You will need to replace both the headlight switch and the harness... both are available from Mazdatrix.

Remember you must buy the correct harness based on what year/series you have.

And this is covered in the FAQ for FC sticky thread found at the top of this section. Many of the commonly asked questions are answered there.

When u say both what do you mean? I'm not familiar with how the harness is set up. When u say both are you talking the plug that go into the windsheild wiper AND the headlights? or is there a plug under the plug of mine that is burnt?

Hey thanks for telling me where to find the harness. But does anybody have the harness for under $116? And since I took out my airbag can I buy the harness that doesn't need the airbag? Or because my car originaly cane with an airbag should I buy the harness for the airbag?

This is a 90-91 convertible?

Anyway, you need the light switch harness, the wiper switch harness is a different harness. Did you not understand that I said, you need to replace both the light switch and the light switch harness if either the light switch or light switch harness is burnt?

and you don't want a used one that shows any overheating damage...so I wouldn't be looking at anything but a new one if you smoked the harness.

and the air bag has nothing to do with the harness. The light switch does. If you have a 90-91 convertible, then there will be only one plug on each end of the light switch harness. If you have any other FC there will be two plugs. There are no air bag wires in any of the light switch harnesses.
