How To Diagnose A No Crank No Start 

After doing everything, starting the car while in Neutral worked! Thanks

My Mazda 3 06 hatchback has the same issue, when I go to turn on the car everything is on but it just won’t start and the days it do start is on rainy or cold days but if it’s really hot my car completely doesn’t wanna turn on, so I’m thinking of buying a new starter after watching this video

My mazda 3 don't want to crank its indicating the key on cluster

Thank you for this video, great content. I had the same no crank, no start problem on my 2008 Mazda5 but the solution to my case was simpler. It turns out the car cannot sense my transmission is in park and it started up right away when I put it in neutral. I went through the fuse boxes and relay testing but decided to test the park/neutral lockout first before I jack up the car to look at the starter.

I’m having this problem with my kid’s car right now. But it’s a 2007 Mazda 3 2.3L. You have very expressive hands btw 😂 thanks for the video 👍

This was by far the best video for helping with my issue.

I've been searching the internet for a problem I had with no luck...until 7:17 of this video. But alas it didn't work. Car runs fine but light blinks when key is out. Thank you so much. 😁

I enjoy these automotive whodunits! Diagnosis is fascinating. Your next challenge is to try to video the process of removing and replacing that bad starter. I've had good luck with starters, but my cousin has a Mazda 3 just like this one. Good luck to you!

Tanks, you help to solve my electrical pb on my mazda 3 1.6 in france!!!

Hey Great job in explaining all this stuff on these modern cars. Nothing like the Triumph. 👍🏻

Did that solve your problem? I would have checked the neutral safety switch, too, since the problem was intermittent.

Hey. My 07 mazda 3 HB was in the shop for 5 weeks. I was remote/off grid when my flexplate broke. (July 21st) I got my mazda back today (august 22nd) 4 hours into my drive southbound, this exact issue occurred after i pumped $50 worth of gas at a barrie onroute. I did all the diagnosing I could without tools on hand. And well… I’m stranded again. This time not so remote… I called caa and paid the $680 for 172km. (1.5hr drive) Keep reading cause’ Heres the bloody kicker and the potential trick to start your zoom zoom. the mazda dealership won’t share this “quickfix” with you btw. They will say they fixed it and charge you for a diagnoses. Now… As I watched that tow truck drive away with my $680… I cranked my ignition from OFF to RUN 3 times in rapid succession. (this “trick” or function is used to reset/clear a check engine light without an obd scanner. I learnt it from a mazda service manual 4 years ago) My experience tells me, doing this “reset” the relay or the solenoid so, it turns out the darn trick can restart a car that doesn’t crank, turn over. Yet has power. This wont work if something critical is in-fact broken or faulty. If it starts… you know your parts are actually ok (for now) and the computer had a hiccup.

Wow.. Perfect great tutorial video.. I'm having intermittent starting issues.. I went through the same checklist. We do hear click when push start button touched ( not sure why sometimes start button light some time red other green will RU-vid next) , new battery 1 month, connections good, didn't have a multi meter but fuses looked good , did healthy thing, neutral thing( but can't shift to N if off so confused)... It did start with a large AAA jump start but not with a car jump. Hmm,? Need to check battery starter fuse. And finish your tutorial lol .I just wanted to say great video so far. I appreciate it as a female

Question, why would this be happening to my mazda only after driving? When engine is cooled down it starts up completely fine

What if the starter is good ? I check my fuses and they were good . The relay I clean up a bit and replace it as well. But still no crank

So basically I think I have a bad starter but it's a little different my car catches in smoke everytime I start it and I saw that white heavy smoke can come from the starter because it is bad the car still starts but it's been getting worst and worst to start changed the thermostat no head gasket leak everything is fine and I think it's gotta be my starter

Am having a similar issue with my 2008 mazda 3 hatchback but still no crank no start. I already replaced the battery, starter, and the starter relay, i also checked for any blown fuse but they all seem to be fine. The car does have power and i also try jumping it using jumping cables but nothing happened . Do you Any other suggestions that might help ? Thanks in advance.
