    2021 CX-5 Grand Touring AC Issue?

    Hi. My daughter has a new 2021 CX-5 GT and called telling me her AC was not working. She is 4 hours away and has no car experience so I asked her to send me a picture of what the AC controls looked like. I attached the picture. She said she hit everything she could to try and see if she...

    2008 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring getting BCM Replaced Question

    I am bringing my CX-9 next week to get a windshield leak repaired and BCM replaced. The Service Rep asked me if I had both key fobs as they may need two to program the BCM but he wasn't sure. I have lost one of the fobs and only have one which is the expensive Credit card looking remote. I...

    2021 CX-5 Sunpass Location

    Hi, I just purchased a Sunpass Mini for the first time. It says to place it behind the rearview mirror on the windshield. Will it work if you place it behind the right side of the mirror over the black dotted film or does it have to be a clear section? If that doesn't work, what are other...

    Question on BCM

    I hope this is a simple question. I had water run into the floorboard on the driver side and my BCM got wet with lights on the dash, door locks and turn signals not working, etc. I want to remove the BCM and try to dry it out. I understand I should remove the negative battery cable. If I...

    Car takes several seconds to start when cranking

    I have a 2008 CX-9 Grand Touring that has about 130,000 miles. I recently changed the sparkplugs and the car runs great. The only issue is when you start the car up when cold, it turns over a couple of seconds before it starts. Even when warm it doesn't start as fast as it should. When it...

    Permanent Fix for Air Conditioner Drain Line Please

    I have been under my 2008 CX-9 three times in six months clearing the AC drain line. Using a shop vac failed all three times but using compressed air worked each time except on the last time is shorted my blower fan and I had to replace it. Now it is sloshing again and I need a permanent fix...

    Jack Pad for 2008 CX-9

    I am probably over complicating this but trying to find a safe jack pad to use with my Daytona Low Profile Floor Jack. Looking at the round rubber ones, most seem to only have a .5 inch slot and I measure the rail under the car to be around .75 inches. The slot in the factor Jack is about an...

    Do some brand of Serpentine belts work better than others?

    I've been reading about changing the serpentine belts and when I go out to look at what to purchase, some reviews for some brands seem to say the belt doesn't fit but may not be CX-9 specific. So my question are: 1. Looking at all the brands, AC Delco, Continental, Bando, Gates, etc. Are...

    Strange Occurrence with my 2008 CX-9 Grand Touring

    I'm going by what my wife described and what I observed afterward, but have no idea what happened. My wife started up her CX-9 to leave the house. The engine was cold but it was probably in the 70's here. She said she heard a loud tapping/knocking under the engine and when she looked in the...

    2008 CX-9 Grand Touring with Nav. Switch AUX inputs on back of radio

    I have a 2008 CX-9 with Nav and Satellite radio. From what I understand, my AUX in the center console doesn't work because they used the single AUX on the rear of the radio for Satellite. I have not had Satellite radio in years and want to disconnect it from the AUX and connect the AUX in the...

    Rear Hatch won't close with button or key fob

    When the rear hatch is open and I press the button or the key fob for the motor to close it, it starts closing, immediately beeps and stops. It closes and locks fine manually. If I close it manually just a tiny bit and hit the button, it will then close with the motor with no problem. Any...

    I think mine is a 2006 build 2 or something like that. I just bought it last week and want to make sure I have the latest DVD for the nav. If it is not the latest, would Mazda upgrade it being I just purchased the vehicle?

    clear tape over seat tracks question

    We just picked up our new CX-9 a few days ago and I notice the seat tracks on the floor look like they have clear tape over them. I thought it was just there for shipping and should be removed but noticed that it doesn't come up easily and is sticky as hell underneath it. Is this supposed to...
