Mitsubishi Fuse Box Locations & Check Blown Fuses

⌂ » Vehicles » Mitsubishi » Outlander » 2012-2021

Posted onOct 16, 2020Oct 19, 2022 Updated onOct 19, 2022

Knowing the location of the fuse box is important to troubleshoot and diagnose a variety of symptoms by a simple check of fuses. We will also show how to check to see if a fuse is good, the most effective way is by using an ohmmeter, and another simple way is to do a visual check.

This guide provides instructions on locating the fuse box locations on a Mitsubishi. One fuse box is under the hood, and the other is under the dash.

Vehicle Applications

This applies to Mitsubishi Outlander model years: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and other models such as the Outlander Sport, Mirage, Lancer, Galant, and more.

Tools

  • Digital multimeter or ohmmeter
  • Fuse puller

Procedure

  1. Open the hood of the vehicle and use the hood prop to secure the open hood.
  2. Locate the fuse box under the hood. The fuse box is on the driver’s side, right behind the battery. You can remove the cover by pressing on the plastic tab in the front and pulling the cover off.
  3. The fuse box cover displays a diagram of all the fuses and relays in that fuse box. The diagram includes symbols that indicate the circuit in which the fuse is wired, the number of the fuse location, and the amperage rating of the fuse.
  4. Refer to the fuse section in the owner’s manual (or this guide) to decipher what each symbol and fuse location means. There are many symbols that are obvious what they control, such as the lights, horn, engine, a/c, etc., but some are ambiguous, and there are several fuses that control circuits for the same systems.
  5. If you suspect a fuse is bad, you can visually inspect it. Pull the fuse with a puller and look at the fuse to see if the metal conduit inside has been broken. If the metal filament is not intact, the fuse is blown, technically known as an open circuit.
  6. The most effective way to know one hundred percent if a fuse is good or bad is to test the continuity of the circuit. Use an ohmmeter or multimeter set to the ohm setting, take the leads and touch them to the top of the fuse blades where the metal is exposed without removing them from the fuse box circuit. The fuse is bad if an open loop still appears on the meter. The fuse is good (closed circuit) if resistance is measured and indicated by numbers on the meter.
  7. There are also relays under the fuse box. Troubleshooting steps for relays are different depending on what relay and circuit it is involved in. This can be a bit more complicated and involve a more in-depth knowledge of electrical systems.
  8. The other fuse box is located to the left of the steering wheel under the dash. The cover can easily be popped off by pulling it from the indention in the cover. Like the previous cover, this one also has a diagram inside the cover. Refer to the owner’s manual and our guide for each fuse location and the circuit it controls.

I have a bad fuse. What do I need to replace it with?

Always use the correct amperage fuse. A fuse with too high amperage can fail electrical parts/sensors. A low fuse will constantly blow and leave you stranded when any load is put on the system. Following the amperage indicated inside the fuse, box covers are very important. These are the manufacturer’s specifications.

Should I buy cheap fuses for my vehicle? Will they work?

It is important to buy quality fuses. Fuses not up to OEM standards can lead to electrical fires and complete electrical system failures. Make sure to read any reviews and check the company’s manufacturing standards meet OEM specifications.

We hope you find the Mitsubishi Fuse Box Locations & Check Blown Fuses guide helpful. Check these troubleshooting and repair guides for more help on your Mitsubishi.
