Installation Need help with your installation? The Miata latch mechanism incorporates this feature probably because the mechanism was used on a different Mazda model before the Miata.
The problem is that the lock cylinder incorporates stops that prevent the key from turning counterclockwise. I challenge someone to figure out how to enable this function on our Miatas.
Before mounting the switch for the final time, we need to pre-wire it. Cut two pieces of wire approximately 6" long. Solder one wire to the lower tab on the end of the switch and solder the other one to the bottom tab.
Sorry about having to solder the wires, but there really is not enough room when the switch is mounted to use crimp connectors. Put heat shrink tubing over the connections and also cover the other tab on the end. All of the contacts on the switch need to be well insulated. Now, bent the two tabs on the end away from the center to make sure they clear the raised lip on the trunk latch frame. Attach the female Molex housing using the male pins to the other ends of the wires.
The pins can be crimped or crimped and soldered. Soldering makes for a much more reliable connection. Push the contacts into the back of the connector until they click. Now mount the switch to the latch. Double-check the operation of the lever and switch. The little "T" tab at the bottom makes a great place to use a wire tie to strain relief the wires coming from the switch.
First thing to do is reconnect the remote trunk release, if you really want to. Think about it first. Having the release in the center console leaves you with no secure place to put your valuables. The lock on the console can be defeated with a sharp tug. If you do not reconnect the cable, the only way into your trunk is with the key.
If you do decide to reconnect the cable, slip the ball into the lever and rotate the cable counter-clockwise until you can snap the white cable end onto the housing in the same groove it was in when you took it out. Now reinsert the lock wire into the orange bushing. Rotate the busing clockwise to latch the wire in place.
Start by disconnecting the negative terminal from the battery. Insert the longer of the two wires into the contact so that it will mate with the wire going to the side of the switch.
Insert the shorter wire so it matches with the wire coming from the bottom of the switch. Connect the two halves of the connector and route the short wire to the positive terminal of the battery. Run the long wire along the wire bundle that goes around the right side of the trunk near the top.
The wire needs to end up where the bundle splits off and one section travels up the right trunk hinge. Attach the terminal underneath the nut on the positive battery connector. You can reconnect the positive terminal at this time, but leave the negative battery terminal disconnected. Now to work on the business end of the wiring. On the right trunk hinge, near the trunk lid, the wire harness is held on with a harness tiedown. Press the little "arrowhead" on the back of the hinge together and pop it back through the hinge.
Pop this one loose too. Remove the black tape for 3 to 4 inches on all three legs of the "Y" at the trunk hinge. You will also need to remove the orange tape and the tiedown from the harness.
Trace these wires back into the branch that goes towards the cockpit. Cut both of these wires about 2" back towards the cockpit from the "Y". Attach both of the ends of the wires leading into the cockpit to the un-banded end of the diode. They are actually combined farther back in the wiring harness.
It was just easier to make the attachment here than way back under the package shelf. Be sure to solder this connection securely.
Now we are going to attach the other ends of the cut wires the ones leading into the trunk lid along with the wire from our latch switch to the banded end of the diode. Solder this connection securely too. Here is what the diode and the wires should look like:.
Now wrap this diode and the wires well with electrical tape and then rewrap the wire harness with the tape. Reattach the harness tiedown with electrical tape, too. Make sure the diode is securely wrapped to the harness so that it will not be strained if the wires are pulled on, and pop both harness tiedowns back in place. Now we can check and see if all of this was worth it. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
