Just bought a new Mazda 3. How does one access the cabin air filter. I asked the service rep and he was kinda evasive, like this was a job for the service department. I'm sure there is a simpler and cheaper way.

Thanks in advance.

Search the forum, this has been brought up before.
It is kinda a PITA but doable.

 

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the PJB and PJB bracket.
3. Remove the side wall.
4. Disconnect the evaporator temperature sensor connector (L.H.D.).
5. Disconnect the power MOS FET connector. (L.H.D. Full-auto air conditioner)
6. Remove in the order indicated in the table.
L.H.D.

 

Thanks for the info Tracker; but since the Mazda design team made it such a nuisance to change such a simple item, I'll let the dealer service department get their profit.

By-the-way...my thanks to the Toyota Tundra design team for making this procedure a simple pull out and reinstall exercise. And...explained it the owners manual.
