Did you ever find out what the problem was? Mine just has the same issue.

If someone has pics of the circuit board for the controls, I may be able to give you some instructions. I am assuming they are still using the same circuit board since it would cost more to change it rather than just remove LEDs and resistors from the old one. If the lights are inside the...

I just did mine last weekend. Both the filter and the plug were hard to get off. The filter I used a strap wrench and bore down on it. With the plug I had to use a two foot breaker bar just to loosen it! Usually my 8" long wrench takes off a plug just fine. At least the plug head was in...

Re-Aim You can re-aim washer nozzles by inserting a pin or needle into it and gently adjust it to where you want it to spray. For some reason one of my front ones decided to spray over the car. I just put a pin in and adjusted it to shoot lower. I'll have to check if my back one needs to be...

Built in security That light is for the built in keyed security. If you try to start the car with a key that does not have the correct electronic code, the engine will die after a couple minutes. On some cars if you try it 3 in a row, you have to get a dealer to reactivate your car for you.

Search for how to remove the cabin air filter. One of those access panels may be loose.

I saw those and I may end up buying on as a breakout cable to find out what specifically is going on to set the clock and the trip data. I was thinking of using something like this to sniff out the signals if they are transmitted on the CAN Bus. It seems that those with 2011 CX-9s would...

Hey, I just bought a 2010 CX-9 Touring. I joined this forum because the forums for my last car were a great help. I eventually want to upgrade my stock audio system to a aftermarket nav system. Are there any pinouts of the connectors of the stock unit? I want to retain my functionality of...
