window up all the way holding it for 3 seconds. Repeat on Drivers Side. From drivers side repeat with both buttons simultaneously.

Thanks! That worked perfectly.

Have any of you experienced a very hot ignition key? It seems after I drive the car the switch is quite hot. Replies to this message: tidester (Jun 13, 2007 6:46 pm)
