This probably is a stupid suggestion, but back in the stoney old days of the 1980s or so, windshield nozzles were adjustable by putting a pin into the sprayer outlet and pointing the nozzle where you wanted it to go. Can't hurt to try.

And Mazda warranties your engine for 8 yrs/100k miles. The flash is for your engine management so even if this was just a TSB you would be able to get it done barring a warranty void due to excessive engine modifications.

I'm hoping some one can help me with a problem I have with a 04 RX8. When it rains the flasher come on. Can't shut them off without driving the car for 15 minute or more. Any help you can give would be great full.

Hi there Timeandhalf.
This is a real noodler, and I can't say that I have any idea than to look at the relays for this where they might be exposed to rain water.
However, if you want a real answer, then you would do much better to post this question under its own heading in the Tech Section of the forum. Someone there might be able to help you better. In this thread, the question is pretty buried. Just a suggestion and best of luck.

this might be a dumb question, but i havent takent my 04 in for the MSP16 flash yet (got all previous ones). My car runs fine (knock on wood) and havent had any problems with it. Should I still get this one done? Premixing seems to be working for me.. or should i just get the MSP16 and continue to premix?

Here is another rewrite on a "TSB" the "Water in the rear combo light". What do you think?

I had one replaced a couple years ago and now have moisture in the other. I would think a new/better gasket would seal it.

I have printed it out to go buy the parts and do it myself since I am no longer under warranty. I had one lamp replaced a couple of years ago, and it is just starting to get moisture in it again. Looks to be a great update.
Thanks for bringing to our attention!!!! I really appreciate the info.
