"If a fuse keeps blowing, it usually means something is amiss in the circuit. The wiring should be checked along with the components in the circuit to determine if there's a short or other problem."
I would start tracing the wires, if a majority of dash related systems are not working, you may have a mouse problem (friend of mine just had mice in his garage and they would get up in the engine and chew the wires), but regardless, try to follow the wire and see if you can find a damaged section. Getting in to steering columns can be quite a pain and I know a few people that have ended up spending more money than they would have originally. So I would recommend finding a reputable auto shop or one that specializes in electrical work.
Maybe an electrical problem, as far as that. Do you have an after market CD player hooked up.. may be hooked up wrong. Also if there are bare wires, you should cover the tips with black electrical tape.
2002 mazda ,,gauges are still working after taking out key..any ideas
Definitely take apart the gauges, check and make sure all cables are intact.
no they are not
Check your starter, my 87 b2000 was doing that. when i hit the brakes,turn signals, etc the CD player would cut off and back on. it was the starter!
"Why does my 1996 Mazda MPV EGI fuse keep blowing I previously had some lighting problems after launching a boat?"
Short in the wiring or the device it powers.
More than likely a short in the wiring.
First remove the two screws in the plastic cover surrounding the gauges. This piece snaps out, be gentle!! Then remove the 2 screws at the base of the gauges, also there is 1 screw at the top of the gauges. Then pull the gauges out, disconnect the three wiring harnesses. Thats it. simmpler then it sounds. Good luck
because you car is stupid
The fog light switch is beside the dimmer for the interior gauges, just above your hood release.
A blown fuse or a damaged computer would cause the turn signals, interior lights, and door locks not to work in the Mazda 3. The fuses are located under the dash on the driver's side of the car.
