It looks like the threaded shaft that goes from the star wheel to the shoe oh the right is missing. With the lack of maintenance that shows I would look closely at a total bramble job.

If you are asking which wires are used for running light, brake light, turn signal, etc go to Harbor Freight and buy a multimeter for $3.00. Then just test the wires for your self.

Re: Rear Wheel Leaking Fluid! Brakes or Diff?

When you replace the brakes, replace the wheel cylinders. They're cheap and then you can forget about the rear brakes for 100,000 miles.

Re: Brake squeal

Don't guess. Pull the drums/calipers, inspect, reach a correct diagnosis and then repair. Just had a squeal develop on my B2300, pulled the drums, found that on both sides the spring above the...

Re: Gas tank fill flapper

My concern would be the flap falling part way down and getting lodged. Then it may interfere with pumping fuel into the tank. I would replace it while the repair is cheap and easy.

The "cut" code that will allow the dealer to cut a blank with the proper "tooth" pattern?

Re: coded keys

That is entirely possible. My main point remains, if you want to convert a PATS Ranger/Mazda to non-PATS, the parts do exist.

Yes it is white, CarFacts listed the first owner as an individual, not a company. There is no evidence of anything being "ripped out" (no non-functioning lights or electrical cables). It has factory...
