This is as a result of a short occurring most likely in the radio harness.It happened me while working on a customers car. In my case checked all fuses and they all appeared fine, both those under the hood/bonnet and those underneath the steering wheel.After studying the workshop electrical schemmatics for the car it appears that the clock, interior lights, central locking receiver and radio permanent live/battery are all on the one line.In effect damage had occurred after the internal fuse panel, therefore all fuses were ok and supplying power across them, but at some point after there was a break in the wire.However you DO NOT need to remove dash and or replace harnesses to rectify.Look at the fuse panel underneath the steering wheel. Slot 18 (bottom RHS) and you will see in raised plastic 'BACK UP'. Inserting a 10A fuse here will restore the interior lights, radio, clock and your central locking.There is a small plastic piece in the way which prevents a fuse going in. Simply use a thin pair of pliers, scissors or a screwdriver (or similar tool) to break this and all pieces of it away until you are able to insert the 10A mini blade fuse.Problem Sorted!(I believe the fact this back up exists is because the designers of electrical system at mitsibushi realised it had shortcomings or this would be a potential problem - and included the back up for such an occurence)Fearghus Quinn(7 years experienced auto electrician & owner of Car Audio company in Perth Western Australia)

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to category. The alarm and immobilizer needs to be reset. It is not as straightforward as normal. You may need an auto locksmith. https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+reset+mitsubishi+lancer+alarm ..

The transmission does not have a fuse, only a power-up relay located in the under hood fuse panel, near the front of the panel. If there is a problem with this relay, your transmission will reduce to fail safe mode only. Fail safe is the mechanical-only control which leaves you with Park, Reverse and 3rd gear only, provided there are no internal failures. What exactly is the problem you are having?

The fuel filter is located WITH the fuel pump AKA fuel module is what Mitsubishi calls this bundle, to access remove rear seats where you will find the cover to the assembly. The Fuel pump and Fuel Filter are intergrated to each other to save weight.

here is the wire diagram for your car this should fix your problem

The first step is to check the bulbs in the tail lights. The brake light switch (on the brake pedal) is OK, as the center light works.

hummm strange does the master switch have a other door lock button so central locking and windows dont work as they should driver side window motor faulty individual door lock actuator motors not getting power it is possible the central locking module wont work unless reset to the other cars electronics with the correct scanner

The first step is to see what error code(s) are present. I suspect that a sensor or two may have been left unplugged or the harness is damaged during the trans swap. Check for bent pins in the connectors.

either check the circuitry , will need workshop grade equipment and expertise , which is the preferred option , or just change the sensor and hope it's that and not in the circuit , no real short cuts with these electronic problems

get rid of the car while you can

u ave to service the gear box do grissing and oiling.then it is rouse.

Hey have you tried disconnecting and re connecting the battery? my mitsi carisma startd doing that so i rang up dealer and aparently they do it when the computer thinks there is something wrong with the engine, so it enters slow mode (or turtle mode or something) so that minimal damage is done while you drive it slowly to yr mechanic. Could be complettly wrong tho. Good luck.

how do i get my mitsubitshi cedia 2002 front left light out to get the moisture out

Hi it sounds like your high pressure pump needs replacing. the pump can be repaired but you will have to find someone who knows about it, i fix a lot of them before. there is a spring that pushes out the piston in the pump so it can compress the fuel that spring losses its ability to extract the piston back out. i have pictures of one if anyone wants to see

If you have the GDI model,they were designed to run on very lean air/fuel ratio.
Once the mileage is up a bit a lot of problems can be traced back to a high carbon build up in the intake manifold.

hello, did you get the service manual?

Here are instructions on how to remove a glove box on a Honda Accord: 1. Remove these items: Dashboard center lower cover and Passenger's dashboard lower cover. 2.
