2001 Mazda Miata Service and Repair Manual

Known issues on the 2001 Miata. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first is an exterior lighting recall covering corner lamps, turn signals and headlights sold as replacement lamps for these cars: some combination lamps are not equipped with amber side reflectors and fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, and without the amber reflectors the vehicle will be poorly illuminated, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash without warning. The second covers the fog lights, where the socket holder is installed in the lamp casing using pressure; heat from the bulb expands the socket holder and forces it rearward, and after repeated expansion combined with vibration during vehicle operation the socket holder, bulb holder and wiring harness can separate from the fog light casing, letting the bulb socket and harness drop inside the bumper where the heat generated by the bulb can, rarely, cause the bumper to burn. One complaint is on record for the year.
Whether you are tracing a lighting fault back through the harness or working a routine service interval on the 1.8L L4, it keeps you on Mazda's own procedure and the correct figure for this 2001 Miata.
ON CERTAIN MINI VANS AND PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE SOCKET HOLDER IN THE FOG LIGHTS IS INSTALLED IN THE LAMP CASING USING PRESSURE. DURING OPERATION OF THE FOG LIGHT, THE HEAT FROM THE BULB CAN EXPAND T
SHOULD THIS OCCUR, THE BULB SOCKET AND THE HARNESS CAN DROP INSIDE THE BUMPER AND POSSIBLY BUT RAREL
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SPRING TO PREVENT THE SOCKET HOLDER FROM SEPARATING FROM THE LAMP CASE. OWNE
