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: Why does my driver window go down but can't go up alone?

Thu, 23 Mar 2023 13:28:58 -0700

My 2004 Mazda 3 hatch driver side window can go down without issue however it cannot go up on just its own. If I just move the driver side switch alone nothing happens. It can only go up if I try put another window up at the same time (eg flip the passenger or rear window switches in the up position at the same time I try the driver side window switch).

From my research it seems like a possible switch issue? However this workaround seems fairly unique so was curious if something else was going on. Thanks!

2009-2013 Mazda 3: What happened to my car.

Wed, 22 Feb 2023 10:59:49 -0700

The other day I come to a stop at a red light and my car starts shaking aggressively, the rpm’s drop to zero, the engine shuts off, and my dash board lights up. I take the key out put it back in and start the car up again it’s fine. I really have no idea what happened, I recently replaced my TCM and the car was driving fine after up until this point.
