battery

Hey guys, So I've had my cx-5 for a while now, and aside from the all the great things I'm still having some inconveniences with connecting my phone to the car via bluetooth and USB. Connecting via bluetooth takes down my battery waay fast, even if I'm not using my phone in any way Connecting...

I have roughly 16k miles on the cx5. Sat in the driveway for a few days. Wife tried to start the car and nothing. Key fob didn't unlock the doors, car didn't start etc... Called Mazda support, they cam out and jumped the car and everything was fine. Two days later, same thing happend...

Hello, Thanks to our frigid climate, my wife's battery has failed to start the car a couple of times now. When I test it with the voltmeter I get only 11.75V, so I believe it's about time for a new one. Usually a car battery replacement is pretty simple but when I looked under the hood this...

Can a squealing drive belt (since february 2012) cause battery problems and stalling? The squeal happens during cold starts and goes away as soon as i shift the gear. The instrument panel is dim and cuts off, horn is low, and radio cuts off. Yesterday after a 30 minute highway drive the car...

We've had dead battery problems the past couple months. The battery is not that old (Jan 2010), but it's been dead often for my wife. A quick charge of the battery gets it going again for a week or more and then it's dead again. She said sometimes when she's shut it off, the blue high-beam...

i have a protege5 and i keep getting the battery light turning on and most of the time it just shuts off after no more then a minute but when its really raining out it never shuts off and i lose power and eventually my car dies. i took my battery off after it happend last time when i got home...

I have a lot of added on electrical/audio equipment and I am currently in the process of upgrading my battery, but the main question is should I put in an HO alt? I have heard many negative things about doing this such as frying electrical system/computer, and want to know if there's anyone who...

So to start off I have an after market radiator/inter cooler, that is leaking and causing the car to over heat. From what I can tell the car has had this after market radiator put in, methanol water coolant installed, cold air intake, fuel control, and turbo timers and a blow off valve. The car...

first off im powering 2 rockford P315's, a hifonics 1700 amp, a P200-2 amp, punch 6.5 speakers, 2 farad capacitor, interior LED's (under dashboard), 12k HIDs, underglow kit and i thinks about it. (and may upgrade to much more powerful system BTW) But the problem is I'm still running it all...

Does anyone know what the largest dimensions will fit in the battery compartment of the 05 mazda3 hatch. Im away from my car for next 2 months but need to buy battery online by end of july and im not sure how big of a battery i can fit. Want to put in a Kinetik hc2400 but dont think it will fit...

I took apart the EGR yesterday. Soaked it with a carbon cleaner overnight and put everything back together. I know I attached all the wires. Turned the key and all I hear is a clicking sound. The battery leads are free of corrosion because I just cleaned them also. Lights and radio are...

I've searched around and not seen this anywhere... The factory alarm on our 08 Mazda5 GT has started going off randomly when locking/unlocking/opening/closing doors. It's been a sporadic thing up to now, but today it went crazy. First, the key fob wouldn't lock the car, then when I opened...

2002 Protege5 2.0L Automatic Trying to get my old ride running again. It has been sitting in a garage for 2yrs as I have a dead alternator(belt disco'd), but I also just swapped the battery on my 02. The Alternator is loose but the bottom retaining bolt head snapped off(whole other story). All...

So my car can jump and start properly, and if it's running, it'll run all day, so I know it's not the alternator, but if I shut it off, the battery drains FAST! (Like in 15 minutes) I've bought more than 1 new battery, so I know it's not a faulty battery. There are no fuses blown, so I don't...

okay sorry, the other battery light flashing post is not the problem im having, i was just gonna piggy back off of it, but on my own post i can be more specific! ------------------- Problem: Upon mid to high RPM's my cars battery light will flash (probally for a maximum of 2 seconds, then it...

Hello, Hope someone can help with this issue. I did a lot of searches with various word combos, but the closest I could find was a to-do list after battery is reconnected, but it didn't mention anything like what I am experiencing. Vehicle: 2008 CX-9 Touring with Assistance Package + Factory...

Hey everybody, Just bought an '08 3s h-back a couple months ago. Now I regret not going for a speed3 but one step under isn't the end of the world... I hope to get some good advice out of these forums for mod'n it. So far its been a great car but I've noticed a couple of small issues with it...

I was planning on doing what i thought was an easy wiring upgrade, "Big 3" Have a 2004 mazda 6s, and it looks like the alternator doesnt run a 6 or 8 gauge wire to the battery, it looks like it has a wire harness that connects to it... is that true? So how would I replace/upgrade the wire...

Hey everyone, got a bit of an issue I was hoping someone could help with. Twice now, I've come out to my Speed3 to find that it won't start. I check the battery voltage, and it's usually hovering within the 10v-11.2v range. This always happens when I let the car sit for more than two days...

Hey everyone, Brand spankin new to this forum. I need some advice on connecting my iphone 3G to my mazda3 2006. Here is what I am hoping to go with if I hear that it is in fact compatible (many forums say it is). THE R2 kit as I have to plug it behind the SAT compartment on the HU...
