Cx9..2009 with board fob..my key light on the dash is on and stays on while driving can't open doors with fob only the the trunk ..I tried this method still didn't go into programming mode

Mate love you video's, they have helped me out a few times

Thank you so much for making this video. It was so clear and informative that I, a 60 yo woman was able to activate my mazda 3 key fob.

Idk how old this vid is but mine is something similar to this although I was going 75 on the freeway when mine cut engine power so hopefully this works to turn on haha man I love owning unique cars haha

Does it really matter if I buy one from ebay not original

Hey - been stuggling with my RX8 starting after a protracted time off of the road whilst I rebuilt rhe suspention. I knew it was only flooded but could not get to to fire. Watching your method, took a while but it has finally started. So Thanks very much for your video.

It was super easy. But the panic button won't work

What if it turns over slow? Does this still work?

Thank you Ray! Did the left side this evening with my son! Smiles all around. Thank you!

Please how to reset the car key icon on dashboard for 2007 mazda6

Excellent

Is there still a place to buy the rubber grommet? I couldn´t find any online

I hope you’re still fixing things, this was a great help. Thank you! Just got mine out and it’s looking like a replacement. But overall exactly the type of mechanic I’d want to work on my car if I wasn’t able to!

Just saved my ass dude thank you so much. Just bought a 05 for 4000 and drove great for a couple days saved our ass

I just got an 05 RX8 2 weeks ago and i was moving it around in my garage quickly and didnt let it warm up before i turned it off. This video helped me when I flooded it the next day trying to get to work. worked on the 7th try

It don’t work

All it takes for mine is to sit for 30 min then it fires up

2024 and still a handy video... spent an hour trying to get this in, now will take 5 minutes... #sigh - thanks for making the effort.

Useless car will not go into programming mode.

Jesus, you have no idea how much money youve saved for all of us 😭

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Ty Ty Ty Ray. Great videos for people that want to work on their own car and have a Mazda 3. Very good young man ty

Great vid, I did mine and my old mount was completely shot like yours.

Some people said about spraying Starter fluid into the intake manifold or something about by the windshield wiper fluid location as well after doing this video Steps. Where would you spray this in to be exact 🤔

After so many tries of replacing a bulb with my friend's mazda mpv, we took it to valvoline for an oil change and the guy was nice to put the bulb in a minute. 👍Thanks for this video, know we know.

Helped out a lot thanks.

This video is the best SSV removal video I've seen. Thank you.

very to the point .... well done

What holds the bulb. Tight? Apparently, I'm not latching it properly?

Thank you!!! Straight to the point and it worked💯💯

Having trouble on my ‘08 40th anniversary (GT trim) that comes standard with the smart key card type. I wanted to program the switchblade key fob. Fiddling around the cycle worked (door open/close/lock/unlock triggered) but I had to do the On/Off ignition 4x instead of 3 with the key card key in ignition. Difference was when it cycled- the cycle locked/unlocked, sounded the warning horn, then unlocked the trunk. I did this cycle pressing the lock twice no luck. Then again with the unlock button on my switchblade fob- no luck. I also try to fiddle holding the button but to no avail. However- I was able to connect still the keycard type fob to the car. If anyone else has a GT trim with a switchblade fob programmed please let me know as I might just take it to the dealer to program the switchblade but only IF it is possible.

Prefect. No nonsense. No wasting time. Everything is straight to the point and in order. Thanks for a great video. I am subscribing to your channel.

Thank You!

This is simple- oil & filters are cheap (usually less than $30 for materials for most cars). Engines are expensive. If you do your own changes, not that difficult even for the average person, you don't pay for labor and you are sure that it was done and what products were used. The oil & filter change on the average vehicle should only take about an hour, and used oil can usually be disposed of at your local recycling center. For most vehicles only 2 tools are required- a wrench or socket for the drain plug, and an oil filter wrench. Since 1970, I have changed the oil & filter in all of my vehicles every 5,000 miles, which I increased to 7,000 miles after I started using full synthetic, and I have never had an oil related issue with a vehicle (cars, motorcycles and trucks). Even mechanically challenged people can probably find a friend or relative who can be trusted to do an oil change correctly.

Hey dude your memes are crazy jajajaaj Amé el video.

Followed your instructions and they worked perfectly. Thanks man, saved me some money. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Thanks for the video! Replaced the worn down batteries in the remotes very quickly!

U make it look easy

My 14 years old RX-8 is needing more attention these days, and videos like these are rare finds that allow me to have a better idea of what every intervention entails. Thanks for that, still very usefull 8 years down the line...

Don't work it Mazda 323f protege

Hello fellows. I am mazder too. Bought 2003 mazda rx-8 in good shape but with some problems. My engine dont start while its hot. Also overheating a lil bit hire than middle line on termometer. Also have another strange problem. When i am starting my engine my steering wheel is moving whery tight and when car is stalled and, as i told above, dont start agin i were try to start it from pulling car method until it start. After that way of cranking engine my steering wheel starts to work fine until i stop it and try to start it again when its cold. Please if you have any ideas i ll try it and give information. Could be fun to communicate that way

Hey man I was wondering do you know what I would have to do to fix a intake valve control bank 1 code?

please understand when I say these words THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! been trying to figure out this simple explanation that you had gave us! Truly I mean every word I said Thank you so so much!!!! like almost 2 hours of different video on youtube trying to find the correct answer .

Correct me if I'm wrong. But nothing was mentioned about the gasket that goes on the SSV and thermostat housing. Those HAVE to be replaced. And they cant be gotten locally unless you have a rotary shop in your area. Thought I would get the car together same day. Turned into a week because I had to order gaskets. Why put an old thermostat back into a car that already has a ton of issues? Lol. Just replace it, this job isn't particularly easy. Do it right. Do it once.

So now my RX8 just got flooded and then I followed to procedure till it started again. Engine light is on and got "Cylinder 1 Missfire" code

Excellent video. After replacing all mounts on my '08 Mazda 3 2.3 it now has four issues: 1) engine light on 2) idles a little rough 3) fan came on right away after starting even though the car sat for three days and 4) the automatic transmission shifts good, but shifts hard if that makes sense. I did not change out the coolant sensor, but I will tomorrow. Anything else you can think of that might be causing these issues? All electrical cables and plugs are plugged back in.

Is the manual and automatic motor mount are the same? For a rx8

Hey what’s going man , I’m here from your other video about how to deflood the rx8 I have an 04 manual , I got it on but It still continues to flood. I got a diagnostic done and got (Power Train system) along with code for P0301: Cylinder 1 misfire . Everytime I drive it will make flood noise not allowing me to give it gas . And when I come to a stop it’ll turn off . I don’t know if it can be my coils , plug wires , or my fuel injectors . Is there anything you did that you would suggest . Appreciate it

Instead of using a hammer to knock the knuckle off and an air-hammer to put it back on with, there's an easier way. When you've taken the knuckle bolt out, wedge a large plate washer between the unthreaded hole of the knuckle and the strut. Then thread the bolt through from the other side (threaded side) until it meets the flat surface of the plate washer that's blocking the unthreaded hole and tighten until the knuckle expands slightly, then slide the knuckle off easily by hand. (You don't need to remove the axle nuts or drive shafts from the hub BTW.) If your new strut has a "slotted" bolt locater, leave the bolt and washer in the knuckle while you fit the strut, then just slide it back on into place when the new strut's in. When the knuckle's back in place, remove the bolt and washer and put the bolt back in its proper place and tighten and you're good to go. No hammering needed. This works especially well when the knuckle is very rusty and can take ages to knock off with a hammer. The top mount of the wing can suffer especially on an old or rusty car if the knuckle is hit too hard. I would also remove the track rod end from the knuckle before starting the job because you can get a trauma leak from the steering rack if it's old. Also, always draw a circle around the three old top bolts before loosening them, and make sure the new bolts are in exactly the same place when you've finished, otherwise the camber (tilt) of the new strut will be off.

I ray, what if I don't have the engine?
