Fuses
Your vehicle's electrical system is protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls don't work, inspect the appropriate circuit protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside element will be melted.
If the same fuse blows again, avoid using that system and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
Fuse Replacement
Replacing the fuses on the front passenger's side below the glove box
If the electrical system does not work, first inspect the fuses on the front passenger's side below the glove box.
1. Turn off the ignition switch and other switches.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Turn the knobs counterclockwise and lower the fuse block.
4. Locate the position of the suspected fuse by using the chart inside the fuse block cover.
5. Pull the fuse straight out with the fuse puller provided on the inside of the engine compartment fuse block cover.
6. Inspect the fuse and replace it if it's blown.
7. Insert a new fuse of the same amperage rating, and make sure it fits tightly. If it does not fit tightly, have an expert install it. We recommend an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one of the same rating from a circuit not essential to vehicle operation, such as the MIRROR or CIGAR circuit.
CAUTION:
Always replace a fuse with one of the
same rating. Otherwise you may
damage the electric system.
Replacing the fuses under the hood
If the headlights or other electrical components do not work and the fuses in the cabin are normal, inspect the fuse block under the hood. If a fuse is blown, it must be replaced. Follow these steps: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and all other switches.
2. Remove the fuse block cover.
3. If any fuse but the MAIN fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same amperage rating.
WARNING:
Do not replace the main fuse by
yourself. Have an Authorized Mazda
Dealer perform the replacement:
Replacing the fuse by yourself is
dangerous because the MAIN fuse is
a high current fuse. Incorrect
replacement could cause an electrical
shock or a short circuit resulting in a
fire.
