Hi David,
Here's a link to a download for the Miata 1991 wiring diagram http://www.madracki.com/miata/wiring.html
Helped me out big time when I stripped my loom.
Cars really coming on now. It's a nice feeling when you can bolt stuff in and leave it there.......

Keep up the good work and keep the piccy's coming....

Johno

ps....... I also have a PDF workshop manual for the 1990 if it's of any help''''

Default Random wires of the day!!!

Has anyone got any suggestions what this might be off??

Looks like a radio connector but it's not on any of the diagrams..

Default Fuel Pipes

Is it taboo to have the fuel pipes next to the wiring loom under the bonnet. I am trying to route the pipes but there are so many wires for the mx5 some of the pipes/wires may have to cross.

Tonight I made some progress with tidying up my loom. Until.... I traced my horn wire back through the harness and it ended at a plug!!! With no other plug to match. with the aid of skov's wiring diagram I realised that there should be a horn relay here. More parts to buy!!!!

I might still have the horn relay, if I can dig it out you're welcome to it.
Post up a pic of the connector and I'll have a look.

EDIT: Found it! PM me your address and I'll stick it in the post.

Decided to put some power through my loom tonight. No sparks or fires!!! ..... But not much else either. The headlight relay seemed to click on and off with the light switch but that was about it. When I flash the lights the fuel and oil pressure gauges seem to jump to max.

Has anyone got any ideas?
