    Brake switch failure???

    Hey Bell I had the same issue as well. The check engine light would come on and off at times so I got to the point where I said f*** it. Changed it out and everything is working normal now. The thing that really pissed me off was not having the shifter working properly. Now it's good to have a...

    Ugh. Another Mazda issue

    Definitely if I witnessed it, I'd have a better idea. I've been driving it lately especially today to go to my bro's house for Turkey day. Drove perfectly fine. It's just something I have NEVER EVER heard of unless it was a loose battery connection. Ugh! Let's see. Fixed the brake switch...

    Ugh. Another Mazda issue

    Don't scare me with the flood!!! LOL I did a report on it before I bought it and it's good to go. I've personally never seen it happen, but she says the instrument lights, radio, and car itself just goes dead whenever she pulls up to a stop sign or stop light. Nothing at all works for about a...

    Brake Switch B Circuit and Insufficient Coolant temperature for stable operation code

    Well, both problems are fixed now. Reset the computer, thermostat changed, and now it's codeless and fan is working great. SUPER quiet fan too. It was a b**** to reach my hand under to take the bolt out though. Got a lot of love scratches on my arms from the car.

    Ugh. Another Mazda issue

    Right on D. I just got a new job that requires going back and forth from different sides of the town so my Titan is definitely not going to save me some gas. Definitely look into that cx-9.

    Ugh. Another Mazda issue

    Think I already know that. Been building imports in the past and muscle cars presently for a long time. I'm PREEEETTY sure I can tell electrical from mechanical. But thanks for your 2 cents on the issue. Hey D. You have a CX-9?? Curious how do you like it?? I'm GOING to sell my Titan and get...

    Ugh. Another Mazda issue

    Cool. Thanks D. The whole time I use to work on Hondas, I've NEVER ran into problems like this. I guess with all the new upgrade electrical stuff car manufactures make now, one little thing can screw EVERYTHING up. Gonna check on it once this last storm goes by us.

    Ugh. Another Mazda issue

    lol You questioned my answer to your question! lol BUT, just to make it more clear for you, YES, EVERYTHING shuts off. Even though it's not a 5, someone posted this for their MAzda3 with the same issue: Re: Replaced Battery Car...Car Stalls at Stops Reply #11 on: October 15, 2009...

    Ugh. Another Mazda issue

    Yea. It's odd, but only for like a minute. There's even times when the car drives perfect. I've read other Mazda forums with other Mazdas with people saying the same thing with their cars as well.

    Ugh. Another Mazda issue

    Nah. Just literally EVERYTHING shuts off and for a couple seconds, it's back to normal. Like I said, EVERY connection is on tight and 2 websites just indicated about some gunk in the throttle body is doing this. Now I use to build Hondas for racing back in the late 90's, the computers back then...

    Ugh. Another Mazda issue

    Mazda5 also. I guess she was reading up on a couple sites that there's some issue with the throttle body?? Something about cleaning it out?? I've read some people with 3's had the same issue.

    Ugh. Another Mazda issue

    Well, I posted about a thermostat and brake sensor problem. Now, my fiance's car turns off at a stop light/stop sign for no reason. Then, after a couple seconds, she is able to restart the car and drive with no issues. Anybody ever run into this? Battery connections/electrical connections are...

    Brake Switch B Circuit and Insufficient Coolant temperature for stable operation code

    Well, I bought the thermostat from Autozone and the FL22 coolant. Just when I was about to replace the thermostat, I decided to disconnect the battery for the heck of it and put it back on. All of a sudden, all the codes disappeared. I can understand the brake switch code being gone just...

    Brake Switch B Circuit and Insufficient Coolant temperature for stable operation code

    Thanks. I always used and never had issues with Duralast products. What about the coolant? Is it necessary to use that certain one?

    Brake Switch B Circuit and Insufficient Coolant temperature for stable operation code

    Thanks D. Did you replace it with an OEM or just a good ol' Autozone bought thermostat? I read some people recommended OEM but I've always used parts from Autozone with no issues.

    Brake Switch B Circuit and Insufficient Coolant temperature for stable operation code

    I'm not sure about the brake code because I just fixed that a couple weeks ago, and this code along with the coolant temp code as well at the same time. I read up on the coolant temp code that it's possible it's the thermostat. Anyone else have any experience with these?
