ok so there is this little black box that was hooked up to some white electrical plug that sits right infront of the battery. The connector was completely corroded.

 

Naaawwwzzzzz!

 

coolant level senor wire???thats the only connect or small guage wire i can think of in the area

 

Unless it's a headlight motor plug. I really can't see it. Can you take a closer shot of it?

 

Humm well the lower water level senser hooks into the black box but there is a large pulg with like 5 or 6 wires that hook into it the front of it says Oscillator FA30 67 690 any idea's?

 

no unfortunatly I dont have a camera

 

Kinda off topic but..............

Remote oil filter located there on the strut tower? Kinda nice - hows it work, and where can I get one?

 

High beam low beam thingy?

 

dude..thats my car!! i just went outside to go check out that lil black box thing. Ive never even noticed it before. Man! I have no idea what it is. I thought it would be something for the lights but its not. I disconnected it and everything still worked. Im sure someone will let you know what it is soon.

 

humm well before I pulled the connector off the lights worked just fine every time I put a fuse in the hazards it blew up but that oscillator is under the dash.

 

hehe yea that is the best picture I could find that didnt have the battery in the way thanks for the picture ..... hey think you can take a closer picture of the thing hooked up for me might help them figure it out.

 

Its the Oscillator.Theres been a lot a questions about what exactly it does.Basically it controls the low coolant buzzer.The light will still work if its unplugged,but the buzzer wont.Mazda really didnt want us to run low on coolant!

 

i would take another picture if i can but my lil brother just took off w my camera

 

man youre smart. Nice!! i actually learned something new today

 

hehe thanks again steve well I guess the one wire that hadent caroded through the cable was the one that was keeping the light working

 

Well anyone have a spare one lieing around they want to donate? Hey and I was just curious I drove my car in the mountains last summer and I fluded it ..... anyway long story short everythings work but now the low gas light does not kick on the guage is correct but the light dosent come on any more any reason why?

 

theres a lot of places that have remote oil filters. I know that Mazdatrix and Racing beat have them for sure. Ive even seen them on Summit and Jegs. I just put it on so i can use a bigger oil filter. (a Fram PH8) i had it on my rx2 and just decided to put it in my 7.

 

How is it plumbed in? PH8 My Dakota or Mustang uses that one.

 

Everything looks pretty simple except the block off plate that must replace the stock filter location. I have the aluminum block that allows oil temp and pressure fittings under my filter already - what kind of fitting replaces the filter?
