    WTB: 02 Protege Fuse Box and Turn Signal/Multi-Function Switch

    When you say worn does that mean the letters are gone or like integrity-wise they are worn down? I would be interested in those. Have pictures? The thing is I read the how-to for that and seems like everyone on there said they needed it. I'm running stock suspension so my guess was the same as...

    WTB: 02 Protege Fuse Box and Turn Signal/Multi-Function Switch

    Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. For now I'm hoping it was just the wiring that was bad.

    Prospective Protege5 Owner

    How do you notice this? I will be needing new rotors and pads soon so if you're saying there's an issue, it would be more effective to fix as a whole all at once.

    Brake Light Switch code and other lighting issues

    Took it to a repair shop and had them diagnose and look for the problem and came back with another three digit number for cost. Basically according to them, I have a bad fuse box/damage somewhere. Calling Mazda, they're around $370 plus tax. So...what options do I have here. I have the engine...

    Why do P5's eat headlight bulbs? Any long-lasting alternatives?

    Not trying to hijack but can you adjust them? I've noticed one is significantly higher than the other which sometimes make me turn on my fog lights to have a more even light source on those dark roads

    Funky Idle

    So I might've unintentionally messed with something. So I tried to do the rear mount and save a few bucks. That was a fail. Got to that part with the plastic rail covering the mount bolts and noticed on my attempt i was starting to reveal the wires in the plastic cover. So pieced everything back...

    How-To : AWR Rear Mount Install

    In the midst of tackling said mount now and yes that stupid plastic railing holding the hose is a pita. That second 10mm, is a douche. I was just wondering because I was on a budget when I bought the mount, mine has like this hook as compared to the awr which seems to have had that piece taken...

    Brake Light Switch code and other lighting issues

    So with my CEL, I got the code for a brake light switch. My mechanic replaced mine and shortly after I noticed my lights would not come on. I was out of town so I couldn't get it checked till like a week after. He saw my vehicle yesterday and figured the problem was the switch itself (cheaply...

    Advice re: Code P0421 & Warm-up Cat

    I haven't fixed my CEL with the same code as stated above. Can you get away with just your main cat? I was quoted $500 or so for a new CA-compliant cat from my mechanic. Would that amount be better spent elsewhere? I've been racking my brain because I have a few things I want to do to the car...

    My new (used) 02 P5

    I lucked out with the one I bought as it fit perfectly and yes the price is what sold me on it. I figured $19 is hardly a gamble. I've wasted much more on more stupid things so that worked out for me. So I replaced No2 and No3 mounts. I'm now waiting on my mechanic to replace No4 mount which...

    My new (used) 02 P5

    So two things I've noticed driving this car. Seeing as how I was rather negligent on my first car and that ended up costing me I'm almost paranoid/cautious about this one. Often when I shift into second, I hear this loud thump. Yes, it may not be as clean sometimes as it's a bit different from...
