Air Condition Compressor

**Posted:** Wed Aug 03, 2005 9:58 am

The compressor of my air condition is faulty and needs to be replaced. Can someone tell me from where I can find a second hand one or maybe some compressor at a reasonable price? In the country where I live there are only 10 cars like mine so it's impossible to find one here...

thanks :alien:

[color=blue]Is there any chance that other Mazda's share the same compressor? May even be other manufacturers too......[/color]

I was thinking - you may be able to replace yours with a more modern one which could be lighter yet more efficient ???

I've sent them an email requesting availability and price. Will followup on this thread.

At the moment i want to remove the fuse of the AC so noone will switch it on again until repaired. I took a glimpse at the GUIDE section and viewed 'the definite guide of fuses'. Have I understood well or there are supposed to be two fuse boxes - the main and the interior? I have only seen one and which does not correspond to the one which contains the fuse of the AC. Can someone tell me where is the INTERIOR fuse box?! :bounce:

Mine's in the driver's side footwell, inside the plastic trim by your right foot ...

OK found it. By the way, fuses are supposed to be removed by pulling them, or is there some clip which needs to be pressed? I was working in a dim light environment so i need to check it tomorrow morning, but it gave me a hard time to pull the fuse, without succeeding.

There should be a little pair of tweezers on the back of the fuse box cover which you use to grab the fuses (otherwise they are a pain to get out) :thumbright:

I use long nose pliers - works better than the tweezers !

OK Got the fuse out (however removing the A/C fuse will also disable the blower, so i plugged it in again). If I remove the compressor, and I accidentally switch on the A/C, will that make any damage to the car?

I doubt it - the switch is electrical - if the compressor is removed, I doubt the current will reach it - just make sure the wires are insulated ......
