1998 MITSUBISHI MONTERO fog light

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
terminals No. 1 and 5. See Fig. 34. If continuity is not as specified,
replace switch.

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,
continuity should exist between terminals No. 4 and 5. See Fig. 33. If

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

position, continuity should exist between terminals No. 1-4, between
terminals No. 5 and 6, and between terminals No. 9 and 10. See Fig. 34
. If continuity is not as specified, replace switch.
