    Oh no, my P5 wont go into gear, PLEASE HELP!

    Update, I drove it in to the dealership. The Check Engine light came on on the way there and then the AT trans light kept flashing. To top if off, the tabby clutch no longer shows the gears. I got it in there and the tech said it doesnt sound like a fuse. They've only seen it a few times...

    Oh no, my P5 wont go into gear, PLEASE HELP!

    Although this is an obvious thing I wouldn't put it past some to have missed that, but thats not the problem. The tail lights do light up when you press the brakes but I don't hear the normal sound of the electronic release for the brakes. Is this something your intrested in finding out? I...

    Oh no, my P5 wont go into gear, PLEASE HELP!

    None at all. I had a car audio place put in a amp. They put it in the back of the car. I had them put a terminal block in the rear for power. I simply removed the head unit. The computer is disconnected fully so that can't be the problem. Like I said, everything has been working fine and then I...

    Oh no, my P5 wont go into gear, PLEASE HELP!

    Yes, my trans is locked in 3rd gear when I move into the tabby clutch so its the same problem you had. Was the fuse the solution to your problem? I've checked all of the mini fuses but none of them are blown (I used a fuse tester). Any other ideas?

    Oh no, my P5 wont go into gear, PLEASE HELP!

    Where can I find info about this? The car was purchased used so it didn't come with a manual. Yes, it is a Auto.

    Oh no, my P5 wont go into gear, PLEASE HELP!

    I've been installing a carPC in my Mazda. I took out the center console over a month ago. I put the center console back in and moved the car in to the street two weeks ago. Last night I go to start it and the battery is dead. No biggie, so I jumped it. Perfect. I get in and go to shift it into...

    Low beam head lights on a 02 Protege 5 - Bulb Problem

    No, you really should smack me for being such a idot! Do you think that the lights over seas are different and over there there is a bulb that doesnt need the adapter and thats why over here we have one? It seems like a stuipd thing to do instead of putting the correct size plug on it.

    Low beam head lights on a 02 Protege 5 - Bulb Problem

    (peep) I should hide my face and die! I didn't even think that the black base came off. I even did a search but didn't see anyone mention that black housing. If only the car came with an owners manual :( Thanks for the smack! I needed it.

    Low beam head lights on a 02 Protege 5 - Bulb Problem

    Help! I think I may be going crazy. I bought a new set of high and low beams for my P5 off eBay. I put in the high beams with no problem. I got to the low beams and pulled them out to put the new ones in and wouldn't you know, the old bulbs are NOT H7. I went to Auto Zone and Murrays and even...

    Looking for a higher output alternator

    Are you saying that the increase in power output wont be enough or it wont work? The replacement alternator from Auto Zone and from another local supplier is an 80amp alternator. Odd that they would sell an aftermarket that wouldnt work as a direct replacement.

    Looking for a higher output alternator

    Thanks for the info. I'm having trouble locating somewhere that sells Streetwire Alternators. I've done some searching and found people taking about their custom installs using "Streetwires ###w Alternator" but no where that sells them. www.streetwires.com seems to only sell audio related...

    Looking for a higher output alternator

    Greetings. I've searched the forum for "alternator" and didn't come accross anything so I've started a new topic. I need to get a high output alternator for my Protege 5. Why? Aside from the dimming of the dash/radio at times I am going to be adding a AMP and a Computer/Touch Screen to the car...
