On top of the steering column, there is a small access cover. Pry that off with a small screwdriver and underneath there is a bypass that you can press to shift the car back to Park.

Overdrive is always on by default every time you turn on the engine, even if last time you drove you turned it off. Given that Mazda does this, I believe it is their intention to use overdrive all the time. However, there are times I would turn it off. This would be when going up and down small hills where the transmission has to constantly change gears. It has to downshift when going up hill, and upshift going down hill. To minimize how many times it has to go in and out of overdrive, I turn it off on those kind of drives. Also, when towing a heavy load, I recommend turning it off, since it is not designed for the extra load.

OE is group size 40R, but it will take 96R as well.

about $250

It's not easy, but it is achievable with cost, though it won't be a milestone in mileage.

You can change the gear ratios to ones from the Ford Escape since they are lower, and give the car more hp so it doesn't downshift too much trying to get up hills.

The tribute system is a system in which defeated people were forced to pay a tax in the form of goods and labor. This forced transfer of food, cloth, and other goods subsidized and development of large cities. An important component of the Aztec and Inca economies.
[ found it in my history book:)]

I went to another auto mechanic who asked "Is it the ABS kicking in?" I told him I didn't think it was because I thought it didn't sound/feel like the ABS but after a while I thought it could be. The question was how do I test it to make sure it is the ABS? I decided to remove the fuse for the ABS from the fuse panel to see what would happen. The problem disappeared for two months. I put the fuse back in and the problem started happening again right away. I think the wheel speed sensors for the ABS system might be broken. I will take the car to the same mechanic who suggested the problem might be the ABS and see if he can fix the problem. I'm soooo glad this problem is solved. However, now I have to pay to get it fixed. :-(

Pretty sure you mean "E.G.R. Valve" and not ERG. E.G.R stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve.

Instead of letting all of the gas out of the exhaust of the vehicle after the mixture is burnt in the compression cylinder, some of it is recirculated into the intake manifold.

This is done because not all of the vaporized gas is burnt out of the mixture that goes into the compression cylinder.

So this recycles some of the unburnt mixture, and reduces the amount of pollution emitted by your vehicle.

Mazda says to use their "Mazda Premium Gold", which they charge $18.00 a gal.

The Ford Escape which is built at the same plant as the Mazda and Ford says to use their "Motorcraft Premium Gold" which is the same as that of Mazda and it cost$12.00 a gal.

I use personally use Peak brand that mixes (blends) with all antifreeze, it does the job with no problems and cost between $8 - $10 a gal.

Pry up the chrome ring around the shifter.

Lift up the console lid and pull out the black container.

Pull up the center console from the cup holder end, it is held down with snap in clips.

Now, on the drivers side, on a black box in front of the shifter, the code is on the top-right corner of a white sticker upside down.

There may not be one.

The same as a Ford Explorer of the same year.

"What is the gazebo looking dashboard warning light on a 2003 Mazda tribute and why does it stay on for a minute before shutting off when you initially start the car Mazda tribute and why does it stay on for a minute before shutting off when you initially start the car?"

The noise is coming from the fuel pump , Mine got louder until I got fed up of it so changed it for a new one not cheap but worth it for some peace and quiet. It might of kept going for longer but it was about to fail so instead of getting stuck somewhere It was changed. The pump was causing a few problems hard to start and a bit hesitant as its electric the bearings were causing the noise and you can't lubricate it. Shame there not cheaper to buy??

The Mazda Tribute has been production since model year 2007. The exact fuel filter will vary by year. The OEM fuel filter for the 2011 Mazda Tribute with the 3.0L V6 is Ford Motorcraft #FG872.

The heater on the 03 Mazda Tribute is going in and out. What is the problem and how can it be fix?
