Not sure which sub forum to put this in so I'll try here. Let me know if it should be in a different one instead.
Have a 2014 CX-5 grand touring push button start with factory option remote start. Has just over 32k on the clock. Today when my wife parked the car and open the door she got a "Set Power to Off" warning like she did not turn the car off. But, all the radios dash etc looks like the car is off she just gets that warning when the door is opened. Brake was depressed and car in park when turning off. Nothing she could do would get that message to go away. Unfortunately when that message is present the doors won't lock. I went and pulled the negativel off the battery. Put the negativel back on after 30 seconds or so. Sat in the drivers seat pushed in the brake pedal car is in park. Start button lights up green each time I push the brake pedal in. I figure the brake pedal sensor is OK. Push start. Starts like normal. Still in park I push the brake in and turn the car off. Dash and radio and everything turns off but when I open the door I get the same message.
Maybe neutral safety switch?
Pull the neutral again. Start car up like normal. Put car in neutral. While brake pedal is depressed I turn the car off. I get a "Put car in P" message. Put car into park and message goes away. Open door and get the "Set Power to Off" message again. Obviously it seems to knows the difference between park and neutral when I turned it off... so maybe the Neutral safety switch isn't the issue.
Not sure what it could be? I figured Neutral safety switch or some type of brake pedal sensor but I'm not so sure now. I've got 4k left on my warranty but the two closest Mazda dealers are no longer Mazda dealers so a service call means a ~2hour drive one way. Just wanted to make sure where wasn't something quick I could check or try before making the drive.
