#1 of 35 Headlights are stuck open by green55 May 26, 2007 (2:47 pm)
My 1997 Mazda Miata headlights stopped working in the open position. The lights still operate but the raise and lower actuators do not. I checked the fuse panel for the obvious but need help in diagnosing this problem.

Replying to: rt69 (Jun 05, 2007 12:51 pm) Maybe a harness is connected upside down? That's my guess.   Sorry, never worked on the pop-up headlights. At least you can still use them. Imagine if they were stuck down!

I had the same problem in another vehicle, and had to replace the harness from the turn indicator to the lights.
#5 of 35 2000 Miata radio will not work by sparky00 Sep 20, 2007 (9:52 pm)
I have been reading several of the posts about removing the battery and having to re-enter a security code for the anti-theft/radio to start working. I had purchased this vehicle over a year ago after it have been in a wreck. I recently finished putting it back together and have found that the radio does not work at all. Can anyone help me figure out how to get the radio working? Also this Miata has a key fob with it. Thanks!!
#6 of 35 headlights not working by hotwheels1 Nov 11, 2007 (6:35 pm)
My headlights stopped working, I checked the fuse and it's OK. They pop-up and close with no problems. Is it possible that both lights could burn out at the same time?? Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 12, 2007 8:38 am)

Replying to: hotwheels1 (Nov 11, 2007 6:35 pm) Yes, in fact that's very likely, because bulb life tends to be pretty consistent.   I had lights burn out within a week of each other, and this was after 7 years of use!
#8 of 35 97 Miata headlights by natedog1 Nov 23, 2007 (4:23 pm)
My Miata has no headlights in the low beam position only. The high beams work fine, The manual (Haynes) suggests the combination switch mounted on top of the steering column as the culprit, and sure enough, there is no continuity between the terminals listed. What I need to know is what needs to be replaced, The entire sub assembly, with the directionals, cruise control, etc. or is there an easier way out? Also, any suggestions as to where to find the right part would be helpful. Replies to this message: shmoogey (Mar 20, 2008 3:40 am) natedog1 (Mar 20, 2008 4:22 pm) ateixeira (Mar 21, 2008 5:37 am)
