Sounds like a short with that wire, I would follow it and see where it leads, or your interlock switch failed (black and red wire), or antitheft system failed or engaged it self (black and green wire). I am looking at an 86 RX7 diagram as well if it is a different year please post and I will get you the correct wire colors.

the car is an 86 i have bypassed the interlock switch and i have no anti theft system it is bypassed also

Did you check the circuit breaker relay?

db86na 12-02-2011 12:40 AM

theyy were fine didnt need reset

dabranco 12-02-2011 12:42 AM

Whats your volts when the switch is in the run position?

db86na 12-02-2011 12:45 AM

0 switch only has volts on the off position

Raksj04 12-02-2011 08:04 AM

where are you taking the reading at?

db86na 12-02-2011 10:38 AM

im am testin volts on the w/r wire on the back of the ignition switch its got 12v in the off position but is says .50v on acc and 0 on start

Raksj04 12-02-2011 10:42 AM

just for giggles meter at the battery and see what happens. If the volts drop way off you may have a short.

I still assert that you have a bad connection at either the battery or a ground. Check your voltage there when you try to start and at the main relay in the engine bay. I believe it's labeled XM-1 in the wiring diagram.

I thought I have metered my car at the switch before and have similar results but the car started. post a pic of where you are metering if you can.

dabranco 12-02-2011 01:26 PM

The only thing it can be at this point is crossed wire, failed relay(s), or a bad connection(s), or short(s).

db86na 12-04-2011 03:16 PM

ok so ive been tracing wires checking connections and grounds all are clean, i opend up the ignition switch that was told was working condition and it was rusted to hell so i orderd a brand new switch from mazda, how is it possible that all 4 ignition switches are bad and showing the same volts in the acc position and run position .

Whizbang 12-04-2011 06:13 PM

perhaps a design fault?

Raksj04 12-04-2011 06:16 PM

you could jump wires and see if that works
