PARTS INFORMATION

CAUTION:
Depending on the build date of the vehicle, parts interchangeability will vary. If the wrong replacement part is installed, the following symptoms and/or malfunctions may occur. Refer to the table below for applicable parts.

^ Replacement parts for the 1996 - 97 Miata can be used to correct concerns with the 1990 - 95 Miata; however, the antenna may momentarily go down during engine cranking. This symptom usually occurs in the 1996 - 97 Miata.

^ If replacement parts for the 1990 - 95 Miata are used in the 1996 - 97 Miata, the power antenna will not operate.

^ If replacement antenna relay parts are not available at the time of repair, older assemblies (0000-81-9300) can utilize the newer relay (N007-66-A3Y).
