Quick and easy with this video. My notes from doing this: A) It can be done without removing the console surround, but you will need a stubby Phillips screw ratchet and need some Pick Tools to release the switch assembly after the two screws are out. B) Once the switch is out, it can be rotated up and forward so the plug is easier to access and pull out. C) Note: The Metal bracket is the support for the rubber-coated tray.
Thank you for saving this 69 year old lady some money. Followed your tutorial and voila! Ordered my part from Amazon for $29.00, using your helpful part number.
Thank you for sharing. I used your video and repaired the old switch with super glue and baking soda. It cost me about $0.50 in materials, and about an hour of my time.
@@mb3775 If you mix superglue and baking soda it cures very quickly and very hard, so you can apply the superglue in a thick layer in the worn groove. Standard superglue won't cure if it is too thick. Once it has dried (only takes minutes) you can sand it down to the original shape.
The cause of the whole problem is not a damaged module, but a worn piece of rubber on the button, which you can even see in the video. It is enough to glue it with a hard glue to make it work properly again.
@@knexfan100 you can pause the movie in time 3:14 and see this black button, it has a rubber cap, just cover it with hard epoxy resin glue. I also had such a problem and a few weeks ago I fixed this way by hardening the rubber with glue. And I have no problem with the radio when turning off the car.
Before everybody goes out and starts spending $70.00 and time doing this repair.... try slowing down your shifting motion into park. I did just that, and I have not had the problem again.The wearing sensor seems to pick up the action when slowed down. It may eventually give out at some point, but at least it will buy you some time for a while.
Exactly right, My wife messed around with it for almost a year until it eventually just quit working, cold weather seemed to make it worse then spring came and got better till the following winter lol
Thank you for the video. I have the same problem but in Australia Mazda doesn't sell that parts. I have to get the unit that come with the gear shift & that cost me A$1k+
Well shit damn, yea that’s no good! I guess there is positives and negatives no matter where your at on the globe! Happy this helped some one though! Thank you for watching!
I’m trying to find the part number but having a bit of trouble, also what websites do you recommend I buy the part from. I’m currently looking on rock auto
I hade the same symptom, instead of ordering a new part I removed the damaged small rubber piece and on the little plastic hook where that rubber was placed small poly/silicone tube roughly 4mm to match the original length. Also added small amount of silicone inside just so it doesn’t pop off. Try this will const you nothing considering you have a silicone poly tube
I have the same issue, but my one turn of Air-conditioning air flow, indicators stop working as well, when I push start button few time everything work okay, don't know whether replacing this part will help resolve all my issue ?
I would say the Shift Switch would not have anything to do with the air conditioning. That would be a possible loose connection somewhere maybe or a relay or fuse that is ready to blow or works when it wants too

@@peter5230my 2014 CX 5 is having this problem. Does the epoxy trick last or is it better to replace the whole switch?

Worked perfectly!!! Thank you so much.

Right on brother, did that and problem solve. Thank from TJ Mex.
No problem! I didn't expect this video to get as big as it has! But it has helped many people as you can see in the comments. Glad it helped!!!!

Great tip 👍
it worked! Thanks!
Your welcome!
thank you. i dont know if i trust myself to fix this but at I know now.
It really ain’t bad, just got to take you time and be careful, everything is stupid plastic so it can crack easy if you are not gentle
You can put car in drive while off and slip plastic cover over shift know without unscrewing knob
I have the same car and the same problem, do you have the part number for the switch? Thanks for the video!
Your welcome! I still have the old sensor part # is KDYO-46-040... just checked my amazon history and that is the part # i ordered
Thanks for the video!
Could you please share the workshop manual if you have it?
I don’t have the manual, I just winged this project.. couldn’t find much on this fix. So i figured I would do a video
