The battery and airbag are the only things working on the panel and they stay on. I had the battery and the alternator tested. They said was the alternator. Took it the mechanic under warranty. He changed it and it did not fix the problem. He told me that it could be anything and take hours to track down. I said no thanks and drove home. Oh yeah, The windshield wipers won't turn off. The headlights and tail light work. Ideas?

Whoever diagnosed that as a bad alternator is an idiot. You shouldn't have been charged for that incorrect diagnosis and repair. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. mg9294 New User Nov 11, 2020, 6:14 AM Post #3 of 4 (1401 views) Re: 2005 Mazda Tribute v6 3.0 The instrument panel dead Sign In Thanks, Driving home yesterday the panel would work every time i came to a stop in drive (stop light or stop sign) as soon as I eccelerated it would shut off. Also sometimes as it would shift down or up from overdrive to regular it would run bad.
