Where is the starter for 1989 Mazda MX6?

located on the middle backside of the motor its more towards the drivers side follow the black laced wire harness around and it will bring you to it only one 8 or 10 mm bolt on the inner side and a easy to remove clip on the bottom think its the negative wire just depress the tab and pull off. please dont waste money on some dude to do it, just take 5 min and find it get anything in your way outta the way and you can accomplish replacing it in about 5-10min.

First, disconnect the Negative battery terminal. It's a real knuckle banger, located under the intake manifold. Access it from the top (unless you have a lift). One bolt on the drivers side and another bolt accessed from the passenger side. It would help to remove the oil filter, but with enough jiggling, you can get it freed up. Now, carefully pull off the small starter wire by grabbing the plastic portion and gently rock back and forth until it slips off. Then, lift back the plastic cover over the nut that attaches the main battery cable. Loosen the nut and remove the cable without dropping the nut and washer. Now, fish the starter out between the hoses and viola, you're done! Took me 30 minutes to remove it, bit only 10-minutes to put it back in.
