Mazda MX-5 Miata push to stop button blinking green light with no start or power issues on Mazda MX-5 Miata

Problem overview

Some Mazda MX-5 Miata owners report experiencing issues indicated by a blinking green light on the push to start button, which may suggest a malfunction with the push button start function. Additionally, if the green indicator light fails to illuminate, owners are advised to restart the operation. In instances where the amber push button start indicator light flashes, it is recommended to have the vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda Repairer due to potential malfunctions. Furthermore, if the engine is force-started and the KEY warning light remains red while the amber light continues to flash, this could indicate a starting system issue. Owners are also encouraged to consult the owner's manual for troubleshooting tips, such as jiggling the steering wheel if the key won't turn or the ignition switch feels stuck. Prompt attention to these signs is important to ensure the vehicle's starting system functions properly.
