Silly question, but are you sure your headlights are either turned on or on auto ? The backlighting is linked with the headlight control and turns on when your headlight are turned on. When my car goes in the garage they usually turn off my headlight and have to remind myself to put them back...

I am not sure about your symptoms. I thought coolant in oil was making it turn chocolate milk brown and thick and frotty, so i would be very cautious at the: “your oil is green statement” If it is a cracked head i would join the class action. You can try to fight it with mazda. Depending on...

The other thing i could think off is if there is an issue with keyfob detection and antitheft, but i dont know how to diagnose that.

With the engine running voltage should be higher. More in the 14 volt range. If the car is a 2021 then it probably isn’t the brake interlock cable. That usually happens when cars are a lot older.

Normally i would say your original battery is dead. Letting it sit for a while just let it get enough charge for one start, but it can’t hold charge. Either that or your alternator is dead. Check the voltage on your battery with car off and with the engine running. If the alternator is working...

I echo going the junkyard route. If you find a junkyard CX-9 that is the same color it would be really cheap to swap it.

Not impossible, but it is the first time I hear of CX-9s catching fire. I couldn’t find anything about it either on the NHTSA website (complaints, recall or manufacturer communications). I agree for now it seems like isolated events.

I am not 100% sure this is the case, because there are multiple different lawsuits. Does the reddit article confirms exactly which one is being cancelled?f. You might be right, but i still have some hope. Examples: This one is in California from Jarvis et al...

It depends how much overheating occured and if the coolant mixed with the oil or not. Mazda standard process is that if there is coolant in the oil they replace the engine automatically. If not then they replace the head (the entire head because it is likely cracked, not just the gasket). The...

Taking them off will likely: - increase road noise in the car - reduce aerodynamic efficiency (worst fuel mileage) - increase exposure of the car components to the water, slush and salt. This will most likely make it worst. The bottom of your engine bay will probably get filled with slush and...

I will play devils advocate here. The engine can already produce 320 ft lbs of torque. It is already strong enough to take it. The problem is it dips fast. If we manage to maintain that torque all the way to the 6000 rpm redline, then it would produce 372 hp. That redline is pretty low. If it...

All the info is in the link Antoine posted, including who to contact to get the files.

Top picture is the old infotainment system- bottom one is the new one. The info here is only to update the map data. If you want to update the rest of the software you need to go to the dealer or find a copy of the software and follow the instructions here...

Havent used it for a while but I think if you download the mazda update toolbox and put in your vehicle information it would tell you if you still have free updates or not. According to the email i received from Mazda: If you have the old infotainment system (with the red circle menu) then you...

Not sure what the question is. As long as you have a valid subscription. You can update any navigation card with the Mazda navigation software. It gets updated about every three months and I think it is free updates for the first three years.

My other posts for the active grille shutter are for the CX-9. On the CX-9 they are on the top portion of the grill in front of the radiator, not the bottom. The bottom opening in the CX-9 is where the intercooler is (which i don’t think you would want to restrict airflow to). On the CX-5 i...

Another thing to consider is that the engine bay on the CX-5 is a lot more sealed up than on older cars. With all the bottom aero parts and the seals around the hood, I suspect the air in there gets a lot warmer than on older models we may be used too. And you also have the active grill shutter...
