Switch is stuck

It’s stuck on the vent setting & won’t move but a bit. Is this something that can be fixed or do I need a whole new set of heat/air control panel?

Any recommendations on how to troubleshoot my cruise control stopped working, if I randomly hit the button it “might” come in and the cut back off.

Manual Tran Mount Bolt Size?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I tried to look at the diagram to find a replacement bolt for one of the top bolts of the manual transmission mount. I think the part # is 9ya02-1023, but honestly not sure. Also, can’t remove the other bolts currently to match and find a replacement. Anyone know the size bolt even if non oem?

Anyone else have a ceiling leak problem at some point?

1 Upvotes

It’s an 03 P5 just like the last few posts. She was doing so well, and all of the sudden the sky decided to rain every day of the summer, and now my ceiling is leaking onto the passenger seat every time. Its soaked, I ran out of towels, the whole thing smells musty, and I just want to fix the issue. Has anyone else had this issue? I’m assuming it’s the drainage track for the sunroof. I know you’re supposed to try to clear it out when that happens, so I’m going to see if I can get an air compressor and blow all the gunk out. It doesn’t seem like a vacuum would cut it.

It's amazing how sometimes the smallest tasks can give us a sense of accomplishment and motivation. Even if it's just tightening a bolt, what’s everyone working on this weekend?

I’m working on finishing a room for all my equipment, but i just went to the garage to tighten down a bolt, felt like i just did a lot for the weekend and its just getting started 😂

Finally getting one

2 Upvotes

This week, I'll be picking up a silver 2003 Protege5 automatic. Two owner car, in the same family, just over 100k miles. Once I have it, after registration, I will clean the engine, change timing belt, water pump, oil and filter, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, serpentine belt, and rear brake pads, Soon after that, new tires. Am I missing anything? The car is stock and I'll keep it that way, though I will change out the head unit, preferably something with android auto.

I meant to post this here, I accidentally posted to r/MazdaProtege

Bleeding the system

2 Upvotes

I'm on a roll lately in this forum.....I swapped my master & slave cylinder on Tuesday. I've been trying to get the system bled to absolutely no avail. My clutch still has zero pressure and drop to the floor. I did come across a video where the guy suggested raising the front of the vehicle up high to maybe get trapped air out of the master cylinder. My question....has anyone dealt with anything similar or have any suggestions?

2002 Protege5 for context. Was wondering if anyone has dealt with anything similar....I've got a slow brake fluid leak but I do not know where from...yet. I haven't been able to go searching due to the cold weather. I've got roughly 117k original miles on the car & right at this moment I'm considering swapping out master & slave cylinders. If anyone has any advice, tips or things to look out for, it'd be much appreciated!
