the cabin are normal, inspect the fuse

must be replaced. Follow these steps:

other switches.

WARNING
Do not replace the main fuse by
yourself. Have an Authorized Mazda

replacement could cause an electrical
shock or a short circuit resulting in a
fire.
NOTE
Verify that the engine cover is securely
installed.
