Fuses and relays Mitsubishi Lancer 10 (CY), 2007 - 2016

In the event of a vehicle electrical equipment failure, it is first necessary to check the fuses that service this equipment.

Fuses and fuses in Mitsubishi 1 (from 2008) are located in three zones:

• under the tidy;
• in the engine compartment;
• to battery + terminal.

The covers have pictograms and fuse labels. They can be done in different languages.

Replacement of faulty fuses is carried out using special tweezers.

General recommendations for troubleshooting faults related to blown fuses

1. If several Lancer 10 electrical equipment systems fail, then most likely one of the fuses installed on the positive terminal of the battery or in the engine compartment unit has failed.
2. If the engine fails to start, the fuses labeled ECU should be checked.
3. Checking the fuses should be done with a multimeter turned on in the “dial” mode (buzzer). The fuse must be removed from its original location. The visual inspection method should not be trusted. As a last resort, you can swap fuses of the same color (value). You cannot remove several fuses for testing at the same time.

It is allowed to increase the value of the cigarette lighter fuse when powering auto gadgets to 25 Amperes.

The cigarette lighter does not work on Lancer 9, 10: how to remove and replace

For modern car enthusiasts, this device has much more functionality than the name suggests. After all, many devices are connected to the cigarette lighter socket. The most common:

• charger or power bank for mobile phones, tablets or other electronic devices;
• a navigator showing the way through city traffic jams;
• DVR recording traffic conditions;
• fan;
• compressor for inflating wheels.

Therefore, when the Lancer 9 cigarette lighter stops working and needs to be replaced, this is unpleasant news. Making repairs yourself is not difficult. You can learn from this material how to find out the cause of the malfunction, check weak points, and repair the device.

Why does the Lancer 9 cigarette lighter not work?

The device is located on the front panel of the car. The operating principle of the Mitsubishi cigarette lighter is simple. Inside the metal cartridge there is a nichrome thread, which heats up when the contacts close. When you press the cigarette lighter button, the contacts automatically close and the coil begins to heat up. When the maximum temperature is reached, the thermal relay gives a command to release the cartridge.

Over time, the device may break down and the fuse will trip. The Mitsubishi model 10 or 9 cigarette lighter does not work due to various reasons. Main sources of malfunction.

1. Blown fuse. Especially for network safety, there is a safety element that burns out when the current exceeds 15 amperes. If one or more powerful devices are connected to the cigarette lighter socket, the current rating exceeds the resistance of the fuse, causing it to blow. This can be solved by replacing the element with a new one.
2. The cigarette lighter may stop working due to poor cartridge contact or the appearance of oxides. Over time, the nest becomes loose, and rust or oxides appear on the antennae. Repairing such a device is simple - just remove the cigarette lighter, bend the contacts, and process them with a file or sandpaper for better contact.
3. Broken wire or short circuit. If the fuses burn frequently or the cigarette lighter does not work completely, then you should look for an open circuit. To do this, you will need a multitester, which must be set to resistance and check the integrity of each wire connected to the cigarette lighter.
4. Burnt out backlight bulb. There is a special lighting ring around the cigarette lighter. The lamp inside may burn out. It must be replaced with a new element. In the event of a breakdown, you should check fuse number 21 in the block located under the hood of the car. He is responsible for lighting the device.

Cigarette lighter fuse Mitsubishi Lancer 9

If the device fails, this element should be checked. The Mitsubishi Lancer 9 mounting block is located in the cabin on the left side of the steering column. There is a drawer for small items here.

1. We open the cover and then remove it, overcoming the resistance of the latches.
2. On the back cover of the box there are tweezers to make it easier to pull out fuses, as well as two spare elements rated 20/30 amps.
3. We are interested in element number 22 (see photo). It is he who is responsible for the car's cigarette lighter.
4. To restore the device's functionality, it is necessary to replace the blown fuse with a new one. It is prohibited to install coins or metal jumpers. Fuses with a rating greater than 15 amps are not suitable. This may result in a short circuit or fire.

Wiring and terminals

If the fuse is intact, then the cause of the malfunction is elsewhere. To repair the Lancer 9 cigarette lighter, you will need to test the integrity of the wiring. To do this, you need to get a multitester and remember the pinout of the device. In total, three wires come to the device - two positive and one negative.

1. Red, positive – connected to the battery. The circuit current is no more than 15 amperes, and if this parameter is exceeded, the fuse blows.
2. Yellow. The positive wire is responsible for the backlight bulb.
3. Black, minus. It comes to the body of the device, and the other end is a mass powered through the body of the car.

Lancer 9 cigarette lighter repair

Sometimes replacement is not necessary. In some situations, you can carry out repairs yourself. Inside the car cigarette lighter itself there is a small mica plate. This is a semiconductor that often fails. It needs to be removed.

After this, it is worth assembling the device and then checking its serviceability. Often you just need to treat oxidized contacts or solder fallen wires.

How to remove the cigarette lighter on a Lancer

Before removing the device, you should stock up on the necessary tools. During the work you will need:

• minus screwdriver;
• protective gloves;
• wire cutters;
• soldering iron and solder (in case of broken wires);
• multitester;
• insulating tape.

The process of removing the cigarette lighter is as follows.

1. Open the hood and remove the negative terminal from the battery. This will help avoid short circuits during work.
2. We take out the ashtray located near the cigarette lighter from its seats.
3. We disconnect the gear shift lever, gaining access to the trim.
4. We lift it, and then disconnect the contact chip from the cigarette lighter itself.
5. Turn the overlay over. Under it there is a 7 nut that secures two plates. Unscrew it and remove the plates.
6. We disconnect the tin wire, unbend the contacts and pull out the old wire.
7. Now the device is completely disassembled and you can repair or replace the cigarette lighter. Assembly is carried out in the reverse order to that described.

The process of replacing the cigarette lighter on a Mitsubishi Lancer 9

Options from different companies are available for sale. If repairing the cigarette lighter is impractical, it can be replaced with a new device. The price of the device for lancer x and other models is 500 – 1000 rubles, depending on the company or country of manufacture.

If you need to replace the cigarette lighter on Lancer 9, when choosing, you should avoid spare parts that are too cheap. Most likely, low-quality materials were used in their manufacture, so such a part will not last long.

It is best to choose original cigarette lighters. The part must be carefully packaged, and inside there is a certificate of conformity src=»https://nissan-modus.ru/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/b77d925185aca0856198c5fc6ae33291.jpg» class=»aligncenter» width=»600″ height= "426″[/img]

Removing the cigarette lighter Lancer 10

On next-generation cars, repairs are carried out differently. The set of tools remains the same. In order to remove the cigarette lighter on the Lancer 10 model, you need to follow the steps.

1. Open the hood and remove the negative terminal from the battery. This will help avoid short circuits during work.
2. We unscrew the two bolts securing the trim located directly in the front armrest.
3. We pull the trim up, gaining access to the button for turning on the seat heating.
4. We disconnect it, and then easily remove the plastic lining of the center console.
5. Unscrew the two screws near the gearbox lever.
6. We take out the Lancer cigarette lighter block.
7. Disconnect the contact chip.
8. Now you can remove and repair the cigarette lighter itself.
9. Reassembling the device is carried out in reverse order.

Sometimes it is possible to repair a Lancer device directly on site, with your own hands. To do this, you need to examine the back of the device. Often the wire coming into the structure burns out and the fuse trips.

“Swelling” of the insulation will help detect this malfunction. Using a key, we disassemble the back part, remove the burnt wires and insert a new copper wire into the holes.

Then we assemble the part in the reverse order and diagnose its serviceability.

Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located?

The location of the mounting block on the model is identical to the design of its predecessor. To the left of the steering column there is a compartment for small items, the lid of which must be opened and then pulled out, overcoming the resistance of the latches.

On the inside of the cover there are special tweezers that will help you remove the fuse, as well as a diagram of the location of the protective elements. We are interested in the 13th fuse.

It is responsible for the car cigarette lighter itself and the 12-volt power outlet. A faulty fuse should be replaced with a new one rated 15 amps.

Installing a part with a high value may result in a short circuit or fire.

Technical characteristics of Mitsubishi Lancer

As for the technical characteristics of 10th generation Lancer gasoline engines. In our country, the manufacturer offers a 1.6-liter inline 4-cylinder, 16-valve unit with a power of 117 hp as the base engine. The maximum torque is 154 Nm, which is not small. Transmission options in combination with this engine include a 4-speed automatic transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission. Acceleration to the first hundred with an automatic and manual transmission is 10.8 and 14.1 seconds, respectively. Maximum speed 190 (manual transmission) and 180 (automatic transmission) km/h. As for average fuel consumption, the manufacturer indicates 6.1 liters for manuals and 7.1 for automatics.

The more powerful Mitsubishi Lancer X engine with a displacement of 1.8 liters is the same in-line 4-cylinder, 16-valve petrol engine with proprietary MIVEC injection. This unit already produces 140 hp. at 178 Nm of torque. Everything is combined with the same 5-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable CVT transmission. Dynamic characteristics with a manual transmission are not much better; acceleration to a stop occurs in 10 seconds, versus 10.8 seconds. with 1.6 l engine. However, the maximum speed is already 202 km/h. As for fuel consumption, it is noticeably higher than that of the base engine and amounts to 7.5 liters in the combined cycle. The CVT variator also does not spoil the economy with the 1.8 engine. The Lancer consumes 7.8 liters in mixed mode, and in the city in general almost 11 liters. If you consider that in practice the consumption will be even higher, then it’s worth considering whether you need such a motor under the hood.

By the way, the 10th generation Lancer power units consume only AI-95 gasoline as fuel. Below are detailed overall dimensions of the Mitsubishi Lancer

, ground clearance, weight, volumes and other useful technical information about the sedan.

Changing the fuel filter in Mitsubishi Lancer

Often, many car enthusiasts forget to replace the fuel filter on time. This can lead to various malfunctions in the fuel system, and subsequently to interruptions in engine operation and its complete stop.

According to instructions from the Mitsubishi car manufacturer, the fuel filter for Lancer 9, Lancer 10 and Lancer X should be replaced after 120 thousand kilometers. However, there is one significant point that darkens this rosy picture completely - this is the low quality of our fuel.

Much to our chagrin, in our country not a single person is immune from gasoline with various impurities, dirt, metal particles, squeaks and other elements that can harm various systems of your car.

According to Russian standards, the allowed content of impurities in fuel is from 100 to 450 grams per 1 ton.

However, research work has demonstrated that over 5 thousand kilometers, the filter has the ability to accumulate about 50 grams of dirt. In accordance with this, replacement must be carried out much earlier than the mileage of your car approaches 120 thousand kilometers. The main signs with the appearance of which it is necessary to replace the Lancer fuel barrier (9,10, X):

• the engine does not start the first time;
• the car's power has decreased;
• in case of sudden acceleration, the engine stalls;
• uneven operation at idle.

But here you need to be careful, since the fuel pump and the dirty air filter of your Lancer may show similar signs. If you notice that fuel consumption has increased and black smoke is coming out of the exhaust pipe, this means that the air filter is faulty.

In all other cases, the issue will be in the fuel filter. To change it, you must first purchase it. Here a lot depends on the state of your finances, since the official filter is very expensive.

But you shouldn’t be upset and you can get by just fine by purchasing a Chinese-made part, which is almost ten times cheaper.

New fuel filter

In order to save on filter replacement services, this work can be done independently. If you carefully read the instructions, it will take you no more than 30 minutes. Let’s say right away that the work on replacing the fuel purification barrier for the Lancer 9, Lancer 10 and Lancer X models is almost identical, so let’s look at everything using one example.

Before starting work, it is necessary to reduce the pressure in the system in advance. To do this, you need to stop the engine and let the car sit for several hours. This is in principle optional, but it won’t be superfluous. It is better when there is as little gasoline in the tank as possible, and ideally no more than a quarter. The car must be set to the handbrake and set to neutral speed.

Design and principle of operation

To find the reason why the cigarette lighter does not work, you need to understand its structure and principle of operation. The small device is made in a plastic case, inside of which there is a metal spiral. The functions of the heating element are performed by nichrome or other material with increased resistivity. The product is connected to the corresponding socket on the dashboard, and the positive contact is connected to the heater.

When heated, the nichrome spiral turns red. The system is equipped with a thermal relay that turns off the power supply when the permissible temperature threshold is exceeded.

The cigarette lighter socket is illuminated, so finding it in poor lighting conditions is quite easy. There is also a 10 A fuse in the socket.

Before turning to specialists with the question of why the cigarette lighter stopped working, you should consider the main reasons for this incident.

Causes of the problem

The fuel system is a very “sensitive” element of a car, akin to the human circulatory system, consisting of many parts designed to ensure a reliable and timely supply of fuel to the car’s engine. And if any even minor problems arise, a whole series of malfunctions can occur that can cause a lot of trouble to the car owner.

The most common reason is poor quality fuel. Yes, it is this that can most quickly damage the fuel system. Low-quality fuel contains a large number of harmful additives.

Very often, unscrupulous fuel suppliers use low-quality gasoline, for example, AI-92 class, add harmful additives to it and sell it as AI-95. The additives contained in this fuel are detrimental to the fuel system. The injectors, fuel pump and filter wear out much faster than they should.

Another reason for poor fuel system performance is dirt (sand suspension, etc.) getting into the fuel tank. Large objects cannot get there due to a specially installed filter, but small ones can easily.

Payment via Yandex Cashier

After selecting payment via Yandex, the Yandex Cashier payment system will launch, where you need to select a convenient payment method (bank card, QIWI, Yandex Money account, etc.)

After specifying payment details and confirming payment, payment for the goods will occur.

If you have a bank card in a currency other than the ruble, then the money will be debited from the card at the rate of the Central Bank of Russia at the time of the purchase.

This payment method is optimal for residents of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus.

Design

The appearance of the car really turned out to be bright. And if the “nine” was boring in many ways, then this generation will not leave anyone indifferent. The car looks good primarily due to its shark silhouette and wide radiator grille. In the new generation, the Japanese have redesigned almost all parts of the body. Thus, the optics, hood, geometry of the bumper, rear lights and even the side line were changed. Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is not at all similar to its predecessor. The car comes standard with 16-inch spoked wheels. But many people do tuning. Mitsubishi Lancer 10 looks great with wheels from Evolution, as well as various plastic body kits. And although the car comes from the factory with decorative overlays, the owners glue an additional “lip” to the bumper (a la the budget “Evik”). This gives the car even more aggression and sportiness. Unlike the Nine, the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is very easy to tune. It is impossible to go unnoticed with this car. The Japanese created too vivid an image.

A distinctive feature of the tenth generation is the high spoiler on the trunk lid. But it is not available in all trim levels. With it, the image of the car is more harmonious and complete. Spoilers from the sports version of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution also fit here.

What do owner reviews say about the body and paintwork of the Japanese car Mitsubishi Lancer 10? The metal on this sedan is thinner than on the Nine. However, rust does not form for a long time. Over five to seven years of operation, barely noticeable “spiders” may appear in the trunk lid area. And that’s because it’s constantly humid in this place. But the paintwork leaves much to be desired. The front gets chipped quickly. Yes, the metal does not rust. But who needs a car with such paint flaws? Therefore, it makes sense to “roll up” the car in transparent armored film, at least from the front. This way you can really preserve the original appearance of the paintwork.
