WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda Tribute. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The climate control assembly has three system controls:
- The A/C heater function selector switch combines a vacuum selector valve with two electrical switches to supply battery positive voltage (B+) to the A/C clutch circuit and the blower motor control circuit.
- The temperature selection is accomplished through cable-controlled positioning of the temperature blend door located in the heater core housing.
- The blower motor switch controls the blower motor speed by adding or bypassing resistors in the heater blower motor switch resistor.
