2013~2016 Dealer can't find problem in CX5 that blows fuses

This mechanic is good. In this video the electronic gas door won't open. Simple, the switch broke, right? Nope. It is an interesting video.

Hi Friends,

Here's an update on the fuse-blowing CX5.

I took the car to my wonderful independent mechanic in Santa Cruz, Rusty. He narrowed the problem down to the SRS module, which was one of four modules connected to the SRS1 fuse. After replacing the module, the car ran perfectly for about 3 weeks and perhaps 1000 miles. However, yesterday, the fuse blew while my daughter was driving the car from Big Sur and sort of freaked her out. I think the PS, SRS, ABS and one other sub-system is on this fuse, or the power for those modules flows through SRS1.

I now have the option of asking Rusty to replace more modules, and I have NO idea if I can test the modules to see if one is the suspect. Any additional ideas?

Thanks for all of the helpful ideas.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!

Hey Chuck. I have the same problem occur on my Mazda as well. Except, so far the SRS1 fuse only occurs on start up. Have you resolved the issue? Any information will be appreciated. Thank you!
