Fuses
Fuse block location
To prevent damage to the electrical system from short-circuit- ing or overloading, each individual circuit is equipped with a fuse. The fuse blocks are located in the passenger compartment and in the engine compartment.
Passenger compartment
The fuse block in the passenger compartment is located in front of the driver’s seat at the position shown in the illustration.
Engine compartment
In the engine compartment, the fuse block is located as shown in the illustration.
A- Type A B- Type B (ECLIPSE SPYDER only) C- Type C (2.4 liter models only)
Vehicle care and maintenance
Type A
1. Push the lock lever. 2. Remove the fuse block cover.
WARNING! ● Do not touch the electronic control module (D). The
module surface can be too hot. Wait for the electronic control module to cool down before replacing a fuse.
Vehicle care and maintenance
Type B (ECLIPSE SPYDER only)
1. Pull the lock lever. 2. Open the cover.
Fuse load capacities
This fuse list shows the names of the electrical systems and their fuse capacities. There are spare fuses in the cover of the instrument panel (driver’s side). Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same capacity as the original.

Vehicle care and maintenance
● Some fuses may not be installed on your vehicle, depend- ing on the vehicle model or specifications.
● The table above shows the main equipment corresponding to each fuse. The fuse block does not contain spare 7.5 A, 10 A and 15 A fuses. If a fuse of one of these capacities blows, replace it temporarily by borrowing the one that matches from: 7.5 A: Door mirror heater 10 A: Dome light (in engine compartment) 15 A: Power outlet
Replace the borrowed fuse as soon as possible.

Vehicle care and maintenance
Fuse replacement
1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical item connected to the fuse and turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position.
2. There is a fuse puller in the cover of the instrument panel (driver’s side).
3. Remove the fuse puller from the cover.
4. Clamp it on the fuse you wish to remove, and pull the fuse straight out from the fuse block.
Vehicle care and maintenance
5. Use the fuse location diagrams and the matching tables, to check the fuse that is related to the problem. If the fuse is not blown, something else must be causing the problem. Contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to have the problem checked.
6. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity securely into the appropriate slot.
A- Fuse is OK B- Blown fuse
CAUTION! ● Never use a fuse with a capacity greater than the one
listed or any substitute, such as wire, foil etc. This would cause the circuit wiring to heat up and could cause a fire.
● If the replacement fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical system checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to find and correct the cause.
