Unhappy OVERHEATING????? HELP!!!!!!! Door Clickers, Cant make them work???

Hi all, I just started to enjoy my "just repaired" 8 AT, it is a niceeee car, but......
It is getting overheated?

I already check my Fans, I think are the fans, but, any other suggestion?

Also, I purchase on Ebay 2 door clickers, non of them are working, I cannot program them, even I have Mazda's program procedure and the guy who sold me these clickers.

ANy suggestion on how to program these babies,? I already changed the batts, . Nothing..
Could the Cars Module be out of service? Anyone can tell me where is this located?
This car was stowed for almost 2 years in a wharehouse so I am thinking, maybe mildew, moho, hummidity, etc could have damaged it?
tks

Check your radiator fluid.

Searchh for the reprogram of the keys.

I believe it is in DIY section.

You will need 2 set of working keys before you can program your own key. That working key does NOT include your Valet key.

If you have only 1 working key (the flip blade or card), then you have no choice but to let Mazda program it.

Overheated ? How do u know? the gauge on ur dash tells ya ?

if it is, check both fans first, Its easy, just idle ur car till fan kicks on, when its on, go back to ur car and rev it to around 2.5K for maybe 5 minutes. Then your fan should go into high speed mode. which will sound different(much louder that is). check that.

If the fans are fine, next should be ur coolant. drain it and replace it with new one, Im not gonna bother to tell ya how to drain it from the block, just drain the radiator part should be fine. make sure u know how to bleed all the air in the system tho.

oh yes forgot, check to see if your radiator Cap and coolant overflow bottle is working. Cuz my coolant bottle's opening broke and cant hold the cap securely. results in no pressure. not good. check that.

sounds stupid but, make sure nowhere has leaks.
