Common Symptoms It May Address
- Blower motor works on only one speed
- Fan speeds stop responding correctly
- Intermittent cabin airflow control
- HVAC fan output is inconsistent
- Loss of proper automatic climate control blower operation
Installation Notes
Verify that the vehicle is a 2010-2013 Mazda 3 equipped with Automatic Temperature Control before ordering. Inspect the blower motor connector and related HVAC wiring during replacement, and confirm the resistor location matches the original unit. Part number SW11498C should be matched to the existing component and vehicle configuration.
Quality Assurance
