Replying to: staggs (May 21, 2009 6:15 am) I do the same by mistake time to time on my both cars and do not have any problems. I think your problem is something else. Call your dealer and let them fix it. Do not say anything about what you did before. They can be very mean and blame you that everything is only your fault and try to make you look stupid. Let them investigate the problem on their own. I really do not think that switching gear on not moving car with engine off can hurt.

Replying to: staggs (May 21, 2009 6:15 am) "would not start" needs more clarification. If there is no cranking, I am betting that the interlock is somehow at fault. The system prevent one from starting engine at any gear other than P. That is obviously for safety reason. Yours somehow may be broken. Therefore, the system still think it is NOT in P position. Just my guess.

Just my guess.   Suggestion, try this... - step on the brake - shift in/out of Park a few times to all positions - shift back to Park - start engine   If not helping, visit dealer. Use the free roadside assistance from Mazda.
#77 of 89 Where to find workshop manual by lockloop Jun 27, 2009 (9:44 am)
Hi,   I purchased a 2008 CX9. I like to tinker with the repairs myself. I wanted to purchase the workshop manual.   But I had been trying to buy the workshop manual for 6 months now. It is driving me crazy.   I called three local dealerships. Six months ago, they said to came over to their parts department. When I went, they said they don't have it and will try to get it for me. They never did.   Now, they say I can get it from mazdausa.com. But I can't find it in mazdausa.com.   From the following link: http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=contactCustomer- #9   It said "How do get an owner's manual, wiring diagram and/or workshop manual?   Please contact your nearest authorized Mazda dealership and speak with the Parts Department. They will be more than willing to assist you."   This is the manual mechanics in Mazda dealership use. Clearly it exists and is for sale. But somehow, I am not able to find it.   Anybody know how to get it?   ps. If anybody know of repair manuals made by third party companies, let me know also.

Replying to: lockloop (Jun 27, 2009 9:44 am) Well, there's the Online Repair Manuals guide, but it's hit and miss on makes and models.   It's odd the parts departments are clueless (maybe it's intentional?) - there's even a part number for the factory service manual in the owner's manual: 9999-95-003B-08.   Mazda Tech Info is another resource but it's not cheap for more than occasional use.   Try Rosenthal Arlington Mazda. It looks like they have one for $135, and they say they can order them if they don't have the one you need in stock.

Replying to: lockloop (Jun 27, 2009 9:44 am) lockloop, You best bet is the eBay for price concern also. I got mine there. However, it comes and goes. I heard that waynemazda.com sell them online. Try them. I have WorkShop manual. If you are a DIY guy, you should get the Wiring Manual as well.

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 27, 2009 11:14 am) Thanks (to both Steve and Ceric) for your replies.   But I am still not able to get it.   I can't find anything from the Online Repair Manuals guide and Mazda Tech Info. The manual in Rosenthal Arlington Mazda is for CX-7. I am looking for the manual for CX-9. Rosenthal doesn't have manual for CX-9.   In Ebay, there is a used 2007 CX-9 manual for $135. The link is here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-Mazda-CX-9-Service-Repair-Manual-Book_W0QQcm- dZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2em20Q2el1116QQhashZitem56300a9050QQitemZ370173186128Q- QptZMotorsQ5fManualsQ5fLiterature   But my CX-9 is 2008. Are the manuals the same between 2007 and 2008 CX-9?   I can't find the wiring manual.   Why is it so hard to find the manuals? Replies to this message: steve_ (Jun 28, 2009 7:52 am)

Replying to: lockloop (Jun 27, 2009 10:20 pm) Hmm, I searched Rosenthal by SKU and thought I hit it. Sorry. The CX-7 has different SKUs for '07 and '08, but who knows if any major changes were done to the manual for it for '08, or for the CX-9 for '08.   This is practically turning into a Right To Repair issue.   My online resource through my public library (Auto Repair Reference Center) just has TSB and Recall blurbs.
#82 of 89 WorkShop/Wiring manuals by ceric Jun 28, 2009 (10:44 pm)
Contact www.waynemazdafactoryparts.com OR www.mazdaparts.org I heard that they can order them for you. No dealer is gonna stock those manuals for sales. Few people buy them.   I bought mine (new WorkShop manual) from eBay (forgot how much). They come and go. If you don't want to order by paying high prices, wait for eBay patiently.

Replying to: carteach (Sep 28, 2007 9:12 am) Not trouble free at all. For the first 11 months not one issue. Now I seem to be part of the electrical problem mystery group...
