Hello everyone, I have a nice 93 that i picked up. But I need a ton of help and will be asking a lot of questions till its done. Just to note this is my first rx7 so everything is new (alot diff. than my eclipse)

So the first thing i want to do is get my dash back in to the car, and need to know (i could not find) if there is a good write up on how to put it back in and if not can you please tell me how to do it

thank you

I've never personally seen a how-to thread on a dash re-install. The only suggestion I have is going to the 3rd Gen. Stickys and download a copy of the Factory Service Manual and/or find a downloadable version of the 93 wiring diagrams.

Because this is my first fd I don't know what's missing. (Pics would help me a lot)



Passenger side center



Under drivers side

Also are the two nuts not suppose to be there?

please help this man, can vouch for his honesty. The car cane from me and was torn apart by persons unknown. was too much project for me.

I pulled the dash in my FD in the parking lot using the factory manual and I didn't have any issues with it. Only thing I recommend that I had come up was to pull the A-pillar trim pieces as I ended up with a small tear pulling the dash out through the door. All the little sheet metal brackets can wreak havoc if you let them.1

It's been awhile since I had it out so I can't really help you with the pictures but the manual has all the mounting points in it.

Alright I have most of the dash plugged in but I have two plugs I can't find where the go.



It's the black one in front and the white one behind.

Easiest way to track that down will be to go through the common connectors list at the end of the wiring diagram listed above.

i have checked it and i cant find them. they are in the kick panel on the drivers side.

Also none of my dash lights kick on ex the high beam light.
