Can i get a picture of the 12a starter wired up.

how i have it now is the upper stud is straight to le battery the lower stud is going to the harness, and the sidepin is going into the same harness.

 

Starter wiring is simple. The positive battery cable hooks to the large post that does not have the wire going inside the starter. Negative bolts to the block, usually thru the top starter bolt, or a bellhousing bolt.
The slide terminal gets a black wire with a whitish-yellow stripe and a plastic terminal.
That *should* be all the wires for the starter. Any other wires attached to the starter, were not placed there by Mazda.

 

There is also the fusible link going to the hot start assist relay.
