yea man, so far so go0d. Ive been beating the crap out of it and cant get it to reproduce the error. And ive been having loads of fun doing so. Its been almost 2 months since ive really been able to drive my car like this.
on a side note. I had a small wreck awhile ago. Messed up the right rear suspension and wheel. I bought a complete right rear suspension off a 07 rx8 and just swapped the whole thing in there. I think the shock got messed up, its stuck in the compressed position. Gonna order a new one.
However, heres my problem. Every so often, while driving normally, usually straight. The ABS, traction control, and ebrake lights come on. Turn key off and back on and they go away.
Any idea whats causing this?

Probably sensor, connector, or harness damage from the same incident........ I was tempted to revisit the harness argument from the previous page but I couldn't do it.

see, swoope hit it ... in this post, im actually asking for opinions, hah!
nothing was damaged on the front of the car at all. This was exclusive damage to the right rear. I unbolted all the unequal length arms that hold the rear suspension in place, detache the axle and abs sensor. bolted the new arms into place, ho0ked up the abs and the axle and it all went together fine.
I know its a question that might need more input to try to figure out whats wrong. Ad far as mazda figuring it out ... maybe not. I replaced the suspension components myself so i'd have to pay mazda to lo0k at it. Guess i'll replace the broked strut and see what happens. is it possible for the sensor to become jarred and operate defectively occasionally?

I recently had to disconnect the ABS distribution module connector under the hood, without disconnecting the battery, on an 8 and had several lights afterward. The e-brake wasn't one of them though.
