well your air blower is located under the glovebox, so that is probably your problem, but the smell, can you describe it? I know when my waterpump was going, i was getting a weird order that smelt slightly sweet, it was the anti-freeze making the smell

It sounds like your blower motor, The one in my blazer went last winter, sounded like a orbital sander an ther was a ozone an burning plastic stink from the toasted motor. you should be able to find a mx-3 blower motor or match one up with another mazda at a salvage yard
