I noticed that when I run low or completely out of washer fluid, my 'low washer fluid' light doesn't come on. Has anybody else noticed this or is there something wrong with the sensor in my car?

We have 25,000 miles on our Mazda5 and our check engine light came on two weeks ago, and it was just a case (per the dealer) of the fuel cap not being properly tightened. I drove it for a week thinking it would reset which it never did, so I had the dealer check the code and reset the light.

Yes, that it how it lets you know it is armed and working. You should be worried if it DOESN'T flash or come on. It probably always has, you just didn't notice until now. I have owned my Mazda5 a month now and didn't notice the light until last week and had to look it up in the manual.

Does anyone know how to reset the light - i.e. make it go off? It is a nuisance to have to go to the dealer to reset it just because of a loose gas cap.

when you say it is low are you talking about for the back or the front wiper. the reason i ask is because the pump is set higher on the back so that it will no be able to draw any fluild before the light comes on then when it gets low enough to affect the front ones it will finally go on. so when the back one runs out(even though they are from the same tank) i know i must soon get some and if i forget the light comes on when the front pump is soon to run out. hope that makes sense

i remember this issue when the car first came out if people over filled it the same issue. i would think you would have to get someone with a 2 way code reader to reset it. whether it is the dealer of some one with the equipment. If i remember correctly VW could reset the codes by disconnecting the battery over night

Mazda6 security indicator light

My daughter's 2003 Mazda 6 stopped working. She is unable to lock/unlock the car using the auto lock feature but can lock/unlock the doors manually. However, nothing works when she inserts the key in the ignition. She says the security indicator light comes on and that the dials for the instruments start to pulsate. Any ideas?

Although this is a Mazda5 area I might think the Mazda3, Mazda5 and Mazda6 have similar immobilizer systems.
a) If you have 2 or more sets of keys and all, except one, work, the faulty key might not be recognized anymore. Either the key has to be reprogrammed or you may need to cut and reprogram a new key. You need 2 good keys to reprogram a 3rd one (this is for security reasons, i.e. valet parking)...
b) If none of the set of keys works, the car immobilizer system has issues. In this case you will need to take it with a dealer to check it out.

This reply is a year later, but maybe it benefits someone else....
The battery is low. When the battery is low all needles in the instrument cluster will pulsate, i.e. go up and down.
It happened to my CX-7. Just needed a jump.
