Ok so I started my b2600 today it kicked over
And ran for 5seconds(never done this before )
So started it again and ran fine drove down the road
Slowed down for a corner and car just died
( didn't stall)
Clutched it back over cause I was still rolling and ran
For another 3kmh
Then car cut over again and this time tried to clutch again but nothing tried the key and nothing.
All lights still work but no radio no reds, no start
At all no sounds NEED HELP ASAP!

Checked all fuses and battery contact and they all fine.

Your ignition switch might be toast. Real common problem with these trucks.

I'm agreeing with SinCity on this one, the electrical part of the ignition switch, classic symptoms. The clue is bolded above, same as what happened with mine: no voltage to the warning lights (what he calls the Reds), no radio (OK, no cassette player in mine). The circuit for the starter is independent of this, and there are other run circuits, just the one needed here is bad.

Intermittent (bad) electrical part of the ignition switch. Typical symptoms: sometimes fine.

Well, you didn't state what year your B2600 is. So go to Rockauto.com, look up Mazda, your model and year, then go to Electrical-Switch & Relay then to Starter Switch and use the 5% Discount Code: B35703D9F297, Expires: 12/11/2013.

Or go through local parts store, even O'Reillys or AutoZone OR NAPA or CarQuest...like this listing for 1988 at O'Reillys
