Mazda 3 electrical multiple problem

Hi, one morning suddenly I found my Mazda 3 infected with the following electrical symptoms: - keyless entry doesn't work - car stereo and interior lights don't work - power lock switches don't lock (although unlock works). Both doors are the same - when I start the car, all instrument panel needles go to maximum for about 1 sec -

SOURCE: keyless entry on honda civic 2006 not working

The keyless entry is designed to work with the doors closed (closed - not locked). If the door ajar sensor thinks the door is open the keyless entry is disabled. When you manually lock the door it might tighten the door just enough to activate the keyless entry. I would try slamming all the doors closed and then see if the keyless entry works. If it still wont work have the wiring checked on the front door lock.

SOURCE: Power door locks do not work with keyless remote control

There are two multiplex control units - one on the driver side and one onthe passenger side - which one did you unplug? The one on the driver side is the main "Brain" while the other one is the one that houses the keyless reciever. According to the service manual, any troubleshooting of this system must begin with the one on the driver side. It can get quite involved because Honda does not provide actual troubleshooting (symptom) charts, just descriptions of the electrical connectors and what conditions should be present at each conector pin under what system condition. (each pin has to be tested to determine what is malfunctioning) The system is not capable of outputting fault codes of any kind.

Were is the fuse for the interior lights of an 2001 Lincoln continental?

All interior light's not working ? Instrument cluster , dome light's , switch light , instrument panel , map ,reading lamps etc...... Probably not a fuse problem , more then likely the LCM - lighting control module . Do you know anything about automotive electronics ? Control modules ? DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's ?
Illuminated Entry The illuminated entry system:
  • is controlled by the lighting control module.
  • provides courtesy lighting upon entry to and exit from the vehicle.
The keyless entry keypad illuminates when any keyless entry keypad button is pressed, regardless of the ignition switch position. The keyless entry keypad remains illuminated for five seconds after a handle is raised or for five seconds following the last keypad button pressed. Courtesy lamps will be illuminated for 25 (±1) seconds which includes a theater lighting ramp-up time (two seconds). This time interval does not include the theater lighting ramp-down time. Courtesy lamps will be turned off before the 25 (±1)-second timeout if the ignition switch is turned to the RUN or ACC position. NOTE: When the illuminated entry feature is activated by using the keyless entry remote transmitter, the keyless entry keypad does NOT illuminate. The illuminated entry system has the following additions to accommodate the keyless entry system:
  • Pressing any button on the keyless entry keypad or pressing the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry remote transmitter will activate the illuminated entry system (with theater ramp-up). When the driver door module detects a button press, it sends a signal on the J1850 communication network activating the courtesy lamps. The keypad will remain illuminated for five seconds following the illuminated entry ON signal transition or for five seconds following the last keypad button press.
  • If the keyless entry keypad 7/8 and 9/0 buttons are pressed concurrently (to lock the doors) or the LOCK button on the keyless entry remote transmitter is pressed:
    • the lighting control module will turn off the lamps by sensing the all doors lock signal.
    • the driver door module will also turn OFF the keyless entry keypad illumination when the last two keyless entry keypad buttons are pressed concurrently.
    • Lamps, Courtesy Courtesy lamps can be turned on by using the panel dim switch located on the headlamp switch assembly or by opening any door. A theater lighting feature gradually increases or decreases the light intensity when switched by opening or closing a door. Courtesy lamps (controlled by the lighting control module) are activated by using the dome lamp switch (instant ON/OFF response) or when a door is ajar. The following lamps illuminate for courtesy lighting:
      • instrument panel courtesy lamps
      • front map lamps
      • rear reading lamps
      • Inspection and Verification
        1. Verify the customer's concern by operating the courtesy and demand lamps to duplicate the condition.
        1. Inspect to determine if one of the following electrical concerns apply:


          VISUAL INSPECTION CHART Electrical
          • Damaged lamps
          • Damaged switches
          • Stuck switches
          • Open fuse junction panel Fuses:
            • 1 (10A)
            • 4 (10 A)
            • 5 (10 A)
            • 7 (15A)
            • 13 (15A)
            • 19 (10A)
            • 25 (10A)
            • 31 (15A)
            • 39 (10A)
          • Open power distribution box Fuse 9 (40A)
          • Open bulbs
          • Loose connectors
          • Corroded connectors
        1. If inspection reveals an obvious concern that is readily serviced, correct the concern before continuing with Inspection and Verification.
        1. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the Rotunda New Generation Star (NGS) Tester 007-00500 or equivalent to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel to perform Data Link Diagnostics Test. If the NGS responds with NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED for the lighting control module, go to Pinpoint Test AA . If the NGS responds with NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED for the driver door module, go to Pinpoint Test AB . If the Data Link Diagnostic test is passed for the lighting control module and driver door module, retrieve continuous DTCs and execute self test diagnostics for the suspect module(s).
        1. If self test is passed and no DTCs are retrieved, GO to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.
        1. If DTCs are retrieved for the lighting control module, go to the Lighting Control Module (LCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnosis. If DTCs are retrieved for the driver door module, go to the Driver Door Module (DDM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics.
        1. If the lighting control module cannot be accessed by the NGS tester, go to Pinpoint Test AA . If the driver door module cannot be accessed by the NGS tester, go to Pinpoint Test AB .
        Rotunda Service Bay Diagnostic System (SBDS®) 001-00001 may also be used to diagnose this system.

Can I use a 4button keyless remote to replace a 3 button keyless remote

Hi,
Is the 3-button remote from Mazda too? If it is and it's from the same year range as your MPV it may work. In other words, many car makers used the same type of keyless remotes on all their vehicles in a given year range. But if the 3-button is much newer or older you're probably out of luck. You can search on Ebay to see what types of remotes were sold for your year car.

If this is NOT a Mazda remote and neither was the 4 button they may use a different frequency (think 'radio station') and won't 'talk' to the car's keyless remote compuer.

I have a 96 ford conversion van with a 600 plus addon keyless system and need to program new keyless remots , need to know how to get system in program mode.

Hi.

To program ( or reprogram ) a keyless entry remote transmitter into the remote keyless entry module, perform the following steps:

1. Turn the key to ON or ACC and short the two terminals of the program connector, a two-pin connector located below the driver's side of the instrument panel at the base of the steering column. All doors should lock and then unlock.
2. Press any button on each keyless entry remote transmitter in turn. All doors should lock and then unlock. If the door locks do not respond, press the button again (up to three times maximum with the same keyless entry remote transmitter). If the door locks still fail to respond, go to Pinpoint Test A.
3. Repeat Step 2 to program additional keyless entry remote transmitters into the remote keyless entry module (up to four keyless entry remote transmitters maximum).
4. Turn key off.
5. Remove the short from the program connector. All doors should lock and then unlock.
6. Verify that the keyless entry remote transmitters have been successfully programmed by pressing the LOCK or UNLOCK button on each one, and observing that the system responds by locking and/or unlocking the doors.


I hope this helps you.

Thanks!
