Where are the p/s and cruise conrtol cpu's located and what does removing them take? I took out my p/s and I have stripped my throttle body of almost everything so I want to remove these.



Another q. Will is throw off my ecu, am i gonna get check engine lights or buzzers, cause mazda installed the most irritating buzzer ever made and i don't want to drive around with that goin off.

p/s cpu is right by the fuse box near your feet while driving. its amazingly tiny but it wont set off any buzzers.



the cruise control ive yet to tackle but its shown in the FSM.

If your going to remove your A/C for weight sacings, don't do the job only half way. Take out the dash and remove all the ducting and the evaporator, maybe even the heater core if your're feeling frisky. That **** weighs a ton.

I took it out for the SoloII National Tour next month.



I am trying to get it under 2500 lbs by the end of Feb when the tour comes through.





I will be replacing the A/C after the tour.



Black Car + Florida = HOT!



You will loose your mind w/o A/C down here, especially in a black car.
