I have two keys, each on a ring with a remote. (I.e. I have two rings, with two physical objects hanging off each one - one key and one remote.)

The keys work the same as they ever did - I can physically insert them into the door to let myself in, and I can physically insert them into the ignition to start the car. Nothing appears to have changed.

However, the remotes both stopped working after the swap of the glove-compartment fuse box. The remote reprogramming procedure described above did not work for either one of the remotes.

My current plan is to swap in yet another (second replacement) fuse box, also from eBay, and then try the remote reprogramming procedure again, but I'm open to all suggestions.

 

well that's lame. I'm assuming you've tried the programming multiple times, yes? I had to go through it a few times to get the timing right when I added my flip key.

I see the confusion, you have a flip key whereas the OP has separate keys and remotes. Even though the flip key is one overall piece it's actually made up of two modules: the flip key, and the remote. So it's two different and unrelated systems housed together.

For key programming you need two working keys. For remote programming you need one working key.

OP, since you're having issues with the cigarette lighter as well I'll renew my suggestion that you unplug each large plug on the PJB and then make sure it's fully reseated before pushing down on the locking arm. At the very least try this out before going through the hassle of buying another PJB. If you just stick the plug in and expect the lock arm to push everything together you'll likely get a poor connection somewhere.

 

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I'm having the same issue.

OP, how did you fix your problem? Did you get a new PJB or did you have to get it reprogrammed?

 

Took it to the dealership. After a lot of research and experimentation, they told me that I had the wrong part - I needed a PJB whose part number included "BAN6" or "BN8D," and the replacement eBay part I'm currently using does not have those digits, even though it appears to work in every other way.

So I bought another PJB off eBay, this time checking the part number carefully. I just received it - will install next week.

Takeaway: Mazda produces many parts that are visually and functionally similar - but not identical. So be sure you have the right part for your car. (Perhaps you can call the dealer to get the part number.)

 

I enquired at work and found out the exact same thing, the plugs are all the same but the internals and programming can be different to meet different spec levels and options all around the world.
