I have been going through my '93 RX7 trying to get all the little issues sorted out so I can put it on the road. One of the last little things is I need to install a reservoir/pump for the windshield washers so I can pass inspection. The previous owner removed/threw away the stock unit so I'm going to wire in an aftermarket setup for the short term till I can get a stock one. I'm trying to locate the wiring/connector for the pump so I can use the stock trigger. My multimeter is dead so I cant hook it up to check and see if this is activated by the switch. Does anyone know if the above connector, which is located behind the passenger headlight, is the correct connector? If not, could someone please post a picture showing the connector I am looking for. There are several unplugged connectors under hood, but this seems like the most likely.

thanks

The windshield washer pump plug is on the drivers side. It looks like you are at the passenger side. The plug will be under/behind the inner fender.

Does that wire look like it would go back towards the firewall and wrap around the shock tower? It coming out of the side of the engine bay?

Looks like ABS sensor for the passenger side wheel to me.

+1. IIRC it's a two-pin connector, but what you've pictured definitely isn't for the WS washer.

Hmm. I could have sworn that the owners manual showed it on passenger side. I'll check drivers side when I get home. I know there a ton of disconnected wires on that side.

Thanks for the help.

You may be thinking of the coolant overflow bottle, which is on the left (passenger) side. But WS washer fluid tank on the opposite (driver/right) side.

That would be my guess too, but it's hard to tell from the blurry picture. Does it have two dual prong tabs on it to connect to the shock tower?

backwards? Left driver side as the windshield washer bottle...Right side is coolant overflow...on US models at least....

2 wire connector...B (ground) and Blue/Green

located on drivers side behind light

He was talking about if you were looking at the engine bay. The coolant overflow would be on the left, and the washer fluid would be on the right.

shouldn't confuse us old folks with left/right orientation lol...doh! I knew sgt couldn't be that far off...lol

i'm still digging around for it and haven't been able to locate. i'm beginning to think the previous owner cut it. *facepalm*

rather than start a new thread:
1. Do 93-95 all use the same fenders? I'm finding that my front fenders measures 25.5" on one side and 25" on the other. The frame rails are even and the front lip is even as well. the distance to the top of the hood seems even side to side. i'm confused as to how there could be a 1/2" difference side to side yet the other measurements line up. its almost like two different fenders are installed. it is possible that one fender is rolled and the other one isnt as the lower fender lip sits a little closer to the face of the tire than the higher fender lip. however, i'm not sure that would account for a 1/2" difference.

2. can the rear hub assembly be replaced without a press if the wheel bearing is already installed on the hub? is one necessary to separate the hub from the support assembly?

Yes. I should have said coolant overflow is on the right (passenger) side.
Sorry if that confused the OP.

should all have the same fenders....what/where are you measuring..?

I can't remember where, but I think I read that the height difference is not uncommon in the FD. I want to say it was speculated by knowledgable guys (Howard Coleman maybe?) that it was to compensate for the weight of the driver. IIRC there is and always has been about a 3/8" difference in the front of my car (driver's side higher) as measured from the ground to the apex of the wheel opening on the fender. And it has never been repaired.

^ I think it has more to do with the fuel tank being on that side (USDM driver side) Otherwise the JDM cars would "lean" the other way, right?

Drivers side is lower on my car. Measured at top of arch. Frame is even side to side. Wheel opening is uneven.
