If you have the owner's manual to you vehicle, its location will be diagrammed in it; otherwise, in absence of your owner's manual, contact the parts department of your local Mitsubishi dealer (or any auto parts store) and they'll tell you its location. Sometimes you may be able to get a copy of the fuse box diagram from the dealership's parts department. Bring the counter-person a coffee to show your appreciation for the freebie!

1999 Mitsubishi Mirage- Bogging down when flooring the accelerator?
Hi there,Your vehicle incorporates an on-board diagnostic (OBD) computer, which monitors behaviour of your vehicle's engine and ommission related cicruits.This sounds like an electrical issue (I suspect perhaps your Throttle Position Sensor - TPS, or similar circuit). Your OBD computer will have stored the appropriate code/s causing this condition. Have your codes read by an approved Mitsubishi Agent, who will then be able to advise what will be required to fix this issue.Having your codes read should ALWAYS be the first step, as this will save you $'s and time, elimination the need to purchase unnecessary parts.Hope this helps,ScottPS: if this advice has helped you in any way, please rate this solution
