2014 Mazda 3 Questions & Answers
2010 Mazda 3 daytime running light driver side doesn’t work changed bulb checked for power have no ground, ran test lead to battery - to bulb and bulb works. Checked wires for break couldn’t find any
When you ran a test lead from the battery, did you run a separate ground wire to the bulb? If yes -- confirming no ground from the original lamp connection -- try inspecting the body ground closest to the lamp: Remove, clean w/ wire brush or steel wool (both the connector and the nut/bolt holding it to the body), then try again. If still no luck, check ALL the body grounds in the engine compartment. If there's still no ground, try using a "quick splice connector" to connect a grounded bypass cable to the original grounding cable, near the lamp. (These connectors can be tricky. Instructions say you don't need to strip the sheathing on the cables, but I usually cut the sheathing with a knife to make sure there's a good connection.)Regarding HID lamps: for running lights, do the main headlights come on w/ reduced power, or is there a separate lamp? If it's a main headlight, maybe there's an issue w/ a step-down transformer, or whatever system is used to dim the lamp.

Ask Mr Mazda what is wrong as it must be something to do with the Heat of the day or He did something so as he can make MORE money from you.
Next time Rotate the tyres yourself as it will only take about half hour and cost nothing.
You can than SHOUT yourself a few BEERS this the money you saved
