When I brake, the brakes lose pressure, and the washer light comes on (plus more)0_o!
I figure the brake pressure is just air in the brakes (I'm bleeding them tomarrow) but what do you make of the washer light coming on?
Kinda funky, I noticed it afew days ago when I took my car around for a spin to see how the new spark plugs are working (I have a back fire at 4k that I can't figure out)
SO I tried to find why its doing that, the closest I have come to a conclusion is that the old owner Dc'd alot of wires, theres a green and pink (Which I assume is red that discolored with age) wire cut off from somewhere by the steering column, it just hangs there, and then theres another set of wires pulled off (has connector clamps still on there) that is coming from behind the stereo that the old owner just layed next to the shifter, I don't know where these wires go, or do, but I figure that they lead to some of my problems.
Any ideas on how to chase the washer problem, or what the wires that are not connected do.....
or how to fix the high beams I tried everything, it doesn't work, I'm heading to mazda recycling monday for a new instrument cluster
Oh, and I'm also losing clutch pressure, the clutch peddle just hits the floor (happened 2 times so far, which is 2 times to many) and I can't shift out of gear or anything, kinda creepy, Im thinking vaccum pressure issues, but all the vaccum lines are good (Havent checked pressure yet, don't know really how)
Welp, thats a whole lotta questions
Thank you for any help you can offer
You guys have seriously made my RX7 experience alot easier, and ever since I started posting on this board, women find my sexier then normal (And I'm normally damn sexy ) thats something to think about huh

The washer light means that you are low on washer fluid. May sound obvious, but it is the truth. When you brake, the fluid rushes to the opposite side of the sensor causing the sensor to show taht there is nothing there. I had the same "problem", but i just bought some fluid and filled it up and never worried about it again. The only real problem i have is teh fact taht it HAS a washer light... honestly... it is like "UH OH NO WASHER FLUID... PULL THIS DAMN THING OVER!!"

you clutch is a simple thing, it only has a master cylinder and a slave with about 18 inches of line. if the slave cylinder is not leaking then your master cylinder is fubared. You should be able to find one at the breakers and it only takes1/2 hour to change out and blead.
