What is your question?
Drive fine yesterday. Turn key, lights are bright, no cranking.
How long has your 2004 Mazda RX-8 had this problem?
Just happened

Hello, Start with checking battery charge, fuses and the starter relay. Are you getting any noises when you try to start?
Just the normal beeps when you put let's in. Had a dead battery couple of days ago, jump started it. Has ran fine since then. Today it won't crank or start.
Ok, Charge the battery and test it. If it is good, disconnect the negative cable, and measure the amperage draw between the battery and negative cable. I think you have a parasitic draw issue where something is staying on where it should not.
Had battery tested, its good. No loose wires. Tried to jump start, wouldn't catch. Gonna check fuses? Any more suggestions?
Parasitic draw test, charge the battery, check fuses. You could also connect a code reader to see if it will communicate with the PCM.
Problem fixed. It was a accessory fuse under good causing it Not to start. Now to figure out what keeps blowing that fuse.
Great find! What fuse number is it, or what is it labeled?
#8 acc. fuse under good. Problem is, it keeps blowing. Car won't start again
Ok, I'll look at the schematic to see where to test tomorrow.
