If you're unsure about the age of the battery, I'd start there and replace it. If it's the OEM battery, it's time anyway. If not, it sure sounds like a battery issue to me. Do you have a proper battery charger/tender? The battery needs to be fully charged in any case. Do you have multimeter to...

Both my wife and I are 5'5" and entry/exit for our 2016.5 is great! The only issue was/is, if a certain someone wears boots that have buckles on the back, the outside bottoms of the sills can/do get scratched if care isn't taken...

What's the status of your fob battery? Have you tried replacing the fob bat? What about the second fob? What color is the Start button while this is going on? Have you tried holding the fob up to the Start button when it's acting up? Have you read through the section of the owner's manual...

Here's one, https://www.ravenolamerica.com/passenger-car-products/coolant-antifreeze-ravenol-hjc-fl22-premix/ I use Ravenol fl22 but it wasn't the premix, it was 100% coolant and green, bright green.

VERY few people will have access to a machine like this. So that means they will have to go to a shop that has this machine, right? They will be at the mercy of the AC tech anyway. Some knowledge is better than none but what knowledge did you supply in the clip? Use the machine if you have a...

Yes, worthless. Did you watch it Felixd? All you need is one of those machines, eh?

There's a Mazda emblem in the dash? Can you see it when you press the Start button in without pressing the brake pedal? As in, putting the car in accessory mode? I believe that all the dash indicators light up initially.

That's appears to be a Fluke DMM and it's not a sub $100 meter. Not $500 either but it's a better meter than most.

With a HIGHLY accurate meter the voltage drop across each fuse could be measured. You're not going to be able to do this with a sub $100 meter. I have a Fluke 45 Fluke 45 Dual Display Bench Multimeter ($495 that's the used price...) This would do the job, but those cheapies won't.

Even then it's iffy! Double check what they did and what they said that they would do.

Something ain't right! I'm approaching 40k miles on my 2016.5 and all my brakes still have plenty of meat left on the pads.

The only way for the fuse to blow is to draw too much current. 4.4a ain't gonna do it so that means that you did something else to make it happen. Even if you accidently pressed one of the fob buttons while measuring the current, I don't believe that the current is going to blast up past 10a...

In your example, if one was to test the current draw. The negative cable would be removed from the battery and the probe attached to the negative cable first, right? Then the other probe would be connected to the battery's negative terminal, right? This would most likely generate a spark at the...

While troubleshooting a circuit, voltage readings are not always taken with reference to ground, what then? The impedance of today's modern multimeters is in excess of 10M ohms. Which means that no sparks will be generated by connecting the probes (when checking voltage) and it most certainly...

You're absolutely right about the clamp on meters limitations. I was just stating that there are two methods for measuring current draw and I was trying to find out which the OP used.

The order of connections doesn't matter. What are you talking about ADS? "You put the black probe to the negative(ground) terminal first! Then you touch the positive terminal of the battery! " This is for checking the battery voltage and the order make zero difference. When checking for...

The spark is normal, but you should try to avoid sparking close to the battery if possible. Touch the probe to the battery first and try to position the negative cable as far away from the battery as possible. Batteries can produce hydrogen gas and sparks, and hydrogen, are not a good...

Man-o-man. Where's the head banging emoji? There's two ways to measure current draw for a car battery. 1, Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery and place your ammeter/multimeter probes between the battery terminal and the ground terminal that you just removed. Place your meter in...

As I asked in your other thread, how EXACTLY are you measuring the current draw of the battery?

I don't care for the color or the 'quilted' look, sorry bro. Looks like they have great coverage though, does it cover the dead pedal?
