battery

Just needed to clean the battery terminal as there is a lot of the acid build up on the negative terminal. After removing the terminals and cleaning them, and putting them back on, will I need any radio code as things get reset? 2016 CX-5 Sport

Good morning. We are considering purchasing a 2025 MHEV CX-90. I've browsed other forums, and see a good number of posts about the MHEV 48v battery issues that necessitate a replacement. Have any of you had this issue? We usually don't buy an extended warranty, but are thinking about it for...

Hello, This afternoon, after I started the car I got the battery management system malfunction warning. My Mazda 6 has around 86k km and it does starts ok. I know I have I-eloop and this can cause some issues including a special battery replacement. Did anyone tried to replace successfully...

Spent 45 minutes looking in owner's manual trying to find out how to open key fob to replace battery. Fob has been used for just on one year, and today instrument panel displayed that the fob battery was running low. Removing the key from fob doesn't show me much. I hate to just begin prying...

I have a 2016 CX-5 and today it wouldnt start. Now I did fully wash it and clean the interior, so the doors were open for some time, but really not for an enormous amount of time. I did not have accessories on or the radio. I cleaned all the seats and vacuum it out really good. Then 2 hours...

hello, my battery terminal wire has corroded and im wondering if anyone knows where the negative terminal wire grounds to? Ive noticed that there are 2 wires that go to the negative terminal. one wire runs under the battery mount and im unsure where it goes to. any help would be appreciated!!

My clock has failed after a battery disconnect, and found that Mazda is working on a permanent solution. However, I read it somewhere that there are interim repair procedures described in: TSB #SA-021-19 (September 4, 2019) NHTSA ID#10160581 and TSB #SA-021-19a (May 23, 2019) NHTSA...

After reading many posts and googling why my CX-5 warning light stays on while the i-Stop flashes, I came to a conclusion that I needed to replace the battery. Put an Optima Red Top 35, an AGM rather than an EFB like the factory installed battery. According to the ratings, its ranks third from...

hello, I bought a P5 and it had an after market amp installed but it wasnt working in it. long story short there was a fuse on top of the fuse box that was installed and an amp that has a ground wire also installed. it seemed to work for 2 days but when i tried to start the car it wouldnt turn...

I'll be out of the country for 6 weeks and don't have close enough friends to request spending 30 minutes every week or two driving my car, how should I store my car during this time? Is it safe to leave the battery disconnected during this time to reduce battery drain? I have heard topping...

Hi, I own a mazda 6 GT 2016 4 cyl. I got the "Battery System need to check" (something on those lines). I called the Jim Ellys dealership in ATL and the first thing they toll me over the phone is that I need a new battery and it will cost close to $600.00. I am just curious if is normal...

So I bought a CX-9 2018 last Wednesday, I had it for a day and then the next morning the car won't start, the dealership replaced the battery and sent me my merry way. I used car for another day and the next day it won't start again. I called up the dealership and they got my car in dealership...

Battery not charging Help! I have a 92 Mazda Protege 5 speed 4 cylinder. When driving at night the charge light comes on on the dash and after about 15 minutes the car dies. When checking the battery is just barely too dead to run the car. 4 new alternators have been put in and 2 new batteries...

My girlfriend has had her 2013 CX-5 for just over a year, ~72K miles, and has been blessed with no major issues untill today. On her drive home the traction control, tire pressure light came and master warning light came on all at the same time. About 20 minutes after that, the engine light came...

Looking for a solid battery in the $100 region. I know nothing about cars or the best place to find batteries other than AutoZone and Walmart, nor do I know anything about the best brands.

I had my car in today for mnt at dealer (oil change). I mentioned that it's been idling rough lately. His first question was if I had replaced the battery recently. I had. He then said that doing so reset some setting on the CPU that controlled the throttle. That the CPU opens the throttle more...

On CX5s and other Mazda's with the i-stop system, i-stop may not activate after the battery has been replaced or was disconnected during some servicing. In this case you will either need to ask your dealer to reset it, which they can by connecting up to the diagnostic system, or you can do it...

My battery has been very weak if it sits overnight in the cold after a few short trips (<2 miles), and in the morning the car wouldn't start. Come to find out, the water in the battery was practically bone dry. I filled up the six cavities with new distilled water, and so far, so good, but...

My battery died last night. It was really weird as when we walked up to the car the interior lights were still on (normally they'd time out wouldn't they?) The car unlocked normally. I pushed start and nothing, red key on dash, flashing push button (orange). We tried to jump it but the key was...

The i-stop have stopped working after removing the battery on a CX5 2016. I've read that it needs to anilize the car before it starts to work again. Its been more than a month. I see the manual refers to a reset that might need to be done... but not how.
