How do you replace the serpentine belt for a 1993 Mazda Protege?
you have to loosen a bolt on the front of the AC compressor, I think its a 12mm. You loosen it and the the AC compressor will then be able to rotate downward, sometimes the compressor gets stuck with age and you might need to tap it down with a mallet. Once the compressor rotates downward the tension in the belt will be gone and you can change the belt. Then tighten the same bolt until you achieve the desired tension
Why would a 98 Mazda protege have no brake lights?
Because neither brake light works, it is unlikely that it's due to burnout of the bulb filaments, all at the same time.
Without doing a "hands on troubleshooting" of the brake light circuit no one can tell you what specific defect is causing the problem.
However, here are some of the possible causes you need to check for:
- The fuse for that circuit has "blown."
- Brake light switch mounting is not properly adjusted.
- A connector plug somewhere in the circuit has become "unplugged," or loose.
- A conductor [wire] somewhere in the circuit has been cut, broken, "pinched," or pulled apart.
- Corrosion has occurred inside any one or more of the connector plugs, or at any connection/splice, in the circuit. Corrosion can "block" the flow of electrical current just the same as if a wire were cut.
- The brake light switch has become defective [this is usually the "last" thing to fail].
There are probably a few more that I can't think of at the moment. Good luck!

Where in fuse box is tail light fuse 1997 Mazda protege?
I think its on the driver side there should be a panel on the right hand side near the excellerator
The red flag that answers this question is "in the middle of a cold night." Inside the pad in the center of the steering wheel are the contacts which close the horn circuit when the pad is depressed. Until someone depresses the pad, the contacts are held apart by a piece of foam. The foam deteriorates with age, and "in the middle of a cold night," which is when the horn blares, the foam further shrinks, allowing the contacts to close the switch and sound the horn.
Possible solutions:
1) Replace old foam with new foam, and you may get another 15 or so years normal service, depending on how often you further deteriorate the foam by pressing on it.
2) For a temporary fix, remove the fuse. The problem with this is that you will now have no brake lights, not only a ticketable violation in any jurisdiction, but dangerous as well. The fusebox layout was obviously designed by a committee, as it is inconceivable that any one person could have been so stupid as the run a horn and brakelights on the same fuse circuit.
3) Cut the wire, or if you can find it, disconnect the horn wire at a junction point. The horn itself (in a '93 Protege, and, I'm guessing, in a '92 as well), is located in the right front fender area. Open the hood, look down there, and you'll see it. Unless you plan on having your vehicle inspected by the law, you don't need your horn anyway. It is a required piece of equipment where I live, but I never use it anyway.
How do you replace a freeze plug in a 1991 Mazda Protege?
I have never replaced one this model but in order to change a freeze plug you really need to pull the entire engine out and usually many of the accessories on the engine in order to pull it out with a channel lock or similar tool. than simply tap a new freeze plug in.
Is the 2000 Mazda protege obd2 certified and will any obd2 tool will work on this car?
To my knowledge, an OBDII scanner tool will read any OBDII system in any vehicle. And yes, the 2000 Mazda has the OBDII system. Incase you did not know. All vehicles sold in the US 96 and newer are required to have an OBDII system.
Can you install a turbo kit in a fs-ze engine?
As said earlier you can turbo any engine, but for the FSZE engine... it is already high compression engine so adding a turbo to it wouldn't make much sense without swapping out the pistons for low compression pistons. e
Many of the newer head bolts are tightened all bolts to a specific torque spec then tighten all bolts another 90 degrees or whatever the manufacturer recommends and possibly even another step. The idea is to tighten in stages so that you do not warp the head.
What is size Mazda Protege 2000 wiper blade?
The 2000 Mazda Protege wiper blade sizes are 21" drivers and 19" passenger side wiper blades. See Sources and Related Links below for more information. Since there are over 22 different wiper arm attachments, do not buy wipers just by length only. Be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers by vehicle make, model and year for the brand wiper you decide to purchase. This ensures correct length AND correct attachment.
How do you replace the thermostat on a 2002 Mazda Protege?
Remove the negative battery cable, remove rad filler cap and find the lower rad hose. Get a container as when you remove the hose from the engine side, you will lose 3-4 litres of coolant. You may want to remove the air intake box that runs on top of the rad (2 10mm bolts) first. Once hose is off the thermostat is behind the cover the hose was connected to..remove the 2 12mm bolts and replace unit with a new seal. Reverse process, add new coolant and follow procedures to ensure no air lock in coolant system occurs.

Why does my 1999 Mazda protege stumble when you slow down then speed back up?
I am not a ASE certified tech but I would have to say that it's probably a sensor maybe the MAF or MAP sensor could even be bad fuel injectors.....Is there an Engine light on? Scanning the ECM with a OBD II scanner is the easyest way to find out a problem..but that only works if the check engine light is on
Why does my Mazda Proteges overdrive go off and on on its own?
My Mazda Protege LX did the same thing, especially when it was hot out. I eventually found out it was a loose wire behind my overdrive switch located in the shift column. The overdrive button pops right out with a tight grasp and a little tug. See if both wires are still connected to the switch.

How to check fluid for Clutch 1997 Mazda protege?

How do you change the alternator belt on a 2000 Mazda Protege?
no need to loosen the lines. only simple tools needed. move stuff out of the way, and bang it out. watch what your doing and try to understand it. its very simple, look at it one part at a time On a 2.0 litre engine the alternator belt is blocked by the front belt that drives the power steering pump. You need to remove the power steering pump belt to get to the alternator belt. For both belts there is a tension bolt mounted on the power steering pump and the alternator, respectively. Loosne that bolt to relieve the tension on the belts and then remove them. Replace the belts and tighten the bolts to the proper tension. There is not much room to reach the alternator tension bolt so you may have to unmount a few hard powersteering lines to reach it.
Where is the flasher unit on a 1992 Mazda Protege?
Not 100% sure but I think its the relay on top of the fuse box right over the pedals on the RHD models - for Mazda 323 diesel.
