- IfYour 2014 Mazda 6 has an issue with the navigation/radio not shutting off when you put it into park and shut the car off then you’ll need to watch this video to figure out how to either replace the parking switch or fix it like I did. In the process if your shifter indicator bulb is out I’ll show you how to replace that as well
Thanks for watching!!
I've been looking for a solution to this issue for years, finally it's bad enough that I'm getting a new vehicle, but for $20 and a bit of time I'll fix this so I can take my time car shopping. Thanks!
Thank you! I was quoted $700 for this job last week, by a mechanic I’d *thought* I could trust!
Glad I could help
Thanks also for making this video. My Mazda 6 had the same issue. I discovered that the switch also has a plastic snap that also holds it on (in addition to the two screws). I also had to adjust the shifter cable so I removed the four bolts that holds the whole shifter assembly to the console. Doing so also allowed the switch to be removed with a regular screw driver so I don't know why anyone would have to remove the whole console.
Awesome!!!!! Thank you very much. My son bought a 2014 Mazda 6 grand touring and it had this problem. I was able to get the part on Amazon for 8$ and change it out in less than 2hrs.
Glad it helped
Thanks!
Thanks for the support man. Really appreciate it. Hopefully the video saved you some money.✌️
I like your video. I have Mazda 6 2014. Whenever I park. The car won’t shut off and keeps beep beep, beep beep nonstop . And I can not lock the car. Tried the slamming the stick to park method. Seems to fix the problem. I’ve been researching and come across your video. Gonna replace the park switch and let you know if it worked
Hope it worked ?
@@mwzow_it sure did. Thanks to this video
What is the shifter switch part number?
Been living with the issue for over a year now and would love to get it fixed but I can't seem to find the 2016 part number..
2014 Mazda 6 the old switch won't come out, it's too wide with the square shaft that inserts into shift assembly. Remove back console section, then loosen front console piece and pull to widen gap between console left front panel and shifting assembly. Also, on bottom of old switch, you have to remove an electrical connection. Your other video on how to first manage console is recommended!
What is the proper name for the park switch sensor? Called dealership and advanced auto to see if they had the part and they couldn’t find anything. I wasn’t sure what to call it though.
Can I get any LED T5 for the gear shift lights? Or does it need to be anything specific? Also, can this be done for the lights on the switches on the doors? Like for the power windows etc. Great video and very informative.
Yes I replaced my gearshift light with an LED T5 light not sure about the switches on the doors, but I would imagine they would be the same Thanks! :)
@@joerut7585 Awesome, thank you! Again, very informative and I definitely wouldn't be able to do this without your video!

Thanks Dave comments like that are the reason why I continue to make videos thanks for your support
What's the led light's exact part number?
in minute 10:34. I think i need to replace that piece. please let me know if its available online
How long do you think it should take a mechanic to swap out the shifter switch? I ordered the part from Amazon and am looking for a reasonable price rather than taking it to the dealer who wants $250. Thank you.
can you post the part.need to buy as well
What is the part you bought
I have the same problem but in manual version. Where it was be a problem?
Not sure about manual it wouldn’t be the same repair. Sorry.
Thanks for making the vid. Masda would probably charge an arm and a leg. They should fix it anyway bad design.
Things wear out and this gets an awful lot of use. I wouldn't say it was bad design in particular.
The dealership quoted me $250.
Did anyone have a problem getting the old shifter switch part out? Mine is stuck. Should it be in Neutral instead of Park?
ive changet it and the problem still persists.. can you help please
did you change the switch or replace it ?
@@joerut7585 Hi, thank you for the reply.. So the new part was not ok, so i bought another one that worked.. my problem were the new part that was broken 🦥
I just bought a Mazda MX-5 and the lights around the shifting area don't work =\
Dear lord, have someone record for you or use a tripod. We can't see shit when your phone is constantly moving and you're using one hand to try to do the work.
