My Mazda 6 Sportwagon is an '05 and I have only had the car for about a year. Love this car, but the last month we have had problems getting it to start in the mornings or after it has been sitting for a long period of time like over night. When we turn the ignition on you just hear a clicking sound. Most often than not it will start up after 3 or 4 tries. Originally we thought it was the battery dieing and got it jumped a few times and it starts up no problem. We tested the battery and it seems OK. Now I don't have to do that but if the car is being stubborn and won't start after many tries we get it jumped and it starts right away. Not sure what is causing the problem but here are some thoughts: 1) Battery connectors have corrosion. 2) Battery too weak to hold a charge. 3) Solenoid in starter.
Anyone had any similar problems to this or any help thoughts or suggestions to help us figure out what needs to be fixed? It's under an extended warranty but I have an extremely tight budget right now and even the deductible is hard to pay. Thanks!
