check fuses

A simple check of your fuse box- might help. Have you checked no. 33 ?

Search on flooded - there are lots of threads. There is a flooding procedure in the manual and a lot of advice on the boards.

Stupid thing, but if it is buried in snow, maybe the tailpipes are buried? That would restrict the engines ability to breath and keep it from starting. Could be a million of things. Best of luck to you.

Probably flooded. If it won't start and you didn't tinker with it, don't hesitate to call the support center.

ok so i figured out my problem. my friend was on my computer
no but the other problem, some water was in my engine pipe or wutever and it was frozen. the guy from mazda roadside assistance helped me out but in a crappy way. he told me to turn the key starting position and hold it there for like 10 minutes. after 10 minutes of starting and pumping the gas it finally started. was wut i did bad for the car?

Don't think so, some hard driving should help. If your going in for service soon you should ask them to check the spark plugs.
