Mitsubishi Montero (1998+). Manual — part 213

Montero

Remove foglight switch from instrument panel. Disconnect

switch connector. Using an ohmmeter, check switch continuity. With

switch in OFF position, continuity should exist between terminals No.

2 and 5. With switch in ON position, continuity should exist between

terminals No. 1 and 4, terminals No. 2 and 5, and terminals No. 3 and

6. See Fig. 32. If continuity is not as specified, replace switch.

3000GT

Remove foglight switch from instrument panel. Disconnect

switch connector. Using an ohmmeter, check switch continuity. With

switch in OFF position, continuity should exist between terminals No.

3 and 4. With switch in ON position, continuity should exist between

FOGLIGHT RELAY TEST

Remove relay from engine compartment fuse/relay box. Using an

ohmmeter, check relay continuity. With battery voltage not supplied to

relay, continuity should exist between terminals No. 1 and 3. With

positive battery terminal connected to relay terminal No. 1 and

negative battery terminal connected to relay terminal No. 3,

HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH TEST

Eclipse, Mirage & Montero Sport

Remove hazard light switch from instrument panel. Disconnect

switch connector. Using an ohmmeter, check switch continuity. With

switch in OFF position, continuity should exist between terminals No.

5 and 7, and between terminals No. 9 and 10. With switch in ON

position, continuity should exist between terminals No. 1, 2 and 4,

between terminals No. 5 and 6, and between terminals No. 9 and 10. See

Fig. 34. If continuity is not as specified, replace switch.

Galant

Remove hazard light switch from instrument panel. Disconnect

switch connector. Using an ohmmeter, check switch continuity. With

INSTRUMENT PANEL RHEOSTAT TEST

Remove driver-side knee protector. Remove rheostat from

instrument panel. Connect battery and 40-watt test light to rheostat.
