I'm just about to get rid of an NB wiring harness, there is bound to be some heavy white/black in there. How much do you need, and where do I send it? It'l probably get there by Christmas - no, don't be silly, I mean NEXT Christmas ....

What's your timetable for "just about to" on that harness? Right now I've got messages out to a bunch of the usual suspect Miata dismantlers stateside (Redline, SNS, etc) to see if anyone would be willing to just lop that whole connector off a harness with about 10" of wire. Unfortunately there are a couple other Scotchlok T taps on other wires in that same bundle which I'm sure are horribly undersized for that gauge of wire. From there I can depin the wires I need and fix each with a single splice. If that doesn't work out and depending on your timetable we can probably make that happen! :bigtu: |
Reading these posts with their attention to detail is very satisfying, like watching bob ross do a painting.
A+ and in for youtube channel with lots of muttering and swearing while soothing acoustic guitar music plays |
I have a whole parts car with that exact wire thingey. U can has it.
|
I think I'll just punk out and buy the switch.
|
I did the same refurbish to mine (NA), naturally using the revlimiter writeup as a guide. Didn't really make much of a difference in the long run. I think the key switch itself is worn, meaning it doesn't turn the contacts like it's supposed to.

I'm just going to hack that whole ignition switch pigtail off with as much wire as I can reach under the dash (minimum 12") and I'll send you beer money. Or shipping if that's how it works out. There's a couple of these on ebay at the moment but they are either completely ratfucked with vampire taps from other shitty alarm installs or the wiring pigtails are like 2" long and I need WAY more wire than that to fix my harness.

I had actually considered doing Adam's S2000 Starter Button conversion on the NB because its only the crank position contacts that are screwed up on mine, as far as I can tell. But genuine replacement Honda switches aren't $35 anymore and I don't want to go down the rabbit hole trying to mod a system that is already causing me reliability issues. The $135+ for a Stook switch buys me at least 3 OE Miata keyswitches, and my last one held up for 21 years. Hard to argue with that. With that kind of longevity, by the time a new one wears out we'll all be banned from driving cars anyway. |

Because of course he does. Damn that guy! :fawk: :love:
And yeah, the price of S2k start buttons is out of hand. I have a single spare in my spare parts stash. I'm still on my first which has worked well for over 21 years, but I worry when that spare will get called to service and leave me needing another at $$$whatever they're going for then. |

Wow, that made me feel old. Also, I'm jealous of you Cappuccino. There, I said it. My fatass probably wouldn't even fit in the thing and yet I still want one even though I'm trapped in California emissions hell.

lost in the void forever. Until you decide fuck it, I'll buy a new one and install it. Then 2 weeks later it will show up somewhere you looked at least thrice.
It's not helping that my garage looks like an episode of Hoarders. Its a 2 car garage and there is a car in there, but people often can't find it unless they know what to look for :hahano: |

Even has your name on the other side of the package. I keep looking at it wondering what it should go in, might put it in the Volvo... |
HAHAHAHA! YESSSSSS!
I love that it's in you pile of crap and not my pile of crap 😂 Also, that needs to go in your NB. Srs. |
Pics removed, move on, these are not the plugs you are looking for ...
Well, if at first you don't succeed, ... https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...b56adc8e6d.jpg maybe you just keep on looking ... That looks like what you are looking for? That's a 98 ADM NB8A, its got the heavy white/black wire, and it seems to be in the right place. Waddayarekkin? |
I did the BRB "fix" years ago, but I opted to use a switch from Summit instead of sullying my car with a part from a Honda. :eek: You can't beat the $12.99 price and it (almost) fits perfectly into the spot vacated by the cigarette lighter.

If you wanted an actual Mazda part, I believe the ND comes with a push-to-start button. I think I saw a Mazda PN that included some wiring somewhere? It's been a while. It's certainly not going to be $13 |

That looked like it required a ton of effort, I appreciate you taking the time to sort all that out! |

It's funny I read this after getting my NB harness out of the garage attic for a completely different reason ... lemme go look at it again. Should have it. You want that 6 way connector with all wires for how far back? 12 inches?
edit: this guy right? https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...3a340db87e.jpg |
