I've had my 8 since July of 04 and this is probably the 4th time the damn thing has broken. I'm not being rough on it, it's just crappy quality IMO. Does anybody have a car they're parting out that has the control ****?

Thanks,

RM

 

I bought a temp control **** from mazmart or one of the other forums (I don't remember) for like 35 bucks. Still steep for a plastic ****, but better than the dealer price.

 

After 4 years of my rough hands my volume control for my ac (****) broke!!!!!
I need to get me one of those!! Sooo mazmart would have them?

 

how much they want for it at the dealer??? just bein curious

 

Another local broke his and picked his up from the dealer for $50. (and he had to go pick it up!) I could be mistaken though.

I'm 90% sure I ordered mine through mazmart. Just go post in the vendor forum and see what you get. I know mine was new in OEM mazda packaging also.

 

Yeah, I've had both ***** replaced at the stealership and they charged me $55 each. No luck finding them on mazmart's site, but I'll see what I can find in the vendor forum. Thanks for the tip.

 

Just post in their forum and they'll PM you.

 

there are 3 solder points on the control board itself. there is an easy fix on the forum if you search.

unless you're talking about just the plastic ****

 

this isnt the problem hes having. pay attention :P

 

I bought one not too long ago from trussville mazda, a discount parts dealer. I think it was around $40 including shipping. The temp control ***** that came with the 04's were very wimpy. The newer version has much thicker plastic behind it so it should hold up much better.
