well hurry your *** up!

buy the way anyone does the diy foglight rewire (the one that lets your fogs come on with your parking lights)?

It looks pretty straight forward, just seeing if anyone had any feedback

well i knew i needed a new engine, well atleast i knew that before the summer was over i would need one..... well thanks to the flood waters from last weekend and me driving into a water covered road, i will be getting my engine now and basically will be paying for it (my ins)

I have discussed with different ins agents and techs, basically due to the neglect on my part there is no way that Mazda would approve a new engine under warranty. But since mazda is doing the replacement, my 8yr 100k mile warranty will still be entacted after the install.

good news is that i will get all new under skirt protectors, new head lights and new interior carpeting

the diy is easy can do it in about five minutes all you need is cutters and a quick tap... rewires the + input for the fog relay to the + input for the AC relay so that the fogs work as long as the ign is on....

I dont think I want to do the wire for "daytime running lights". I only want to be able to have Fogs and parking without the headlights.

I will most certainly be reading the DIY before I start.

it makes the foglight switch functional independent of the headlights so you can turn them off/on anytime with the ign on...

What's up fellas. Quick question. Has anyone gotton a P0610 vehicle operations control module code before? The car sat for a long time while I was deployed, wife didn't start it has often as I would have liked A new battery was put in before I got home by my brother-in-law, and when I got home it ran fine, but now I have this code. Took it too the dealer and they said because it sat to just drive it for about 30 mi nutes and it will be fine. Driven it for about a week in the city and it's still on. Should I try the memory reset trick. I searched and seems most guys with this code just live with it, any ideas? Car is running fine, and had a borla cat-back put on. Thanks
