2023 Mitsubishi Mirage Fuses and Fuse Box

The Fuse Box, an essential part that guarantees electrical safety and functionality, is located at the center of the 2023 Mitsubishi Mirage. This understated but crucial component is in charge of guarding the electrical systems in your car against overloads and short circuits. A network of fuses is stationed here, ready to cut the power in case of trouble, averting possible damage or fire risks.

Mitsubishi’s dedication to security and dependability is exemplified by the fuse box in the Mirage, which makes sure that every drive is hassle-free, secure, and seamless. It is the unsung hero working behind the scenes to make sure that all the electronic elements in your car, from the lights to the infotainment, work as they should.

Fuses

Fuse block location
To prevent damage to the electrical system from short-circuiting or overloading, each individual circuit is equipped with a fuse. The fuse blocks are located in the passenger com-partment and in the engine compartment.

Passenger compartment
The fuse block in the passenger compartment is located in front of the driver’s seat at the position shown in the illustration.

Engine compartment
In the engine compartment, the fuse block is located as shown in the illustration.
While pressing the tab (A or B), pull up the cover.

Fuse load capacities
This fuse list shows the names of the electrical systems and their fuse capacities.
There are spare fuses in the fuse block in the engine compartment. Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same capacity as the original.

Fuse replacement

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical item concerned to the fuse and turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position or put the operation mode in OFF.
2. There is a fuse remover (A) in the engine compartment fuse block.
3. Clamp it on the fuse you wish to remove, and pull the fuse straight out from the fuse block.
4. 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. Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
   • B- Fuse is OK
   • C- Blown fuse
5. 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.

Replacement of light bulbs
Before replacing the bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the oil from your skin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the bulb when it gets hot.

CAUTION

• Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being turned off.
  When replacing the bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before touching it. You could otherwise be burned.
• Handle halogen light bulb with care. The gas inside halogen light bulb is highly pressurized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching a halogen light bulb can cause it to shatter.
• Never hold the halogen light bulb with a bare hand, dirty glove, etc.
  The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlights are used.
  If the glass surface is dirty, clean it with alcohol and let it dry completely before installing the bulb.

CAUTION

• Do not install commercially available LED-type bulbs.
  Commercially available LED-type bulbs could adversely affect the operation of the vehicle, such as by preventing the lights and other vehicle equipment from operating properly.

NOTE

• If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required, it is recommended that these procedures be carried out by an autho-rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
• Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a light and lens.

NOTE

• When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the inside of the lens sometimes becomes temporarily foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid day, and does not indicate a func-tional problem.
• When the light is switched on, the heat will remove the fog. However, if water gathers inside the light, please have it checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

Bulb location and capacity

CAUTION

• When replacing a bulb, be sure to use a new bulb of the same type, wattage, and color. If you install a different bulb, the bulb could malfunction or fail to come on and could lead to a vehicle fire.
