Once more, that little HF inspection camera has proved it's worth...
When I tried to turn the heat on in my car a few days ago, the heater temperature couldn't be controlled. In fact, all I got was cold outside air.
Googling online I found a couple of checks to determine the reason...turns out it was a loose soldered connection on the temperature control card...found it by using a programmed troubleshooting check I found the instructions for online. Not mentioned in any Mazda literature...including the shop manual! Hold in the radio "On" button, and push the radio "Scan Up" button at the same time! It then displays the temperature control setting in the radio display! Rotating the control showed no change from 0. But I digress...
Had to remove the radio to get to that card, and in the process, lost the radio's side mounting bolt down behind the dashboard, and behind the center console and inside the edge of it's carpet. Where I could not get my head to see it, let alone my hand to retrieve it...
After this weeks discussion, I immediately thought of the HF inspection camera. It located the bolt within seconds, and then mounting the magnet probe on the camera retrieved it as well!
Re-soldered the loose connections on the card (all three of them on the temperature control potentiometer) and now the RX8 is toasty warm again! Oh, and the programmed check displays 0 to 16 as I rotate the control!
