Security Indicator Light /wont start
We have a 2004 RX8 6MT. The battery was replaced and now the Security Indicator Light is on and the engine will not turn over. The book says to consult the dealer....any other suggestions? Ive tried pulling the battery cord to reset and also checked all fuses. Im at a loss.....:Wconfused
|
Same case....just happened today when i was planning to smth else! it ruined my day!
the security red light keep flashing when i turn the key to "on" and wont let me start my 8... 04 AT....dont think it's realted to the battery =[ |
could be the fob battery. Or, you may need to reprogram.
|
planning to tow my car to mazda....but sure its ganna cost a few hundred :wallbash:
|
before you do that, have you tried searching here? What about my previous post?
|
Try to disconnect the battery again from the positive terminal then press the brake pedal for a few seconds to drain the remaining power. Wait a few minutes before you reconnect. BTW, how many keys do you (jasont1998, andyn8s) have?
|
i got 3 keys.....tried all no luck =[
|
Oh hell, you may need to have the dealer reprogram all the keys. Try the battery disconnect as I suggested, though.

I had this problem and it was because I had a dead/bad battery. I have an Optima red top that was 5 months old. if the battery doesnt have enough juice to power the electronics it will shut it down. In my case I got the battery replaced and installed it and everything was fine. Nothing had to be reprogrammed it was just like it was before.

there is a chance that u overheated the wiring and melted something, Mazda should mention this in the manual, after 2-3 times of just cranking, the wires get ultra hot and sometimes I can see smoke coming out of the terminals, and as our car ages, the wiring gets more brittle so I am not surprised if something melts.
but anyway, have a dealership or someone who knows car very well to check it for u. |
I hope not i really dont want to take to the dealer. Thank you

My Car start today but is no working properitly And the check engine light is blinking can be a bad coil?

Flaco,
A flashing CEL is ALWAYS a misfire. However there are several different things that can cause a misfire. Go here:https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tec...t-here-222280/ This thread should be able to help you narrow your issue down. Travis |
i just had this problem or alittle different:
the security light flashes with a couple beeps and my engine wont turn over not even a sound ...i try to use my scanner and check for any codes, it wont read anything not even the vin number ...i called someone to reprogram my key to see if that helps, he could not even reprogram it...we checked the fuses they were good he said it might be the "PCM" ........anybody have any ideas on what might be the problem? |

It's a sequence of the key light flashing that may help you pinpoint it. Good luck! |
i will try to search for a solution with troubleshooting and see what i come across...if any luck something might
