Mazda 3 Electric Windows
Hi
We have got a 2002 MX5 and a new coupe on order due in a couple of months. This problem though relates to our Mazda 3 Sport. We recently had a fairly flat battery but never disconnected it. May or may not be related but we now have problems with the electric windows. All 4 windows work fine from their own door controls. The other 3 windows do not however work from the driver's control. Any ideas? TIA for any advice. It is still under warranty. The battery was went too flat to start the engine because of infrequent use and probably a fairly high drain alarm. (UK model) |

It is still under warranty. Then it's the dealer's job to diagnose and fix it. If you mess with the electrics, you might void what's left of the warranty on the rest of the car. Better charge or replace the battery before you take it in. |

I think you ought to tell the dealer about the battery running low. It might

For no apparent reason they have now started working properly again. Perhaps turning on the ignition a few times over a few days of using the car re-set whatever whatever had gone awol. When I tried to start the car when the battery was nearly flat the dials and lights went berserk. Probably the software got a bit upset and just needed a few re-boots! |

On the Mazda3, the windows (and nearly everything else) are controlled by various computers; the switches only send signals to a CPU. Even the dome light works this way. Low voltage can prevent a CPU from booting properly, or at all. |
