I recently bought a 2005 rx-8 and it has had some wires cut for some reason. And i have no clue where they go. I am thinking that the 'black with blue' wire and the 'black with orange?' wire goes to the abs but im not sure. So i am asking if any one knows where these wires go or if anyone has a diagram of wires that go under the driver side headlight.

I have a picture of the wires that have been cut.



Thank you.

 

there is more than one of those wires in the car.

you said driver side, can you tell us which harness it belongs to? like a "zoom out" picture of the location would be great.

 

It's right under the headlight. Inside the driver side tire well. Two of the wires are abs I'm pretty sure so it's that group of wires.

 

I don't remember exactly goes there. Sandy is having fun in NYC now I can't look at it for u so ... and for some reason I can't open the FSM on my comp (wtf? adobe corrupted?)

was it the one that goes to the ABS and speed sensor ?

 

Likely the headlight leveling sensor and the ABS wires...

looking at the PDF to try and figure it out

 

OK.... Think this should be correct..

B/LG B/R ABS sensor
L/B horn
B/L B/O B/G Headlight sensor
R/B Ambient temp sensor

You should have headlight warning light and ABS light on dash..and you amb temp on the dash should be wrong...and the LH horn shouldn't work

 

One of my friends said something about ride height? Never heard of it?

 

And can you post a picture of the PDF because the guy I bought the car off from didnt have the manual or anything.

 

not ride height, your headlight has an auto leveling sensor so the light will always be pointing "down" instead of pointing at one direction and blind the other people @ the opposite direction

I think you can download the owner's manual from the Mazda website:
