I have a 2001 Mazda B2500 that I bought five years ago. When I bought it, it was not running. I replaced the fuel pump and was able to get it on the road again.
A year latter I replaced the upper control arms, and lower ball joints, shocks and tires. It has been a wonderful truck so far.
The only problem I had with it was a no start issue. You would turn the key and it would just click,the key buzzer would not buzz, and the dome light stayed off. If you jumped it, it would start, but it ran terrible.
I preformed a voltage drop test on the ground side of system. I found excessive voltage drop on ground wire to radiator support. I started it again and hooked battery cable to engine and battery ground and it ran wonderful.
I cleaned the connection to radiator support and it started and ran just fine
I noticed they have a lot of cable ends with corrosion issues, replaced battery terminals.
Thanks
John
