It's been ages since I posted but Aloha from Hawaii. I still have my 2001 LX 2.0 and have 42,000 miles and I too still appreciate my Mazda! I always keep the car clean, but recently applied Blackfire wax and now the Sand Mica has that mirror look! I also purchased my Mazda in April 2001. Enjoy your Mazda everyone! Read More...

Fog fuse

Written by: jmzablaze187 on Oct 11, 2009 08:28 PM

Hello...I recently just bought a 2001 Mazda Protege ES and I am having problems with the fog lights. The fuse closest to the driver side of the car keeps blowing. I have gone through 6 (15A) fuses. I try turning on the fog lights and they just flicker and go off which usually means the fuse has gone. Any ideas? Or should I take to dealer? Read More...

The high beam bulbs are also the low beam bulbs Interesting. I guess Mazda changed this in 2002 because my Protege has separate bulbs for high & low beam. Read More...

2001 Mazda Protege Low beams will not turn on!

Written by: clarkwd on Sep 29, 2009 08:23 PM

My little yellow lights work and so do my high beams. The high beam bulbs are also the low beam bulbs. I checked the fuses and they are good. I took out the relay from under the hood in the fuse box and the high beams and low beams didn't work. It was a wet and rainy day so maybe I hit a puddle and got something wet? 2001 Mazda Protege Read More...

Take it to a local auto parts store and have them hook a scanner to it to retrieve the fault code number that's causing the engine light to come on. They will do this for free. Post the information here, or on one of the many Mazda Protege online forums. There are many enthusiasts for this car who are willing to help. Read More...

My temperature guage slowly moves up.

Written by: wearbear on Dec 14, 2008 08:27 AM

My temperature gauge moves up to slowly when i start driving. It will only go up quarter of the way, where as normally it stays between the cold and hot. I am guessing it is my thermostat. If it is could i replace it myself. I have a 2001 mazda protege 1.6 litre manual transmission. Also before replacing it where can i find it? Read More...
