doesn't that suck i've been through 3 relay switches.........

do you have the fog lights (factory aftermarket) ... i think they are the problem... / the relay isn't rated high enough to cope with them.

thats funny cause im on my third one now as well, took it out the other day and this one has started to melt as well

so ive been thinknig im going to re-wire the system with a bigger relay and seperate switch and stuff the crappy stock switch!

im still using my stock 55 watt globes as well, so its one bloody crap switch.

im just looking into a nive switch that would look standard in the FTO interior and a good place to put it.

any ideas?

use the switch holder on the other side if its not in use... or down near your dimmer control...

i don't think the system was really designed to have the foggies, and that mitsubishi added them as a factory option as an afterthought without testing it properly....

only way to find out is to use the wiring diagrams but i don't have time right now to troll through them and work out which wire is which

where can i get the wiring diagram from?

nah the other switch is used for the antenna, and the other part your talking about is taken up by the alarm light.

so i guess i have to stick it somewhere else?

or look at the wiring diagram?
