In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Mitsubishi Lancer (Evolution / Ralliart / Sportback / SE AWC) (models 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014), including diagrams of the fuse boxes, a list of fuses, their designation, and the location of the fuse blocks within the vehicle.
Checking and Replacing Fuses in Mitsubishi Lancer
To prevent damage to the electrical system from short-circuiting or overloading, each individual circuit is equipped with a fuse. The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if a large current attempts to flow through certain electrical systems. The fuse blocks are located in the passenger compartment and in the engine compartment.
- Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical item connected to the fuse and turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position.
- There is a fuse puller (A) in the engine compartment fuse block.
- Clamp it on the fuse you wish to remove, and pull the fuse straight out from the fuse block.
- 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.
- Insert a new fuse of the same capacity securely into the appropriate slot.
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.
Location of Fuse Boxes
Passenger Compartment Fuse Block:
The fuse blocks in the passenger compartment are located behind the fuse lid on the driver’s side as shown.
- Open the fuse lid and pull to remove it.
- To put back the fuse lid, line up the fuse lid hook (B) with the clamp (C) on the instrument panel and push the lid back in.
- For vehicles with the bottom cover, use the puller to loosen the 2 clips (A) and push down the bottom cover.
When changing fuses, do not damage the driver’s knee airbag harness or accidentally strike the airbag area with hard objects. Improper work methods could result in an accidental driver’s knee airbag deployment or could make the driver’s knee airbag inoperable.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block:
In the engine compartment, the fuse block is located as shown in the illustration.
- Push the lock lever.
- Remove the fuse block cover.
