Ill find out at the garage in another day or two, but I had an interesting night with my 2004 Mazda 6s 3.0L
As I was driving, the battery light flashed a few times so I turned the AC off. Then a few seconds later, it felt like the car stalled and I noticed all the gauges and lights on my dash were off, and my stereo turned off. Second later everything was back on and driving fine.
I thought it was the alternator, so I let it run 15 minutes when I got home.
Went to start it, nothing, not a tick or anything.
When I turn the key, all the chimes ding, I can hear the fuel pump engaging etc. Dash lights all turn on, but NOT the stereo and the HVAC system doesnt work either, AND the display where the clock normally is, has a strip of lines across it.
Windows go up and down, Power locks do not work.
Headlights come on and do not dim, battery is at 70%
Headlights dont dim when I turn the key. Its like its not engaging the starter at all.
The theft light on the dash isnt lighting up or flashing either, when Im pretty sure it did whenever the key was inserted.
Im sort of thinking that I had some sort of power surge for whatever reason and perhaps it wiped the key coding? Anyone have any idea?
