battery

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...

Hi everyone, We are having some issues with our Mazda 3. Code scanner is giving us a P0113 (IAT High Voltage) plus the TCS/DSC light comes on at the same time. The battery light also is coming on and off. the MAF/IAT was replaced about 8 months ago. Back at that point the car had hesitation and...

I have a '02 p5 that was sitting for a year and a half while i was stationed in Okinawa, JP. AAA came to jump my car while i was gone and they put a screwdriver in where the main fuse was and had my father start the car. It blew the stereo and now every time i go to start the car it dies out...

My 2008 battery is no longer working very well so I'm looking to replace it. Does anyone know what size should be purchased ? Also, is there a write-up or docs anywhere of how to replace it ? Disconnecting it is easy enough, but is there an easy way to get it out ? Thanks!

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...

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...

Hey Guys. Im new here. Just became a proud owner of 2002 P5 couple weeks ago. Car needs lots of work, so will be posting pictures soon. I just changed the factory stereo, to aftermarket player. Its all works. However today,when i stepped out of the car, I left the player on for 5 minutes, while...

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...

I changed the battery on my 06 Mazda3 and now the power door locks buttons on the driver and passenger doors dont function. Remote keyless also doesnt work, and I cant get the reprogramming methods to work. Any ideas? I need all the help I can get on this one.

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...
