Although there is a link to the seller, you should email your local dealer's parts department to find out what part number your VIN requires. After sending my VIN to this seller, a dealership, they informed me that the part would not fit my 2014 CX5. Regardless, I placed an order for it, and it was a perfect fit.
NO, IT ONLY WORKS FOR THE YEARS 2013 AND 2014.

When we put our Mazda 6 in park and turned off the engine, the ignition would not completely turn off. When you opened the door, the car continued to beep and the displays did not turn off. The battery would drain and the car would not start after a few hours if left in this condition; the solution was to re-start the car. Start the car and SLAM the shifter into park (automatic transmission). This will activate the park position sensor, allowing the car to be shut down normally. We had to get a jump start every time we valet parked because Mazda installed defective "park sensor" switches that quickly wore out. This is a more durable replacement for the first-generation sensor switch (for which Mazda will not be held liable). Mazda, you are a disgrace to the automobile industry. br>Anyway, this part is fantastic, and we haven't had any issues with it since we installed it. There are a couple of videos on YouTube that can assist you with the installation. It took me about 45 minutes to remove and reinstall the trim. the installation.
This was purchased for a Mazda CX-5 that was manufactured in 2014. Because my car's VIN wasn't in the range, the seller (dealership) told me it wouldn't work on it. It worked for me, and I believe it will work on any 2014 model as well. If you didn't know, the soft rubber knob that activates and deactivates the parking sensor is the component that fails on these. The knobs on the replacements are made of hard plastic. When I took out my old one, I discovered a piece of soft rubber near the module.
There are numerous videos on YouTube that demonstrate how to replace this component. Replacing it is simple. I'll add that when removing the two screws, be very careful because if they fall out, getting them back can be difficult. After putting it in park, the car now shuts down automatically, and I don't have to fiddle with the shifter.
My 2014 Cx5 GT began to have problems. The engine would not turn off when parked and the engine off button was pressed. It eventually shut off after a little jiggling of the shifter. I went to the forums to look for a solution to this common problem caused by the sensor's original rubber tip wearing out. The rubber tip on the new sensor isn't the same as the old one (guess Mazda figured it out). The console was moved by four screws (slid back, not removed), and the sensor was replaced by two screws, and everything was as good as new. It took me about 30 minutes to complete the entire process.
The plastic wear end appears to be much stronger than the rubber tip on the old part, so it should work much better. Mine went out around 113k miles, but it was intermittent, and I got tired of dealing with it. br>br>Easy to install now that I've done it before, I'm sure I could do it in 15 minutes. The small cable connectors are the most difficult aspect of the job. If you use a small flat blade screwdriver, it will help to agitate them. br>br>Watch some YouTube videos and you'll see that there's no reason to pay the stealerships' prices.
This is something I bought because it's a well-known brand. Because it is a well-known fact that this part fails in the make and model of car I own, rather than waiting for a recall or paying a dealer hundreds of dollars to replace it, I decided to get the part and install it myself, since I am reasonably handy around the house/car. It took me about an hour to complete the process, and it was fairly simple once I had the instructions. Overall, I expect this part to last the duration of my vehicle's life.
It resolved the issue with the accessories failing to turn off. It took about an hour to replace everything. Disconnecting the electrical connectors was the most difficult part for me. They can be disconnected if you squeeze in the right spot, but this isn't always obvious.
I had this annoying problem with Mazdas where the engine would shut off but the radio and accessories would not, and I had to either turn it on and off or slam the shifter into Park and it would fix itself after a few times, it was really annoying and one time my car didn't shut off at all and I had to leave it with the accessories on for a couple of hours. That's when I found this part after some research, I'm a Ford Technician so I knew what to look for. It's a genuine Mazda part, and it fixed my problem; now everything shuts down when I put my car in Park and turn it off. After months of battling the shifter, it was incredibly satisfying.
