Mitsubishi Repair: Electrical, three boxes, little cars


Question
My dash lights,my wipers and my speedometer dont work what do you think the problem(I already checked fuses and to see if everything is plugged in)

Answer
Josh: The speedometer works with a cable, so could be your has broken or it needs a cleaning. Which a shop would have to do for you. I would say the wipers and dash lights is most likely do to a relay and again a shop would have to find the problem and replace it for you also. Could also be a short which might take a bit more time to find and fix. Oh well look I don't know the year, make or model of car, all of these little cars are different. If you want to try to look for that relay, open the hood of your car, some cars have three boxes; look in the engine department; some cars one black box. There is either one black box over on the driver's side of the car. On its top should tell what relays and larger fuses are in it. Or some cars have three of those boxes one over on the driver's side of the car and two over by the battery. Either way, if you find a relay that is bad or larger fuse, remove the neg cable off the battery, replace the relay or fuse and then put the neg cable back on. Other wise you will blow the new part. Or take the car to the shop or dealership. God bless: Linda
