Have you done a search?

Pretty sure there's a good list that RX7Doc had of various models manuals.

Gambone gave me a print out of wiring diagrams from 1970's rotary mazda's. It's not handy but if it has RX2 wiring diagrams and you can't find them online then let me know and we'll figure some way to get you that info.

Its very easy. On the brake pedal assembly, there is normally closed switch with bullet terminals. Look for two green/black wires with clear platic cover, one of which has a constant 12v, chances one wire got disconnected.
