What is it, and where does it go???

Doesn't look like any part i've seen on a FD, maybe it got lodged up in your car while driving.

 

I was putting some taillights on my buddies BMW, the new ones had a little removable pre-install black piece that looked like that

 

Both may be correct. I was blowing out my engine bay with a blower though when I found it underneath the car. The flat side of the piece has the numbers 6, 5, 4, 9. Almost like they correspond to some "plug" fitting....

Throw it away. The more that falls off the car is the less you need to worry about....J/K

 

Looks like something that should be inside the car, not in the engine bay.

I agree, just throw it away or have fun going through the FSM.

 

toss it.. i know the inside and outside of my fd..(since i been replacing everything on it..) i never seen it any were ..

 

I agree - that's not a Mazda part. It's something off another car that blew up into your engine bay.

Pitch it.

Was it really necessary to bump this thread? Rhetorical question and the answer is NO

 

yeah I've just finished pulling my car to bits and I didn't come across that thing either.

 

I think this gem of a thread has served it's uh......purpose.
