MX5 and savage switches
Any one help me with this?
There seem to be too many contacts on the MX5 to use a Savage switch.
Any ideas?
Wiring diagram is here

Which switch? Most are simple + and -. Are you talking about hazards? Or headlights etc?

Oh sorry. It's the Hazard wiring.

Are you using the full MX5 loom? Or building your own to suit? I have a Savage switch on mine and as I remember is was quite straight forward.

I'm using the MX5 loom.
It does look straight forward until you see there is an extra pole in the mazda switch.

I think I have 3 wires. Positive, Earth and the light. Although I must admit trawling through those diagrams did nothing for my sleep! In the end I
left stuff like that and the column switches till last. Sat in the car for about 4 hours with one of those sharp pointy testers. I had some Mk2 switch
gear on a Mk1 loom. Part guess work!

Yes. Not sure of all the differences, but it wasn't plug and play when it came to the column controls. Lots of cutting, soldering and heat
shrinking. I had the loom prepared for me by MNR's sparky. Had to cut chunks out though as it was massive!

The MK1 has 2 wires to the switch. The MK2 has 6.

Just make your own mini loom for the Hazard switch, would be the simplest solution...
