2004-2006 Mazda 3 OEM Manual A/C Heater Climate Control Panel 2.3L
**Product Details**
Genuine OEM manual HVAC control panel removed from a 2004–2006 Mazda 3. This center-dash assembly controls the vehicle’s heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, fan speed and airflow functions.
The three rotary controls identify this as the manual-temperature-control version. It is intended for vehicles equipped with factory air conditioning and is not interchangeable with the electronic automatic-temperature-control panel.

Trim names vary by model year and market. Compatibility depends on the original HVAC configuration, part number, connectors, control cables and face-panel design.
**Part-Number Information**
Mazda’s catalog identifies the following part-number family for the 2004–2006 Mazda 3 with a 2.3L engine, factory A/C and manual temperature control:
- BN8L-61-190D
- BN8L61190D
- BN8L-61-190A
- BN8L-61-190B
BN8L-61-190D is listed as the later replacement for BN8L-61-190A and BN8L-61-190B.
The current listing photographs do not show a readable Mazda part-number label. Confirm the number on the actual unit before adding BN8L-61-190D to the title or item specifics.
**Possible 2.0L Applications**
Some salvage interchange catalogs group selected 2.0L manual-A/C controls with the same Hollander interchange. Mazda catalog numbers for certain 2.0L applications begin with BN8R rather than BN8L.
Do not guarantee 2.0L fitment solely from the current eBay compatibility table. A 2.0L buyer should match:
- Complete OEM part number
- Front control layout
- Rear electrical connections
- Mechanical control-cable attachments
- Factory A/C equipment
- Manual versus automatic temperature control
**Required Vehicle Equipment**
The vehicle must have:
- Factory manual temperature control
- Factory-installed air conditioning
- Three rotary HVAC controls
- Matching silver-button arrangement
- Matching electrical connectors
- Matching mechanical control-cable attachments
- Matching housing and mounting points
**Not Compatible With**
- Automatic temperature-control systems
- Electronic climate-control panels
- Vehicles without factory air conditioning
- Controls with a different face-panel design
- Units with different electrical connectors
- Units with different control-cable attachments
- Most 2007 and later facelift Mazda 3 applications
- MazdaSpeed3 applications
- Other Mazda models merely using a similar-looking panel
**Condition**
Pre-owned genuine OEM part. Normal cosmetic wear, light scratches, dust, fading or surface marks may be present from previous installation, removal and storage.
Review the listing photographs for the exact condition of:
- Rotary knobs
- Button markings
- Faceplate
- Connector sockets
- Control-cable mounts
- Housing
- Mounting tabs
The pictured item is the item the buyer should expect to receive unless the listing specifies otherwise.
**What Is Included**
- One OEM manual HVAC control assembly
- Components attached to the photographed unit
Control cables, mounting screws, dashboard trim and additional wiring are included only when clearly shown in the listing photographs. The seller’s generic “mounting hardware” item specific should be removed unless hardware is actually supplied.
**Installation**
This is normally a direct replacement when the original equipment and part number match. Electronic programming is not generally expected for this manual control; however, the mechanical temperature and airflow cables must be connected and adjusted correctly.
Professional installation is recommended. After installation, test:
- All fan speeds
- Full hot-to-cold temperature travel
- Every airflow mode
- A/C engagement
- Air recirculation
- Front defrost
- Rear defogger
A malfunctioning blower resistor, actuator, cable, fuse, relay, compressor or wiring circuit will not be repaired by replacing the control panel.
**Buyer Verification**
Before ordering, compare the replacement with the original unit for:
- Model year
- Engine application
- Factory A/C equipment
- Manual climate-control configuration
- Complete OEM part number
- Knob and button layout
- Electrical connectors
- Mechanical cable connections
- Mounting points
VIN verification through a Mazda dealer or qualified parts specialist is recommended when the original number cannot be confirmed.
**Important Listing Corrections**
- Describe the unit as manual temperature control.
- Restrict the primary application to 2004–2006 Mazda 3 models with factory A/C.
- Do not guarantee the 2006 2.0L application without matching the original part number.
- Remove “Mounting Hardware Included” unless hardware is pictured.
- Replace “Manufacturer Part Number: Does Not Apply” with the verified number from the unit’s label.
- Add clear photographs of the rear label, connectors and cable attachments.
