    Speedometer not working

    Ask your mechanic for a scan tool that can display live MPH from the ECU. If the ECU sees speed but the cluster doesn’t, it’s a cluster issue. If no speed shows at all, it’s VSS or wiring. The Chat GPT is impressive. I know I would check while driving with a OBCII "Scangauge' or "Ultragauge'...

    Mazda teasing all new 2026 CX-5!

    I've noticed that my title for the CX-5 lists it as a 5-door wagon. They like to keep things simple, I guess, so maybe they don't have a classification for it.

    Speedometer not working

    I would guess some kind of bad connection that opens because of heat but I have no idea where to look. If you don't want to take it to a dealer I wonder if it would be a good idea to call one and ask about it.

    2017 CX-5 AC blowing a bit warm

    I had a vehicle that dripped something green from the compressor during a very cold spell and it had lost the charge. I believe it needed new o-rings on some of the connections.

    Anyone Know What This Green Stuff Is?

    That connector is for the heater core, isn't it? The green stuff looks like hardened coolant, which is green. Why it is coming out like that is a mystery.

    Replacing rear wiper

    I have purchased the OEM Mazda rubber inserts from amamzon. It's not very hard to replace them. I think I paid about $14 for the front pair

    Loud engine tick

    Is it cooler in the mountains when the car is first started in the morning? Trying a different oil might help. Hard to say what kind of oil would be best. Although the current owner is maintaining the engine properly, how well was the engine treated by the first owner? How many miles did the...

    Blower motor rattles. Worth a trip to the dealer?

    On this last video it sounds like the noise starts right along with the motor as it intially starts up, rather than after it gets up to speed. I wonder if there is something lodged in it that you can't see. I guess it could also be a frayed or loose winding inside the motor, or something wrong...

    Lift Gate Badge held on/in with adhesives or pins?

    A person might want to reuse the holes to mount a different badge, I guess. Maybe a Hyundai, Nissan, or maybe a european make. I'm not sure why.

    2016 CX-5 AWD vs 2015 FWD - MPG

    There are those that have found their AWD differential or transfer case was underfilled at the factory and they added more fluid when they did a fluid exchange.

    2016 CX-5 AWD vs 2015 FWD - MPG

    I have a 12v inflator set to about that amount, if you trust the readout. About 10% over what they recommend. "38psi all the time"

    Dawn and Dusk driving with no tail lights

    The main thing is that people can be idiots .. they do all kinds of things because we have so many freedoms and let little kids.. grammas' etc, but they have to because there aren't many busses, etc. My dad used to say they were getting out of formation all the time.

    Optional CX-5 Accessories Worth Considering?

    I figure some kind of fuzzy type dark fabric is better, one of those toueune things justs tips 'em off that somethig might be there. They don't help the noise that much, I'm not sure about storing heavy objects under it that might be dangerous in a very suddent stop. I have some kind of 'auto...

    CX-5 on a diet?

    Kind of a lot of stuff to read through but I was surprised at curb weight? wet I'd assume my 16.5 sprt 2.0 MT is about 3205 if I remember right. Surely the base I have is the lowest, all the others add to that. Probably right about the rollon test. I noticed scanning through that you saved...
