2004-2009 Mazda 3: Repair of sunroof so it will close/open

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 11:36:22 -0700

My sunroof is stuck in the 85% close position. Pushing either the open/close switch you just hear a 'rattat-tat' sound and the sunroof remains in the same position for most of the time. Some times it does move half an inch either way but that's all. I need to get under the headliner and be able to see if there are any small bolts loose/missing and what the track assembly looks like. Can you help and by chance also provide me with an excerpt from the factory service manual?

Sure. I thought I included it. It's a 2006 Mazda 3 and is a 4dr. Can you also find info for removing a portion of the overhead headliner in order to be able to work on the sunroof motor and track assembly?

Thank you.

2004-2009 Mazda 3: Why does my engine fan randomly stay on after the car is off?

Thu, 01 May 2025 01:29:44 -0700

Anytime I go to turn on the AC after I stop driving to my destination the engine fan stays on and continues running until I have to disconnect the negative charge on my battery under the hood. My question is what fuse or what do I need to do to get the engine fan to stop turning on by itself and staying on by itself?

2004-2009 Mazda 3: Is the AC clutch on a 2008 Mazda Mazda 3 replaceable?

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 12:13:39 -0700

So my girlfriend has a Mazda 3 2.3 sport, about 3 months ago the ac suddenly stopped working after a road trip. That being said I'm a mechanic at a local shop but much to my dismay we sub contract our ac work. After countless hours of electrical testing pressure checking and tons of homework I found the ac clutch was seized. Does any one know if the clutch could be replaced in order to get the ac going again or is it a complete ac compressor job?
