2005 Mazda B3000 Cab - Page 5 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

there is a switch that completes the circuit for the ignition and the starter to work that is the safety switch may be located in the dashboard where the shift lever check or have it check also the circuit and the fuse that may control it or the relay

take the caliper off and check the brake pad slides to make sure the pads arent sticking and dragging. also check the wheel bearing to see if it is bad because it can cause the rotor to set at a slant and rub on the pads.

Turn the ignition switch ON to operate the fuel pump and check the fuel pressure. It should be 64-92 psi.

could be the oil preasure sending unit

remove door panel for access

I have a very loud squealing noise in my 2003 mazda mvp engine when i accelerate. We removed the belts which would eliminate belts as the problem. And that's that it. If anyone has any info please let me know.
Thank you

HI. The correct manufacturers weight requirement for this vehicle will be 5W-20.

Bearings most likely ....inners and outers ....if you do one best to do both sides .....

it requires a special tool that only has two jobs,removal of power steering pulleys and installing them,you can get this at NAPA,or Autozone for $30.00

the the driver side of the transmission case.

check all connections again

Check to see if the manual dome light switch is on.If it shows it is off ,then the switch that operates it is bad,the manual switch.

Try testing the brake switch (it is behind the brake pedal) for 12V and continuity between wires when engaged. You can also try checking the brake light relay. It is located on the fuse block.

i hope this helps

You have replaced the heater core and still get no heat? If this is so try a new thermostat.If there is something else going on i will need more onfo.

switch is going out

You will find the starter purpendicular to the flywheel, typically at the 8 to 10 or 2 to 4 oclock position.

please remember to disconnect the battery NEGATIVE first.

Could be a throw out bearing or the shift fork is broke.

Check your Nuetral Saftey switch. If you have a hydralic clutch this could be the issue as well. Your best bet, unless you are comfortable working on transmissions, is to take it to a service location to have this done since it is a very sensitive part that usually requires special tools to repair.

could be the egr valve

Jack up the car as normal remove the wheel put another jack under the wishbone jack it up until you relieve the tension on the balljoint. If the nut on the end of the balljoint is looking up remove the balljoint screws and nut if the nut is looking down then you may have to remove the front drive in order get the balljoint out.
