Still having real issue with this, cant find the electrical connectors anywhere.
 
Is there someone thats done this that could take photos?
 
Or even someone who has got CC fitted from factory who could take a few photos?
 
Im even begining to wonder if mine has the wiring at al :3Confused

Hello Dan. Take a look near your brake master cylinder and you should see an electrical connector. That\'s where your motor plugs into. Next take the clocks out and you should see another connector on the left hand side for the switch. I\'ll get some pics up late. I deleted the original ones by mistake

Thanks robbie, like the mounting of the switches.

Did you fit the rest of the system yourself or was it on the car and you just relocated the switches?

I have looked for so long but cant find the connectors anywhere. Can you tell me where the wires come from so i can maybe trace them back?
For the servo there is a hole that goes into the wing, does it come from there?
For the ECU does it go under the carpet or up under the dash?
And im completely lost on the one for the wheel buttons!!

Thanks again.

What year is your car? Reason i ask is because as you know Ford owned a stake in mazda and maybe this is the case with later models, cutting costs and all that. This is apparent in the mazda 323F because later cars have less luxury features than the early models. Could possibly be the same situation with the Rx-7 by not fitting the extra wiring for the CC etc.  

It\'s a good job ford have now sold a 20% stake recently

If you can\'t find the 2 wire plug by the hole in the wing, i doubt you even have the wiring in your car which is a PITA! It should be right by that triangle shaped hole attached to the inside of the wing. The motor then has a very short lead plugging into it.

Ahhh so you can move the switches

Am i correct in saying that\'s the steering wheel button pack on the Trans Tunnel? Did you have to make a cover for them or is it as strait forward as screw it on and reroute your wiring?

Just a little bit of cutting of the center console, and the use of a metal bracket and thats all i did! It looks factory standard.
