headlights worked, and now they dont...
#11
i dont know a ton about the headlight system, as they dont fail much...
the s4 and s5 headlight switches are DIFFERENT. they will plug in, and fry though...
also mazda had a ground problem at the switch, which melts that little subharness (and the switch)
i have pulled the switches apart and repaired them, its not hard at all, unless you're on the rx7club
i think teknaks also had a good thread about the headlight system

im pretty sure its not the switches though...
it has to be something between the little black box that controlls the blinking action and the headlights/blinkers themselfs...i just dont knwo what. im about to hook up a few toggle switches for each thing and call it a day...

the blinkers are done in the CPU in a us car its by the drivers right foot.
dunno about the headlight, i'd have to look at the wiring diagram. off the top though i think its the switch to the relays on the headlight motors

ok, fixed it.
started checking all the relays by the front bumper cause i know one of them controls the headlights. just didnt know wich one. they were all good, so i knew it had to be something real stupid if everything i check works fine.
so i feel under the main fuse box, (the one on the LH strut tower) and they are plugged in but not quite plugged all the way. push them in further. and all the freakin lights work fine again! just a loose connection! damn it! lol...

well i bet next time that happens you will check there first lol did it click when you pushed it in more? or did it just slide in? dunno maybe the clip thing is busted since you know old plastic doesnt like to come apart or be screwed with
