If you have not already done so, download the wiring diagram here: Foxed.ca - Mazda RX-7 Manuals

I’ve checked a couple wiring diagrams but can’t figure out how to read them and identify the wire I’m looking for. The car has bee hot wired in the past which is why I needed to put on a new ignition switch

Wire colors are the starting place, but you need to determine whether the particular plug is even needed on your car. The wiring diagram can help make that determination. You show the connector, but not the wires. What color are they?
