Frequently Asked Questions
Does this manual cover the pop-up headlight mechanism on the NA Miata?
Yes. The electrical system section includes wiring diagrams and diagnostic procedures for the retractable headlight motor assembly — a common failure point on 1989–1997 MX-5 models — along with full lighting circuit schematics.
Is the Eunos Roadster the same as the Mazda Miata covered here?
Yes. The NA-generation MX-5 was sold as the Mazda Miata in North America and as the Eunos Roadster in Japan. This manual covers all three market variants; both left-hand drive and right-hand drive configurations are included.
