    CX-90 AC system powered by..?

    I'm in Florida. I'm looking for AC. A normal car battery is 1200W at max discharge. So even a small heater at 600w per hour would kill it. Those starter batteries isn't designed to do that. Doing so would kill the 12V battery. That is why deep cell type for 50% discharge and lithium / lifpo4...

    Has anyone been able to cancel the "scam" prepaid maintenance from the dealer?

    So rate is $1,500 for 5 oil changes? Maybe one air/cabin fitler? That is ridiculous. Here I thought the $250 they sneak on for 3 oil changes was high. Of course don't forget about $500 nitrogen refill package. LOl like we love to waste our time, driving THAT one dealer. Then wait in line for...

    DIY Mazda Mobile Start replaced by iDatastart

    Not much of an electrician, but that don't seems to help. Not like I can bypass a 2 Guage into small port. I have seen other device that you add to the actual circuit line. This might work "Low voltage cut-off plug for 12V outlet". Car is my wife and she works most days. Not really an issue...

    Pretty bad case of vibration and humming noise (2022 CX-9)

    So sometime you can pick up a set of used tired that do match. I got it for $180. Decent life on it. I had to do this due to a balance issue. It was a older one so didn't want to purchase a new set. But I can confirm having one off size do mess with everything. 2022 is very new, but going to...

    I heard it was 2-3 weeks. Any longer remove the battery. I don't own one. I know with my usb dash cam it kills the battery in 8 days. When my wife is sick, I have to remember to unplug the DC to usb adaptor. Mess up so many times, I always carry those batteries jumper now.

    Change Rear Brakes on 2016 CX-9 with electric emergency brake?

    Maybe many just changed it before it goes bad during a check. Cx 5 was my wife car. I didn't check it enough. She turns on music and don't ever listen to the car. It was probably on metal the whole time before even heard it. I heard cx 9 and larger vehicles the back break kick in before the...

    Change Rear Brakes on 2016 CX-9 with electric emergency brake?

    When you take off everything, look around for any leaks. It could be a recent leak that was just enough to lose pressure. Look at brake pad wear, that was the issue with my CX5. The piston side didn't release, and it show. Clean up shoes and piston, grease anything possible. And if you don't...

    Change Rear Brakes on 2016 CX-9 with electric emergency brake?

    If you going to swap out the caliper or rebuild. Be sure to bleed correctly. I had to leave engine on, make sure bottle is on top, and grease the drain nipple to prevent back flow of air. It was a lot of bleeding for it. Over 200 pumps. Then you need to do other four. Literally just did it two...

    Change Rear Brakes on 2016 CX-9 with electric emergency brake?

    I must have missed the part that you didn't enter service mode on purpose. So It is probably the caliper that's not releasing. It happened to me on my CX5, I posted how it destroyed my pads and my rotor. Lucky it want a EPB. Old way is so much easier. The blue I circle show just the metal, no pads

    Change Rear Brakes on 2016 CX-9 with electric emergency brake?

    Well, you can toss everything back and see first. Since it is off, and if you have the test setup. You can make sure. But isn't that important. I done the test before on other items. Especially new ones. From what I heard. The EPB should move around and figure things out. The wire didn't...

    Change Rear Brakes on 2016 CX-9 with electric emergency brake?

    Yes you can. If you are in service mode. Unplug the EPB power supply. Remove the bolts, and that housing can be removed. Use a Allen key or wrench to screw it. The blue thing. I forgot which direction. But that should give you enough gap to remove it. Bad news. You might need to check out the...

    Oh I didn't know I can use a smaller one. If I need to cross that bridge one day. I'll do it too. My biggest concern is the whole gasket blow out issue.

    OK, last question. So I enjoy the function of car auto locking when it sense I'm outside with the key. And refuse to lock ( via key) when I'm inside. Does that still happen?

    Hi, this is a question for all the version EV, PHEV, and hybrid. If you can help me out. Can the ac system be run off the car 48V or 12V (with power transfer from 48V). Sometime I sleep in the car for a few hours and that would be nice not having to turn the car on. My sister's Kia Sportage...
