WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Pry the solar radiation sensor from the dashboard using a flathead screwdriver wrapped with protective tape.
  3. Remove in the order indicated in the table.
    CAUTION:
    • After the solar radiation sensor removal, the sensor connector could fall in the dashboard making the installation difficult. Therefore, hold the rooted end of the sensor connector using a clip or similar tool to prevent it from falling.
