2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse Questions & Answers
Radio code cant be put in due to broke button
No way around it the second digit must be entered with the second button, though a specialist might be able to remove the need for a code altogether at a price. Such guys used to be more common and cheaper than they are now.
If the button has dropped out leaving a hole in the front panel it might be possible to use something like a toothpick to push the small button on the circuit board that is behind the front panel...
My instrument cluster doesn't light
If you can remove the cluster ... light bulbs are fitted to sockets that rotate out of the cluster. A blown bulb usually has smoked glass from the blowout depositing metal on the inside of the bulb.
Try moving a working bulb to the speedo and tachometer, and of course replacing any blown bulbs with the same from a parts store.
If using a new bulb does not work in the speedo/tach, look for a blown fuse in the fuse panel. Look at the two(?) female cluster connectors on the back: remove any green corrosion/dirt with WD40.
If you have a multimeter, trace the speedo/tach circuits from the cluster connectors to the bulbs and hence to ground. There could be a crack in the flex circuit.
If the problem persists, there's a more problematic issue in the wiring harness.
I have a 2000 eclipse
even if you missed a plug, it should at least turn over. should not be reason why it won't start. check the fuse panels for bad fuses under dash and under hood. its possible you shorted it out when installing the harness. .good luck.... Mike
Security system on 2000 eclispe GT
Use the KEY (not the REMOTE) to UNlock the driver's door or the trunk. Then use the key to START the car, then shut it off. Finally, get out and LOCK the car using the mechanical KEY. That should clear the security system codes caused by disconnecting the battery!
I am having problems with my 2000 Mitsubishi
Those can both be safety hazards and should be fixed as soon as possible. Not only will a broken filler tube let gas out but it can let other stuff in, possibly causing other issues. And spilling gas/fumes is a fire hazard. The throttle cable sticking could cause an accident. I've changed one for the same problem on an older Honda Accord. It was a little aggravating but not too difficult for anyone mechanically inclined. The gas filler tube may be a little more involved depending on how it's fitted in the car.
