I changed my starter motor on my 1984 B2000 Pickup. Has to be done from underneath. Raise the front end - use jackstands. Remove the negative battery terminal. The holding bolts on the starter are difficult to reach and slow to remove but,with patience, can be done. Space around the motor is tight but with persistance, you can snake it out. Good Luck.
Hello, I found the info you want but it is impossible for me to explain because I am learning about these trucks myself. I bought a 1984 B2000 workshop manual from Mazda for around $17.00 and it has full instruction for everything for your truck including a full teardown. The information you want on Chapter 5: page 10 It has full pictures and exploded view of starting motor and solenoid. I wish I could be more of a help because I DO know the frustration. I am going through it myself with a part that I can't find what it does. I even put up a site to ask for help. http://nicknails.com/B2000/index.htm Good luck on your B2000 because if you can keep it running, it's a great little truck. Nick
on a 1984 caprice this is tricky but not very hard. First thing you do is remove negative battery connection and block back tires & set brake, then lift front pass side of car. Behind wheel there is a support that has to come off first. don't worry it's just a bracket for frame support, it wont hurt to remove this part for now. then you'll see 2 wires 1 big one that goes to battery positive, remove that connection first. then the little one next. now that the wires are off, look for two bolts ,they should be 9/16 or 14mm? one is long & one is short don't mix these up! some are the same size. loosen them slowly. the starter motor is heavy so be careful. once you remove bolts there might be a hold down or grounding bracket. remove & turn starter out! remember how you take it out, since it has to go back in the same way! reverse procedure to install.
You have to drop the transmission or pull the engine. remove the flexplate and oil pan.
If it turns over very slowly, check for bad battery and ground connections. It should turn over quickly if you jump start it. If it doesn't, the battery connections are bad and/ or the battery is bad.

A person can find a wiring diagram for a 1984 Mazda b2000 in its maintenance book. They can also ask for a print out at an auto part store.

Answer:My resources show that the fuel pump for the 1984 Mazda B2000 is an in-line electric type, mounted near the gas tank (outside of the tank, NOT inside). Check on top of driver frame rail above the front leaf spring eye.
There are a few variations on that. US/Canadian, Auto/Stick, Air/No Air, California. What you got?
* Detach the negative battery cable * Clearly label then disconect the wires from the terminals on the starter motor and solenoid * Remove the mounting bolts and detach the starter
no power coming to the starter solenoid when you turn the key use a light bulb tester to test the solenoid wire while someone turns the key for you (small wire going onto the top of the starter on its own
Left hand side below intake manifold remove the two bell housing bolts that hold starter in place. Bell housing bolts come off easiest from below truck you will be best to use a wobbly 14mm socket and at least a 12" extension. I had my tranny off several times now.
