1998 MITSUBISHI MONTERO instrument cluster

Resistance Test (Montero Only)
Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between voltmeter
terminals. See Fig. 30. Resistance should be 380-460 ohms.

Voltage Test (3000GT Only)
Start engine, and let it idle. Connect voltmeter to battery.
Compare voltage reading of test voltmeter to voltage reading of
vehicle voltmeter. Voltage variation should not exceed 0.5 volt (plus
or minus). Replace instrument cluster voltmeter if voltage reading is
not as specified.
FOGLIGHT SWITCH TEST
NOTE: Montero Sport is not equipped with foglights.
Eclipse
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.
1 and 3. With switch in ON position, continuity should exist between
terminals No. 1 and 3, and between terminals No. 4 and 5. See Fig. 31.
If continuity is not as specified, replace switch.
Galant & Mirage
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.
1 and 2. With switch in ON position, continuity should exist between
terminals No. 1 and 2, terminals No. 3 and 4, and terminals No. 5 and
6. See Fig. 31. If continuity is not as specified, replace switch.

WARNING: Deactivate air bag system before performing any service
operation. See AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article. Do not
apply electrical power to any component on steering column
without first deactivating air bag system. Air bag may
deploy.
