Resolved my issue and posting the answer here for others. Basically, I checked all the fuses but all appeared fine. Was all set to take it back to the shop when I found on another forum someone with a similar problem. Their solution was to disconnect the battery for 10 minutes then reconnect...

Just picked up my 2016 CX-5 from the shop for a P011A code. Just after I left, I noticed none of my turn signals are working (high rate of clicking of the relay), emergency lights no longer work, the cabin fan doesn't work, high beams don't work. Taking it back on Monday but curious if anybody...

My 2016 CX-5 with tech package has had both headlights DRL halo rings fail. The first was after hitting a deer so the insurance picked it up. Now, my drivers side is flickering/dim. Just in time for the state inspection. 89000 miles. Any alternatives to the 1300 replacement (downgrade, switch...

I just ran into this two days ago. I was getting a P0171 for a few days and then on Thursday, lost power (couldn't get above 50) on my way home and a P0300 was added. Interestingly, when I slowed down for a tollbooth, and started to accelerate (slowly) out the back side, the power problem seemed...

I put two Rockymount Tierods on the factory rack on my P5 and love them. Low profile, doesn't interfere with the sunroof (when I tried a Yak, I couldn't use the sunroof at all). The only think I did was to cut about two inches off the back so that the hatch could open. Both my road and mountain...

Do yours say Protege or Protege5? I just ordered a set and they came in today and said just Protege on them.

I had seen that, and am probably going to give the Frost King a try. I'm not looking for luxury vehicle quiet, just a little help and it sounds like the Frost King approach will do that.

I agree. Search is your friend. On the post that you cite, I even commented on that one a while back. Unfortunately none of the discussions out there really answered the question, which is after all the time and effort (and money), was it worth it? In that article, people comment "I heard some...

How many of you have found that sound proofing (tiles, closed cell foam, mlv) are worth the effort? I recently dropped the headliner to swap out the roof rack and am having a hard time trying to decide if it's worth it. Regards, Bill

He is correct about riding then engine down when slowing down vs putting int the clutch. I've validated this by watching the instantaneous mpg value on my scangauge. The reason is, most newer cars are smart enough to cut the fuel with a negative load, but when you put the clutch in, the engine...

That does look good. Did you do it yourself? Was it from a P5 kit? What source?

Have you done the vinyl? Do you have any pics? The little bit of searching has been negative, but I've never messed or seen it done so can't judge.

When I bought my P5, the center console and bezel had some scatches. Since the silver is on black plastic, they are pretty obvious. I'm looking for suggestions on how to address this. It seems I have four options: 1) paint em. I was sincerely thinking about this, but I've read alot of posts of...

I'm running Valvoline 5w-30 synthetic for the engine and Mobil 1 75w-90 synthetic for the MT.
