Yes, down the steering column, the wiring harnesses do run down there. The wiper stalk is not a "module', its another switch assembly, that is bolted together with the MFS assembly.

The wiring for both is 2 separate cable assemblies.

The problem with the multi-function switch is that too much amperage runs through all the switch contacts. Too much, that is, for the cheap parts, (contacts and plastic parts). to withstand the heat build up.

I remember MX-5's write up and pictures, and agree with it all. But for anyone to say that the wiper stalk/switch assembly is part of and must be changed with, the MFS, is wrong. I know, I've done it twice, and put back the separate, wiper stalk/switch assembly both times.

The 4-way blinker relay is a plastic module that plugs into the MFS assembly. That must be unplugged off the old one and re-plugged into the new MFS, when it its installed.
