Electric choke wire plugs in right there. The bolt isn't used on mine.

Yes. I believe the wire is yellow, or yellow with a black stripe.

This is not the factory connector.

Update, got new battery and alternator all hooked up
Fired right up

Checked the draw and started pulling fuses, apparently my draw is off the "room" fuse
Trying to find what all runs off of that fuse

Thanks for all the help guys

Also sharing the same fuse as the dome light are:

digital clock display
audio system
warning buzzer?

radio has been unplugged and replugged and draw is exactly the same
the clock thing(if its the one on cluster) it doesnt work
cigarette lighter isnt plugged in
never heard any kind of buzzer in truck
checked draw with and without dimmer switch, door sensors, and dome light and no difference..
according to a post i seen on mazdatrucking, the .01 is where it should be
if so, then i am good, if not, i need to start over i guess


anyone know if that amp draw is normal?

.01 is nothing. You're fine.
