I think I should be good. I'll take the trim panel off tomorrow with the cigarette lighter circuit wiring diagram. Even if I tap into the cigarette lighter connection as long as I continue the electrical path it should be fine. I'll pass my plan by my Dad before I go do any snipping. The wire...

Any chance you could sneak under and take a pic? The all yellow wire with the cap on it is attached to a red with gold? band every inch or so. It goes from the fog switch to the headlight relay, I'm guessing? On the other side of the red with gold band wire is just sitting with a cap on it...

I just leave the fog light switch on. The way he did the mod is that the fogs only turn on when the running lights are on. However, I can still turn the fogs off/on with the switch once they are on.

Previous owner did that mod... I'm kind of nervous to see the wiring considering he powered an 12 to 120V converter with home speaker cable...I'll take a look tomorrow..

Sounds about what I was thinking to do besides the aac (now i feel dumb). Can't I look underneath to the back of the fog switch and tie into the switch there? Seems like the easiest thing to do. I figured.. My brain is fried after work today. I thought about it after I said that.

did you just use a wire tap? What's a.a.c?

Hello fellow P5'ers. Well while the beast is down for an engine overhaul I feel like I need to do a few other small 'mods', more like conveniences.. I have sourced LED's for the dome, map and rear lights which are in the mail. However, I am constantly driving at night and like having a...

ha... then you pay labor if you don't know what your doing. If I was in a rush or didn't have the options I would have just parted it out or traded it in...thankfully my household has 7 cars for 3 people one of my favorite is the '91 miata. Car will have to wait till after thanksgiving... It's...

Were doing a full rebuild from bottom to top..thankfully we have a full shop and have quite a bit experience rebuilding engines. The guy that's doing all the machine work is also locating all of the gaskets rods rings pistons crank seals etc ..which is pretty nice considering he is giving to...

Well, I confirmed 2 valve seals going bad.... I'm honestly surprised it ran at all with the problems it had...mind you, there was no oil smell, smoke burning... (scratch) This is in the order we found stuff. 1. once it was on the stand - turned upside down and removed the oil pan and that...

Amen to that. Raleigh has areas that are smooth and makes me drive over them 2-3 times if I have time to. And there's areas where you go... where the f(boom02)(boom02)(boom02) did I just drive to... Nice looking P5...

Well guys more then likely I have an top-end rebuild... Top end was starved of oil by the looks of it. I took a little bendable mirror and a flash light and under the valve cover was not near as lubed up as it should be. I checked the oil again... and it was way low. (I checked oil last week and...

I meant VTCS (p1569)... It's been a long day at work... Excuse my stupidity as I probably confused a few people... If it's only happening at lower op. temperatures I think I can rule this out unless it's sticking for whatever reason...as you said. The thermostat I have in the car should open...

That butterfly in the intake manifold.. Are you talking about the first one near the MAF or the VCIS butterfly... A month or 2 ago I was getting an intermittent P1569 (VCIS low input) and it was robbing the car of what little power it has. I thought I read the VCIS opened up at around 4K I'll...

Hey mazda community, I have an '02 protege5 with ~141k miles. It is the 4 speed auto. Past few days I've noticed it running a bit rougher, a little more vibrations than usual with these cars. Mounts are all good - replaced all but the left tranny mount spring 2012. Engine at idle sounds clean...

DIBS on the bumper if it's in good condition... light pole and the previous owners brother did a number on mine :(

STill have the front bumper? What is the condition? Color doesn't matter as I can't seem to find a red one and I need some body work on the front anyways.

I'm 99% sure that it doesn't have any pressure valve. I just walked out to take a look at it. The cap actually has a small seal but within the cap lid is a whole attached to a hose for the overflow... And if for whatever reason it is, I would believe it's the same pressure if not lower than...
