    I recently purchased an 08 speed3 and I was going to replace the downstream o2 sensor. When I got underneath the car the sensor is there but the wires are cut flush with the top of the sensor and I cant find the plug. To be honest this is my 1st mazda so Im not even sure where the plug comes from to look for it. But I looked pretty hard for it and I cant find it. Anyone have any ideas what may be going on?

    The plug for the secondary is on the top of the transmission below the intake/turbo/battery area. It should be a gray harness side plug with a gray sensor side plug, four wires, four pin plug. Pics in a moment

    Edit for picture reference:

    This is the o2 sensor and the plug side 20240420_165722.jpg

    This is where it plugs in

    From the driver side fender

    Get to fixing.

    Also, you should post in the new member area and introduce yourself, post some pictures of the car and your mods list. Others will like to see. Myself included.
