not, if he is out of warranty (time/mileage) or does not have an extended warranty.

Where does the evaporator drain hose exit the vehicle? Does anyone have the service repair manuals for the CX9 and does it similar to the Haynes manuals? Thanks

If you haven't found it already, the AC evaporator drain plug is located on the driver's side, under the vehicle, on the upslope for the "transmission hump" & under the silver protective sheeth. The drain plug is a white plastic grommet which makes a sharp upturn immediately. Trying to clean the drain tube with a hanger is difficult but an air hose, if you have a compressor, works well. Be prepared to get wet if the evaporator is full & you've already gotten water on your mats as the water will come gushing out after the block is cleared.

Thanks for the information coach. Just trying to do some preventative maintenance. Anyone with information on the Mazda Service Manual for the CX9? Is the manual descriptive like the Haynes manuals?

I don't have a Haynes manual but I do have a genuine Mazda Repair Manual and it is very descriptive and use friendly. Please do invest on an OEM manual instead. I found mine on eBay and it was in pristine used condition.

#69 of 73 Broken Rear Controls by mazda4sale

Jan 05, 2012 (2:02 pm)

My three year old was forcing his backpack out of the back seat and broke the knob off of the rear air controls (the one that controls the fan speed). The fan still works, but you cannot control the speed, just the temperature with the other knob. What broke appears to be the little piece that the control slips into. I tried to fix it, but the circuit was broken. Anyone have an issue with this or know how to order a replacement part?

Sounds like you may have to replace the rear heater control unit. About $212 just for the part.

Hi!
It is normal that the a/c seems to turn on when you turn off the car?
My car does that sometimes when the outside temperature is high and I dont now if is something wrong...

Read some earlier threads...there is a TSB for this issue. Replacing the two relays will most likely fix your issue.

Radiator cooling fans are often designed to do just that.
 
Just in case..
