mazda 6 died after plugging gps in cigarette lighter socket
 

As above mazda 6 (52 reg) died after plugging gps in cigarette lighter socket and now wont start. I have checked all the fuses and non are blown and the ignition relay is clicking but there is no spark (had spark plug out and checked) still turns over just wont fire. Does anyone have an idea what else it could be?

cheers Paul.

Scoobynet not mazdanet:lol1:

Sorry mate , maybe have a auto electrician look at it or someone else on here might work for mazda and might be able to help

"TomTom" becomes "Kill Bill" ??

Does the cigar lighter still work? If not it may have fused something, or maybe just coincidence - bizarre

Yeah I know its scoobynet not mazdanet :lol1: just wanted to see if any of the talented people on here might have an idea what it could be before forking out for a garage or auto electrician look at it. I will see if the cigarette lighter works still, sounds like a good place to start the weird thing is all the other electrics work and no blown fuses all the other electrics work

Fuel pump relay blown?

Ok gents been back out today and had another look about. I had the battery on charge over night an now that's got a full charge tried again to start her with no such luck. I had the plugs out again and it seems there is spark but only the first instance the engine is turned over. Also had the hose off that meets the fuel rail and there is a nice flow of fuel when turned over so guessing the fuel pump relay is ok. I also checked the cigarette lighter and funny enough it is still working lol any ideas any 1?

:wonder:puzzler
all plugs spark??

if it sparks and then stops again while turning over it could be the immobiliser. the sat nav could have spiked it somehow, have u got or tried the spare key?

I read the title as "6 people die in Mazda after plugging in gps into cig lighter" LOL

Me to. :D

Glad I wasnt the only one! :luxhello:

ha ha aha sorry to diapoint

is anyone local to you that can plug a code reader in to check for any faults seen by the ecu

yeah all spark plugs fire for the first second then non i was thinking the immobilizer but no spare key or anything in the docs about manually turning it off

ok dont think it is the immobilizer as the key light goes out when the key is placed in the ignition which it says it should in the owners manual

yeah i have a code reader but no codes came up and there is no cel

Sounds like its nothing to do with you plugging the gps into cigarette socket, just a coincidence, seems like there's a bit more to it, I would ask on a Mazda forum tbh and then get a mechanic to have a look.
