Caution! The models described in this manual are equipped with air bags. When working in the airbag area, always turn them off (see chapter 12) to avoid accidental activation, which could result in injury.
Removal and installation
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Caution: If your vehicle's audio system is equipped with an anti-theft device, make sure you have the unlock code before disconnecting the battery.
2. On the Probe model, remove the center console (see chapter 11). Remove the side trim panel under the front panel on the passenger side (see chapter 11).
3. Remove the trim from the central part of the front panel (see chapter 11).
4. Remove the screws securing the control panel (figure 12.4).

Adjusting the cable (probe models)
7. To adjust the temperature control cable, set the control on the remote control to the highest temperature position. Beneath the dash, peel back the carpet to access the throttle control lever on the other end of the cable (figure 12.7). Release the cable clamp, lower the lever to the down position and tighten the clamp.
Checking electrical circuits (mazda models)
8. On Mazda models, the control panel has three connectors on the back: 10-pin, 14-pin and 6-pin. The 6-pin connector is for the fan speed switch (mentioned in paragraph 10). To check, you don't need to disconnect the connectors: use suitable probes to touch the contacts on the back of the connector. The voltage at the contacts must correspond to that indicated in the table in the figure 12.8,a,6.
