This video was very helpful I just took out my air filters at 154,873miles and they had pine needles and all sorts of crap!

Wow! Sounds like it was definitely time for a replacement!
@johnalbertson79 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the info. I just took out my original filters from 15 years ago and they were trashed. I gained at least 50% more air flow in my a/c once they were removed.

Yeah this is a poor design but most newer Mazdas have a better installation process.

Shouldn’t have tried this myself, made it to unplugging the fuse box but somehow shorted the turn signal, now I need to pay someone else for the air filter AND the turn signal 😂

We are so sorry to hear this happened! This is definitely a much more delicate installation process compared to your standard cabin filter change.

Can i just unscrew the whit plastic housing where the filters are located instead of having to take the fuse box thing off etc? I can reach the white filtwr housing whiteout. I have a 2008 mazda 3
@dand7693 жыл бұрын
Looks like you would atleast need to remove the bracket that holds the fuse box, as it gets in the way when removing the white plastic. Looks like it would make it difficult to remove and replace the filter with the box still attached.

It would be best to follow the videos process. Mazda could of done a better job with this installation process.

Yes, you can do this before changing out your filter.

@peterjohnson94383 жыл бұрын
@@randywong4491 I wouldn't go disconnecting the cabin side fuse box without disconnecting the battery first. Mazdas are rather touchy about their electricals, and there's at least one systemic problem with the instrument cluster power wiring that causes it to short out if, for example, the cigarette tray light is disconnected. I wouldn't risk it - disconnect the battery. Your engine has some serious issues if it's not "running properly" before the ECU compensates; might wanna get a scan tool and check if there's some excessive timing adjustment or fuel trim going on. My guess is your spark plugs are worn out.

You can search for how to uninstall a battery and there should be a video showing the proper way to unhook a battery.

Unfortunately, they will typically charge a costly amount. But this is one of the few cases where some may consider that to be worth the money to avoid the hassle. We are just here to show you how to do it yourself, if you feel so inclined.
