My kids Lego fell in the center knob crack. Needed to remove and disassemble it to fix it. Thanks for the video. A bit shaky, but it showed us how to do it.

Gotta get some gloves Al! 🧤 😊

Man ! there is a 1000 other ways to fix this ! Simple example : th-cam.com/video/1gmT-fUSyg8/w-d-xo.html

thank you! this has helped me get my heat back. Have you found a permanent fix for this issue. I can fix it but it keeps breaking

Just saved me from a miserable ride home in the heat.

Very nice video!

I actually thought the actuator broke so I bought a new one... after watching this video, IT IS FIXED! Thank you for sharing how the mechanism really works. Other videos didn't. You Da Man, Bruh!

Get a better camera

Good fix, but when i move it back to AC it popped out again. 🫤

Let's see your eyes

This is really helpful, thank you!

I just had the same problem. you saved me a ton of stress. Thank you!

Still helping people out cause I just used this video!

Good video, except I was confused by your use of the term "Loctite." To at least us older folks, Loctite is a thread sealant that helps screws to stay in. What you're using is of course a superglue type product.

@alsauto2917 - the problem I am having, and this came out of nowhere - is that the control knob doesn't respond to pressing straight (to select something on the screen) and doesn't respond to the upwards press (for example, to move into the different settings). Do you think this can be fixed or will require a new control set? Or could it be a software thing?

Probably best not to use high speed fan and change the temp or air direction at the same time. The hvac actuator doors are cheaply made. Avoid problems, change to lower speed fan then adjust direction/temp and raise the speed again.

how does the mazda 3 take its coffee? Seems to be allot of liquid damage.

Thank you for your help 😊

Thanks for showing how to access the light. I already had one bandaid from trying to go in through the top!

1:05 😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks for putting this together, very helpful ❤

I have exact same issue. Over time it will get worse and worse and this fix will not work as it will pop out every time. At around 11'clock mark on the dial mine now pops out every single time.

Is it normal the color black on oil pan?

Be careful not to jack into oil pan, ramps work better

Loved this video! Do you have to jack the car to drain the oil? I'm scared I'll do it wrong and it will land on my head 😅

Dude! Thank you!! The dealer quoted me $300.00 to replace this stupid light bulb. I was mentally preparing myself to remove the bumper and do it myself, until I found your video. Worked perfectly! Taking it out was a snap, although I will say that putting it back and getting it to lock into position was somewhat of a pain in the ass. Overall the whole process took me about 20 mins. Thanks again for putting this out. Super helpful!! Screw the Mazda Dealer and their $300.00!!

Mine was fine until I brought it in for a recall and it’s been falling down since. I told them the same and they wanna charge me $750 to repair it

It’s called a spill mat. The black ones are for coolant, the white ones are for oils.

So engine has to be cold to check on transmission fluid?

Same method for the 2016?? Not sure what year the headlights changed

I guess it would've been too much to see what the final product looked like.

Thanks dude

Same problem on my 2016 Mazda3. Thanks for the fix!

Amazing video. Very informative as well and detailed!

Dude helpful , make sure you watch to end so you know what not to do. I fixed mine using existing screws of tray to create supports with couple of sturdy straps. Also the first two clips he removed you don’t have to touch.

Thank you so much!

What is that actual part called

Helped a lot, thanks Al !

Yep, had the same problem on my 2016 Mazda 3. And the fix was exactly as shown in this video. These parts seem loose and pretty sure it will pop out again, hope they have a better long term fix. In any case, much appreciate Al's video on how to temp get around the issue!!!

You’re the best, I needed this so much! thank you!!

Thanks bro! I pay a lot money and never repaired my hot air! Thank you so much

i just did mine recently, dont use glue, use the strongest tape you can find. Cut thin strips, cut with razor, and apply them all around. Only use very little glue where you think is best.

I am having this exact same issue in my 2015 Mazda three. The mechanic has fixed it for me twice, but it keeps popping back out. My mechanic doesn’t understand why it’s happening either

Thanks so much. My son’s 2014 Mazda 3 was blowing lukewarm heat and this was exactly the issue!! 👍🏼

Thanks again, the top piece was completely out of my daughters car

I need to see the spring how it s hook up

Great video thank you

Everything went super easy except clicking the tabs back in at the front of the black plastic cover thwt holds the audio control and parking brake. That’s the part in the video where he fast forwards starting at 11:30. He just pushes down with the heel of his hands to click the panel in, easy peasy, but nothing I tried works. Now I have 1/4 inch gap between the front and rear plastic console covers… ugly but not dangerous.

Why u check battery when u do oil change?

Thank you for this video.
