It is in front of the radiator and the horn itself can be bad.
More than likely incorrectly aligned or buckled pulley or overtightened or seized pully
The voltage regulator is built into the alternator. I found this out when I was given an alt with a bad VR and was pushing 19v instead of 12.
Its a bit challenging..
But you need to remove a couple of plugs mainly the harness that runs along the top of the engine its black.
Once you do that remove the coils and wires, and begin to unscrew the bolts
When you install, just do it hand tight and tighten in an X pattern starting from the middle working left to right and then the edges
There are three screws that hold the center of your steering wheel on. once you take these screws off you will see that the center of the wheel where the horn trigger is has but a piece of foam in it to keep the horn from going off after time the foam will break down replace the foam and you are good to go.
I don't know a lot about cars, but I just bought a 97 neon. Just pop the face plate off that surrounds the stereo, unscrew the bolts holding it in place, pull it out and disconnect the 3 wires attaching it. -Cody-
You should check your owners manual. If you don't have it, then I can tell you.
If you have the bulb already, unplug the cord from the back of the headlight. Remove the sealing cover, a black rubbery ring that surrounds the bulb. You next need to unlatch the bulb retaining spring by pushing down on it, and then pulling it outwards. If done correctly, it should swing outwards, allowing you to pull out the bulb assembly. Once you have pulled out the bulb assembly, all you have to do is pull the headlight off of the thing that looks like it would be plugged into a wall outlet. Put the new bulb where the old one was, put the assembly back in the headlight, making sure that the headlight fits in properly and is aligned properly, swing the latch back around and lock it into place by first pushing down on the end of the retaining spring and then swinging it inward while still pushing downwards. Place the sealing cover back on, making sure it is on securely and that the arrow that is on the front is pointing upwards, and then plug the electrical connector back in and you should be good to go! Make sure to test it before you go driving.
One note: Don't touch the glass portion of halogen bulb with your barehands. The oils from your skin could cause the bulb to overheat when in use and explode.

The idle air control valve is also known as the idle speed valve. On a 1999 1.6 literÊMazda Protege, it is located at next to the throttle body.Ê
You need a big Socket (32MM I believe). Once you take off the nut the Drum will come right off.
I have '95 MX6. Yes, a 32MM socket is needed. However, it is also possible that a large jaw clamp puller may need to be used in order to dislodge the bearings from the spindle. They seem to get stuck on there.
Mine broke too. You have to replace the whole thing. Not just the clasp. I recommend buying one online. Otherwise, the dealer will charge $300 or more.
Behind the glove box.Remove the glove box and on top of the duct work for your heat is a little black box,that is your relay.Unplug it and replace it,plug the new one back in and your ready to go.
about 5mm then after that they will get hot and squeak
call your local O'Reilly Auto Parts store. they are usually the cheapest. If you find someone with a lower price, oreilly will match it. autozone is your next best thing. they do the price match thing too
If you still have your owners manual it shows you how to change the bulb if not you disconnect the 3 pronged plug from the back of the light and there is a metal spring that releases the bulb. Once you have disconnected those you simply take out the old bulb and put in a new one repositioning the metal spring which holds the bulb in place and reconnecting the 3 pronged plug. Voila let there be light!
Just replaced passenger side low beam bulb. 12 minutes. saved $75.
Remove one bolt holding steering fluid bottle and lift out of the way as much as you can. Take out the stopper for the windshield fluid and put aside. Get as much room as you can. Pull off the white two-wire base. It is probably stuck so fool with it until it comes off. It just fits into a two-prong black base. No strange stuff. Take off rubber shield entirely. It just fits around the black base and slides off easily. Look down at the bulb to see the black base held in with a metal cage clip. The right side has a rounded wire latch with the round side pointing down. That releases the cage. Use screwdriver, long-nose pliers, or fingers to push the round wire clip slightly toward the front of the car and down slightly. It is barely holding the cage. Move the cage out of the way. Pull out the bulb assembly and remove the bulb from the black base. Put the bulb/base assembly back into the headlight. Swing the cage back over the black base. Reattach the cage by hooking the rounded clip back under the little metal lip you took it off from. Stretch the rubber hole in the shield slightly and push over the black base and around the opening. Reinstall white wire base. Replace fluid bottle and bolt. Replace windshield funnel top. Finished! I'd advise using bulb prong lubricant to keep it from sticking in the future.
On top of the radiator right next to the fan

Have your Mazda dealer parts department print out a picture of the relays location for you. They will do this if you ask them.
if your horn wont go off its a short to power or faulty conector
