Finalizing the installation 

 

There are some good descriptions, coming from Mazda to directly on how to remove the necessary 
panels as well as locate the cable connections. I have included a copy of the information in Appendix-C 
that is coming from these instructions. I hope it will not get me in copyright trouble for including instead 
of referencing, but the information is coming from Internet, I use source reference and I am sure Mazda 
wants happy drivers. Thank you Mazda! 

Steps 

 

Fasten the relay box with relays on a secure place with tie wires under the dashboard. You will 
find a good place high up under the dashboard. Also use tire wraps/tie wire to make sure that 
the wires are secured and not in the way.  
 

 

Replace the panels - Appendix-D 
 

 

Last but not least…  

o

 

Put the tools back in the tool-box 

o

 

Clean the car, vacuum the floor 

o

 

Final check and then give a demonstration! 

Even better if you have an significant other …. (Probably the less technical person), ask him/her to 
act as “normal” with the car. I bet one of two things will happen: 

1.

 

Automatic door lock/unlock is not noticed (actually that is VERY good news) 

2.

 

Parking brake is not used as it should (that is bad) 

So much for a fine demo and credit for all the hours of hard work. Well the good news is that you 
stayed out of trouble and YOU know you have achieved. What is more important? 

 

 

Time to celebrate… the job is done!
