I've figured out the basic mechanics of the suspension, but I haven't gone through the literature to start pulling wiring info. The car spends most of it's time hanging from a two post lift for now, so the bars aren't normally loaded. The components are different from the Yukon, but the troubleshooting methods carry over. For symptom X, you probably start with sensor Y controlling actuator Z. Do the sensor and controller have power, is there continuity in the line from the sensor to the actuator, are there any relays involved, etc.

A well set up Miata is a wonderful thing, especially somewhere like VIR or Mid-Ohio. Mine have provided...an abundance of opportunities to assess electrical and mechanical issues. My first one especially was not treated kindly under prior ownership.
