Electrical short in engine wire harness. Caused Engine bus bar #1 to pop fuse repeatedly after changing several sensors/parts. Still can't dind |
| 189000 mi US $2500 |
After changing the entire engine and body harness, I discovered the culprit was the purge valve connector behind the fuel tank and charcoal canister. It was shorted causing the eng #1 fuse to pop. After 7 months and $2500, I finally got the car to run but probably needs a new body control module but don't know which one to get: the Mazda base or Mazda GT. The harness came from a base but I own a GT? |

| 4000 mi | The gas cap would not release, I've found other reports of similar issues on these cars now that I've looked. This happened while low on gas and trying to fill up. Luckily, I had enough gas to make it to the dealer, where they replaced my gas cap. |
