You checked the battery and cables... but made no mention of checking fuses, which should be the first thing you should do.

We've all done it, maybe not to whole car but we've all worried bout it, especially doing electrical stuff to these new cars.

thanx if u had not told me to check those fuse boxes i woda missed it, ne how the solution ws a loose ground bolt on the back of the fuse box under the hood beside the motor....it is common for this bolt to come loose now that ive asked around......and its well hidden,anyhow thanks 4ur time and efforts,my ride is a mazda protege 91, i paid a 100bucks for it last yr,the best investment i ever made....keep in touch and tell evey one this prob is common with this design
