averageJoe, I just spoke to the parts person at the local Mazda dealership and he said that Mazda does not offer that part and that I would have to purchase the whole seat assembly for $1.204 plus the labor to install. So, for a $20 part I need to spend upwards of $1,500. I probably will measure the length required and have a machine shop make the part for about $200. Given that not even Mazda offers this replacement part, I will be hard pressed to buy another Mazda car.
Eddie, That's the same scenario I ran into that lead me to create this thread in the first place once I discovered the part number. They were saying the same thing about the long cable. I think I would use the approach sm1ke suggests of going to a salvage yard to see if you could purchase the drive motor with the cable in question. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think there's as much of an issue with the part you are needing as there is with the long drive cable so taking that approach may work.Would it be possible to visit a local auto junkyard to see if you can pull one off of a wrecked CX-5? It sounds like you can remove the slide motor and cable B from a donor car and install it on your own.
This TSB mentioned a new “service part” for power slide unit is available if the original “short“ motor cable is broken or the motor mounting bracket is deformed. Unfortunately the new service part is quite expensive, around $750 each.Eddie, Look at page 12 of the attached TSB and call your dealership to see if you can order the part number referenced on that page. Follow the instructions in the TSB. I think that should solve your problem.
