This is something that should have been done when the battery was replaced. shoulda woulda coulda

Exactly which indicator is coming on? You're sure that it's not a maintenance reminder?

Turning the key clockwise or counterclockwise does nothing? Can you feel any resistance when turning the key? No sounds as a result of the key being turned? Have you tried the opening the rear hatch in the normal way? Either using the fob button for the hatch or the action button on the hatch...

If you're on your third battery in a 2021 CX, something aint right. Was the charging system tested? Can you test it yourself? If you have a multimeter check the voltage at the battery before starting the car. It should read between 12.5 and 13vdc. Now start the car. After a moment or two the...

Rut row! I just now went out to my garage and tried the key in my fob for the first time ever. As mentioned above, clockwise and CCW. CCW unlocks and CW locks on my CX. When turning the key, it sounds as if the mechanism is electronic and not mechanical at all, other than the insertion and...

You should have kept the MX; you can have two Mazdas you know? Naples you say? I grew up there and met my wife there in 1975.

Yeah, not exactly the same but in the exact same location. It's pretty clear where to place the jack.

Huh? Both of my Mazdas get the clock info from my phone, and both are showing the current and correct time.

The jack point hangs directly below the rear differential housing, just as it does on the MX.

If Mazda doesn't recommend this for their cars, then I won't either. I won't be changing my ways, but I won't suggest going against Mazda's advice to others here.

I thought that it was beeping non-stop even with the battery disconnected. What became of this?

I can't even imagine what could be beeping with the battery disconnected. Can you stick your head under the dash and get a better idea where the beep is originating?

What they should do and what they actually do, are two entirely different things!

While you were under there why didn't you pull the access cover right there and see what's going on with the filter and the drain plug? Two screws and two plastic rivets and you're looking at the filter and drain plug.

Thanks for your concern but I've been doing it this way for MANY years, and I will continue to do so. You think that I'm over straining the treads because I'm using anti-seize?

This is what I'm using these days. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001HW6QA8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sorry, this is such a mess for you! It was the responsibility of the first mechanic to make sure your CX wasn't any worse off than when you brought it into him for work. Since he messed the car up so badly that it wouldn't run, I would have taken him to court over it. Too late for that now...

Not quite a year later and the MX is freshly washed and waxed again. I'm not ready to put her away yet, so no oil change for a few more weeks.

I didn't apply "oil or grease" to the threads. What's #4 talking about above? "Turn the lug wrench counterclockwise and lower the vehicle"? Did I miss something? Aren't 'we' tightening the lugs? Lefty loose righty tighty Right?

I didn't say that I don't have a torque wrench, did I? I have three. I just don't use them for lugnuts is all.
