EDIT: If you know what sections of the manual you need, I can copy them for you. There is also a shop manual available on CD on eBay for a few bucks, but I don't know if it is a good as the hard copy available from Mazda. It does have a wiring diagram, though.

Unfortunately, the wiring diagrams don't work that way. They are all schematics with the individual diagrams associated mainly with particular devices or systems. So there is no diagram for wires in a specific place in the car. I will attach an overall diagram that may or may not be of any use.

If anybody is reading this and looking to install an alarm/remote start/etc, don't suffer sorting through all these schematics.

Hello all, My apologies if this is the wrong thread. I have problem with starting the car as I turn on the ignition key the car boot automatically opened and the alarm sounded with no cracking of the engine. I suspect this could be a wiring issue. I hv just picked my rx8 back for engine replacement to rx7 engine with turbo. Any good pointers are very much appreciated.Tqvm.

No crank, but tripping the alarm MIGHT be a dead/low battery. But I've never heard of a low battery popping the boot.
Also, if you have one, try a different key. It's possible the transponder inside the key went dead. In which case, the car wouldn't start and the alarm would be triggered because it thinks the car is trying to be stolen. Again, haven't heard of this popping the boot.

Hello guys.
Someone in an attempt to steal or damage my car, cut some cables beneath the steering wheel of my manual RX-8.
the first picture shows the plugs, right next to the brake cable.
the second picture shows the cables that lead to the brakes.
the third picture shows the cables right above the gas pedal that leads to this brown box.
Could someone who knows these things, tell me, which harness I should replace.
Is it the "under dashboard" harness or does it have to do with the engine harness?
Please help a fella out, I am totally dissapointed!
