pop the headlight up , turn off the key. Remove black trim around head light bulb with screwdriver. Remove the retaining screws holding the bulb in place . Be careful notice the difference between the "alignment screws" . These are used to aim the light. There are three retaining screws. There's no need to remove them entirely; just loosen them enough that the trim ring is able to rotate. Rotate the trim ring and and remove it.
Pull out the old light SLOWLY to avoid damage to the wire harness on the back of the light. Carefully disconnect the harness , it has a clip you must squeeze, dont just pull it . Remove old light . Hook harness to new light , put new light in. Place the trim ring over the screws and rotate to lock it in place. Tighten the three retaining screws.
Turn key on , and check the light beam . If its were it used to be , continue to black trim piece. If not , you need to re-align with the "alignment" screws mentioned above . Dont worry , you cant hurt anything . Then reinstall the Black trim .
Well, I had the same problem out of my mazda... if it is the driver side, check the switches to see if the passenger side works. if from the drivers side switches one window works, and the other does not, you need to replace either the power window motor located in the door, or the switch itself. (But check the fuses under the dash first!) if no blown fuse is visible, then the motor is most likely to blame. I have had 2 mazdas with the same problem. good luck.
Belt slipping? Bad bearing in belt driven accessory?
It depends on where you live, and how old the child is. For example if you lived in Canada then the child would have to be 10 and older, but in the United States I think it's 12 years old when a child can sit in the front seat, but many people obied that law. In some cases when the car only has 2 seats (two in the front) the parent or guardian has no choice but to let the child sit at the front.
All of the fuses in the miata are located in the engine compartment. Looking at the car from the front, there is a black case near the left hood hinge. Open it, and the radio fuse is in there.
Take the caps off of the adjusting knob and turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on if you want to point them higher or lower.

If you are one of the few people with a Mazda Miata that does very little driving, you may find that you end up with a dead or very drained battery by spring time. I had this problem for 6 years and after 6 batteries, I resolved the problem. To many reading this the solution may be obvious, but if you are still having problems with your Miata with extra power features, and the battery is being drained by all these internal power sources (excluding a security system) and maybe you've even tried a trickle charger with no luck, the following may help. Solution: If you have a Miata with many power options, and you don't drive the car for a long time, consider getting and installing a battery 'KILL SWITCH'! You can get them for about $12 or less. Drive your Miata more often OR get a Master Battery Kill Switch installed.
To replace the speakers in the door of a Mazda Miata, you simply need to remove the door panel and disconnect the old ones, and connect the new ones. To remove the door panel, you first need to remove the screws holding it secure. (There is typically one located in the handle, and one on each side toward the middle) After this, carefully pull the panel away from the door, removing the door clips. (You may want to get extra from your local auto parts store, as they can become fragile over time and break rather easily.) Once you have all of the clips removed, you'll want to carefully and stably pull the door panel up, as it usually slides into the top of the door where the window is. To put it back on, simply repeat the steps.
I am not familiar with putting larger speakers in, but this should work rather effortlessly if you're using the same size as the stock in door speakers.
The entire headlamp is only connected by the single bolt that holds down the plastic tab at the top of the headlamp shown when you open the hood. At the bottom of the headlamp, is held in by a thick, metal pin about the diameter of a pencil. Once the bolt is removed, you may pull to remove it. Replacing the headlamp is just as easy, and the pin fits into a hole that has no play, so it will be very easy to know when it is installed.
It is strongly advised that you remove the bumper to access the headlight. You remove:
You'll need to clarify if it's a single light or all of the brake lamps.
If it's at least one light, but not all of them it is typically the bulbs. Access to these is from a Phillips head screw at the top of the headlamp, under the trunk, and if you remove the interior carpetting, some bolts behind the tail lamp.
If it's all of the lights, it's typically the fuse. The owners manual and/or the fuse box itself will have a diagram of the fuses, and you can determine which one is used for brakes. There are fuse boxes in the engine bay, as well as the in the interior, underneath the dash by the hood release pull.
If you inspect the fuse and it still looks good, try replacing it with a new one anyway, just to check.
If it's still bad, then perhaps no signal is being sent:
If you receive no signal, then it's probably the brake switch. If you look at the brake pad, and follow the pedal up, you will see a small, squarish switch slightly to the left, held by one bolt. You can remove this to test for electrical current as well.

it has good images and it is well explained
good luck
Start by removing the silver brace on the lock side held by 2 screws. Next you have to unscrew the window latch on top. there is another screw underneath that is sometimes concealed as a manufacturers warranty type deal. Its important to note that the entire door is held together by small white clips and they can easiily be poped off ans lost, my suggestion is when it comes time to take it off have do it in a place where you can see everything that falls off incidentally. Unless you want to crack your wood pannel be carefull with it. If you pull up the metal handle and use a flathead you will revail a screw behind a thin peice of plastic. Unscrew that and get ready to remove the arm rest. There are three screws holding the arm rest one big on e located behind the thin plastic one that you'll need a pretty long Philips for and a third that will be obvious when the others are removed. You will have to tug on the panel. If the wodgran is glued on tight for watever reason try to work around that.
After the pannel is off then there are three screws holding the motor on. I wasted an entire day removing the whole brace and ended up putting the whole thing back together but if you get a socket wrench and feel for these three screws you will save yourself a lot of heart ache. One more tip is make sure you don't knock out the lights from the door panel you could put the whole door back together only to discover there is a wire in there that could mess you quite bad. Test the motor by pluging the two wires in and starting up the car and pressing the window from the center control unit in order not to waste time on a busted replacement getting the panel off is the trickiest part so don't do it twice if you don't have to. You may have to use a crowbar or something to get the pressure off the motors gears though. And finally don't let the glass sip down on your fingers. But I have found it is easier to work on this while it is up FYI. Good Luck!!!
Whew, there are many steps in doing this, it is recommended you get a manual.

Open the hood, find the hood lock/latch mechanism. Look directly to the left about 6-8 inches, you'll see a small 10mm bolt on the car body. Attached to that bolt is a bracket, holding the horn behind the bumper. It is connected with a single, electrical spade connector. The bolt grounds the horn to complete the electrical circuit.
4 Spark Plugs are lined in a row at the top of the engine down the middle (Follow the wires on the top!).
A basic, NGK BKR6E Spark Plug pack is generally recommended.
In the rear passenger side wheel-well behind a plastic cover. my as well change the short rubber hoses holding it, use fuel injector hoses.
Rear calipers may need adjustment (they adjust differently than most cars with a rear disc parking brake) or replacement. Take it to a Miata specialist. And it's "brake" not "break".
But really, if it doesnt work at all and it were your calipers, they would be screwed, otherwise it probably needs adjusted with theres an adjustment screw on the inner side of the parking brake lever.
