Replacing the Climate Control Bulb

Model: Mazda Cx 7 MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: A/C controls

If the climate control buttons on the console do not light up when the lights are turned on, the backlight bulb has blown: to replace it, you need to remove the controls. Start by detaching the trim around the central console, which will come off along with the air vents; then unscrew the fixing screws of the radio and pull it out from its housing by disconnecting the relevant plugs; next, remove the climate control buttons by disconnecting the power plugs and the cable; at this point, extract the bulb holder and replace all the bulbs; proceed in reverse for reassembly.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
