Does anyone know if the Mazdaspeed3 has a factory pin switch? The wiring guide says it does, but I can not seem to locate it on the hood assembly.

Factory hood switch? Part of hood latch.

You can get this at BCM/Fusebox. Green plug. Black with Yellow stripe. Reads as ground with hood closed and shows 5 to 12 volts when hood is open. Program 5701 for normally closed (menu 1 feature 11).

I had the front bumper off of my 2008 Speed3 over the weekend and did not see any wires going to the hood latch. Your car may not have that wire either.

I found a bundle of wires leading to the hood latch assembly, but it looked like I would have to remove a metal piece to access the sensor. I will check this out tomorrow. There is a wire loom that runs along the top of the radiator fan and leads into the latch assembly. I thought it might be some sort of temp sensor but it might be the hood pin.

J-

it didn't look like the wires would be exposed with the bumper removed. I will try to take pics of this and report back tomorrow.

Im doing my install on Sat-- wish me luck!

Don't go to the hood latch. Go to the BCM as per my previous post. Trust me.

You don't need luck . . . knowledge will get the job done.

Why is there NO mention about the clutch on this car, and the fact of the VIPER unit?

Am I simply being impatient.... and this will be the very next question posted?

Sorry KarTuneMan, I was snoozing.

The way that I do clutch override is in drivers kick.

There's a gray/black wire which shows 12V during crank whether you press the clutch or not. Connect the heavy gauge purple crank wire to this one.

Keep the 5701LE in its default manual transmission mode - the way it comes out of the box.

Connect the e-brake and door triggers of course.

E-brake is BLACK/ green (–) near large blue connector at BCM / Fusebox.

Ok--- I found this wire on my 07 speed3

viper 5701, 2007 mazdaspeed 3 - Page 3 -- posted image.

Can someone explain how to test wires properly?

I put my meter to DC power at 20V, put the black probe to chassis ground and tested the wire with the red probe.

I got different readings with the hood up and down, but it wasnt an obvious 5-12v with the hood up and 0 with it down.

am I testing the wires incorrectly?
