The factory radio wiring harness was trashed on my '90 base when I bought

it.  I found the OEM harness at a local car stereo shop.  Be careful, there

are two harnesses, one is used to plug an aftermarket radio into the

factory harness (probably most common), and the other is the replacement

for the factory harness in the dash. (the one you want)  I'm pretty sure

the connectors are the same for most Mazda cars.



Good luck,
