#12 of 43 Re: D.R.L. [mccorma] by stallionre Apr 11, 2007 (7:01 am)
Replying to: mccorma (Apr 10, 2007 5:15 pm) Yeah, I hear that. I think that the sales people make the car buyer confused about some options that are on the car. I researched this last night about my car, and know that I do not have DRL. I only have the feature that turns on the lights at dusk, even though the salesman told me that I have DRL. Strange how we can confuse the two. However, I heard that all cars that are sold in Canada need to have DRL. Am I wrong about that?   Making them mandatory in the US would be great, however, it would wear out the Xenon bulb faster and as high price as they are, I wouldn't want to buy them every two years.

Replying to: stallionre (Apr 11, 2007 7:01 am) I live in Canada and if you have DRL you'll know has soon has you start your car. "you'll have lights On". Note! these lights are not the same has your regular night time lights has they are a less intense bulb. What I'm trying to say is, if we here in Canada have our lights set at Auto on our Mazda3s the lights that come on after dusk are much brighter. DRL has been law in Canada since 1990 and is a great idea. Replies to this message: stallionre (Apr 16, 2007 6:18 am)

Replying to: markb3 (Apr 15, 2007 6:27 am) I see what you mean about the DRL. In the USA, there are no laws about having DRL yet in most states, however the car companies are making DRL on cars to be active. I can see where DRL might use a different bulb, since you don't need the expensive Xenon's for the day time.
#15 of 43 Weak horn by fshkpr1 May 02, 2007 (10:04 pm)
The horn on my '07 3 Hatchback is so weak that when I had to use it the other driver could not hear it. Last time the truck in front of me rolled back at a red light and actually tapped my front end. I saw at least 1 owner wrote about that.   I looked into the wiring diagram of a '05 model( not available for '07 models yet) and found only a single horn unit( many cars have dual horns). This should be a safety concern and if this is the case for every "3", then Mazda should upgrade it.......
#16 of 43 horn is stuck on when hooked up by regularguybob Jun 02, 2007 (12:17 pm)
My horn on my 90 323 sticks on when the horn is connected. Where do I look on the car to fix the problem,
#17 of 43 DIY DRLs? by zante64 Sep 12, 2007 (8:35 am)
I drive a '07 3 Sport hatch w/manual tranny. Absolutely love the car! Only wish it had DRL's. (I'm in California.) I've seen posts for various other makes which allows you to make lighting modifications pretty easily. What I'm hoping to do, is to make the foglights on my "3" act as DRL's. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks
#18 of 43 Mazda 3 display failure by rhjackson Sep 13, 2007 (3:51 pm)
My 2006 Mazda3 Grand Touring Sedan is almost two years old. The radio/heater/trip computer display has failed. The service manager told me that he replaces two or three of these displays a month, and that he now has one on back order in addition to mine. I assume this will be covered under warranty, but is this as common a failure as my service manager suggests? Replies to this message: okmazda3owner (Aug 22, 2008 2:42 pm)
#19 of 43 04 Mazda 3, I can't turn my headlights off. by zlg42 Mar 06, 2008 (10:36 am)
My headlights will not go off. The only way I can get them off is to take out the 2 fuses in the panel under the glove box. I checked all the realays under the hood, none were bad. Even took it to the dealer for diagnosis, no luck. They claimed I needed to replace the entire electrical panel under the glove box. Has anyone else ever had this issue?   Thanks, Replies to this message: hal18 (Dec 13, 2008 5:33 pm)

Replying to: rhjackson (Sep 13, 2007 3:51 pm) I have a 2007 Mazda 3. The display locks with all the numbers, letters and symbols in the on position. My local dealer has replaced the unit and the following day it locked up again. I am also having trouble with the auto headlights. The headlights turn on in the middle of the day and make the speedo hard to see. So far my local dealer has not been able to fix that either.
