    AC Fan Blower sometimes not working

    I have similar problem. Eventually the blower doesn't turn on at all. I replaced the blower resistor first. But later realized the old resistor was working fine (by using the multimeter to check, procedure in the link) https://www.samarins.com/glossary/blower-motor-resistor.html. Then I...

    Carbon vinyl wrap on head unit trim

    Haven't done anything on the car for a while. Got some carbon fiber vinyl left over and decided to apply it on the plastic trim around the screen. It is very hard to do because this material (VViViD) is much thicker than the 3M 1080p but their carbon fiber has a gloss coating on top to make look...

    2014 Engine Coolant

    Guys, there is a reason they sell OEM spec coolant. Like Honda engine needs to use Honda coolant. I agree $30 is much more than $10 you get from autozone. But it's just cheap insurance. If something go wrong, you will blame why you out in offspec coolant to try to save $20. If you want to save...

    Power Tailgate on CX-5

    We love our family's 13' CX-5 Touring. The only complain I would have is it was not offered with power tailgate. Power tailgate is not normally an option for entry level crossovers (although it is available to some loaded entry level crossover such as Rav4 now). So I have been seeing people in...

    Tapping Noise in engine bay?

    Our 2013 Cx-5 Touring has 25,000 miles. One MAF sensor failed and dealer replaced before out of warranty. Lately, I heard a very weird tapping noise that sounds like a loosen hardness hitting metal sound from the front lower part of engine. I cannot really duplicate the noise other than it...

    Outside Temp Reading keeps going back to F (fahrenheit)

    I followed the user manual procedure to switch the gauge to read celsius. It reads celsius fine when it is on. Then I switch it off and wait about 10 mins, start the engine again, the gauge reads fahrenheit. I repeated the step to set it at celsius again, but it went back to fahrenheit afterward...

    CX-5 Ebay Fog Assembly DRLs

    I think the led strip is fairly close to those OEM quality led from Benz or Audi. It's just my hid is very close to white with a tint of yellow, that makes the led a bit blue, but I say they are are very white overall. The result should be exactly like the original thread starter's picture in...

    CX-5 Ebay Fog Assembly DRLs

    for the owners that have foglight, have you guys thought about wiring the way that the LED is on full power when the foglight is off and LED is off when the foglight is on. I heard LED is not very good at half power or half brightness, I would prefer full on or full off.

    Xenondepot or Morimoto HID Kit (w/o tech pkg)?

    Try to google a little bit, I got my morimoto kit from lightwerkz with freeshipping and 10% discount, that's $135 flat. The other way is to get morimoto HID bulbs only and use DDM ballast and relay. then you get 4300k color.

    Installed Morimoto Elite HID (non-xenon pkg)

    Mine is just a regular H11 bulb, not the XB35 bulb. But I got the complete Morimoto HID Kit from Lightwerkz.com instead of TRS. I don't think I have experienced any shadow problem. But I do notice there is a pair of spot where light doesn't shine on the road, which I know I had that when I got...
