What's your problem?Lancer 2010 2l batery keep on running down 30 000km new batery down in 50 km

The most common cause for no crank is the neutral safety switch.
On automatic trans cars it keeps you from cranking the engine in drive or reverse. On manual trans cars you have to push the clutch in.
I would want to know if the starter is getting power from the key switch when the switch is in the start position.

you may need a new ECU or the BCM

check the fuses

thats about 50 km per galon sound about right i have a 1994 mercedes c180 and that does 32 miles to the gallon 300 cc not a lot difference so sould be doing around 35 to 38 mpg depending on how heavy footed he is

if battery keeps running down. check the voltage across the batery posts while car is off.should be around 12.5 to13 volts. then with tester hooked up to battery, start the car. if alternator is ok, it while read about 14 volts give or take a few volts. if the gharging is low its a bad alternator or the drive belt.

Could be either or, or it could be neither. Is the "red light" a transmission temperature warning light? If so, the fluid is over heating and the heat sensor is turning the light on...Check fluid level and the condition of your fluid...if it's off colored and smells burnt, you better have it flushed, refilled and a new filter installed. Heat will kill a transmission faster than anything.
Check the transmission cooler, most montero's had a cooler installed on the front of the vehicle by the radiator...the cooling fins need to be clean, no bugs or debris so air flows through it. Have your vehicle scanned also, if you had a transmission code the computers memory will probably still have it stored, this will be helpful with further diagnosis.

takes a long time to run the rediness test since there are 6 different tests to complete...

Sounds like your FANS aren't working correctly or you are low on coolant,or dirt in radiator or air blockage in the fins. You DO have at least a 50% antifreeze solution in there,right? don-ohio

Earlier i posted a question requesting how to switch off the service light on my Renault Clio, i have found an answer to thios, as follows.
How do you reset the service indicator light 2007 renault clio?

Turn on the ignition, but don't start the car. On the right stalk there is a toggle switch that hinges up and down, and is used for going through the different features of the display. When the display shows 'Service Due' press and hold the top part of this switch for 10 seconds until the dispaly resets and it shows 30,000km or whatever until next service.

all of the above is correct apart from pressing the toggle button. if you instead press the bottom toggle button for 10 seconds the display will start to flash. Keep button depressed and 5 seconds later the service counter will reset.
I know this works as i have just done it myself,
I hope this will help many others .

Easy way to check. Crank the vehicle while running remove one of the battery cables from the battery if the ingine dies your alternator is bad. I'll bet it is the alternator.
