Hey I didn't die :) I completed the power lock and window conversion successfully, everything works great

Thanks for the response, I change the oil every 5,000 miles (I use mobile 1 synthetic) but I don't always check the CAI everytime (I will in the future now)

Ok, I have an INJEN CAI, that I clean and maintain regularly, but this time I went to check it and oil it, and the air filter cone had fallen off and was sittingaround at the bottom of the black plastic gaurd. The last time I checked it was 10,000 miles ago, It could of fallen off 1 mile ago or...

That car has the clear headlights, regulars have a grey/black trim inside the plastic. They look nice and are probably newer than stock, so it is a good thing. The taillights are the alzetta taillights. once again, not stock, so newer, less faded. I don't like that style that much, but I don't...

I'm Rolling 215/45/17 on my MP3, it looks like it rubs maybe just a little bit, but it won't for long, it will just wear a slight groove and you'll be fine.

I just ordered all the additional parts i need, lock actuators and power window regulators, and trim and wiring all around for all doors! I also ordered a keyring button thingy (FOB right?) and the receiver that goes inside the car... hopefully i can program this myself. I willl have some more...

awesome, I still have yet to see one in person. ive gone to a few dealerships and they never have MS3s in to look at :(

Yes it is the one on page 13, (wire is number A in their diagram) I just illustrated my diagram looking into the connector rather than behind it looking at the wires. it is the wire bunch that hook in almost directly behind the 1 2 3 4 DIAL. Never blown a fuse. I think the problem is most...

You are absolutely correct, If you dont want this to happen again a couple years down the road, you would need to beef up the metal connector on the wire that clips into the plastic connection housing. It would be hard to find a clip that was heavier duty and still fit inside the plastic housing...

my connector says 6F in the back. the dealer should have a parts catalog to be able to order one I imagine. I just used the one that came with my replacement control unit, it had both connectors, as it had just been cut out by the wires and had both connectors in place. if your original...

SUREFIRE FIX! OK, I know it has been a while since people were working on this, but I have finally fixed my AC!! I know what is going wrong here, and why so many people have replaced the unit only to have their A/C still not work. Being entirely fed up with my A/c being completely random, only...

He Heh, I hear ya, But I actually enjoy the challenge, and it is still cheaper than buying the i touring model vs i sport actually.

OK guys, very good news to report. with the new door wiring harness installed, The power window motor works! and the new lock latch part works as well! I now have Power locks on my driver side door! Power windows will work as well, just had a hiccup, since the place I got the parts from sent me...

I know that this has been posted and posted on this forum. Unlike the other posts though, I actually think I have it solved this time. I hope this thread can be the definitive guide on adding power locks and windows to your Mazda3 Base sedan. I just got a steal of a deal on my 2007 Mazda3...
