20 Most Recent 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata Touring Convertible Questions & Answers

I don't have a good solution to this problem, but the solution published by mybunkey is incorrect. The problem has nothing to do with the air conditioning. The MX-5 has a couple of small pans located behind the seats under the area where the top folds. These pans catch water that runs off the roof and leaks into the passenger compartment where the roof joins the car. From these pans there is a hose that allows the water to drain through openings in the rear tire-wells. Unfortunately, not only water finds its way into the drains, but so do leaves, twigs, bugs and who know what else. Eventually the drains get clogged and the pan overflows right into the floorboard. It only took 6 months for this to happen to my 2007 in Houston. The dealer cleaned out the drains and replace the carpet, but his only suggestion for prevention was to not park outside! The REAL problem, however, is the drains are completely inaccessible - there is no good way to get to them to unclog them! An internet search will find several ideas about what and how to snake a piece of wire or something into the drains, but I’ve been completely unsuccessful. It’s raining her today, my floors are wet and my care smells moldy. This is my 3rd convertible and it’s the only one to have this has happened. It’s an inexcusable design flaw and frankly it’s enough to make me think of getting rid of the car.

To set: With ignition in ACC or ON position, press up on switch (clock) until beeper sounds and time flashes; press up on switch (seek) to set hour, press down on switch (APC) to set minutes, press up on switch (clock) to start clock.

Get a new key fob and program it using the currently working ones...you will need to have two working sets to program a new one....this will let you know if the boys are worn out...I'd program a third set anyways...just Google how to...for your vehicle.

You might see if there is a camber caster shim pack that can be added.

when you tried to start it did it make any sound at all....if there was nothing at all then I would suspect a bad connection of the battery ground cable. If your dash lit up and possibly made a clicking sound then I would suspect a stuck starter..

What kind of light you see,coolant,oil,power steering,A/C could be water.

Check under the car to make sure all rubber drain plugs are in place.
( When I had a leak in my 98 Lincoln both sides of the floor panels were wet here the leak was from the moon roof drain tubes.) Look below thats how I found my problem.

Easiest way to find the leak I know it sounds strange but it works. Take a water hose and have someone spray the car down while your sitting inside and look for the leak. Thats how I found the leak in my car. It might take a few times but it works.
