I have a KJ Verada

My interior light bulb blew a few days ago, so I picked up an 8W 12V globe from Mitsubishi spare parts. I went and put it in, and the light came on and went off while installing it......now some things don't work!

Central locking doesn't work.
Clock doesn't work
I need to set the computer everytime I turn the ignition on (Set Sedan and 3.5L)
Interior lights don't work.
But it starts and runs etc

What have I done?

Cheers
Andre

Open up the engine bay fuse panel and check the 2 fuses inside the funky yellow holder.

Check these threads. :D

I'd check all fuses inside the footwell. I'd say you've shorted it or spiked it. Was the light switched on as you were replacing? I dunno why so much is affected... resetting each time sounds like a capacitor or sumn aint keepin records.

Oh yeah... battery would have fuses closer to battery meaning more is affected... sounds like 2nd link.. goodwork!

The funky yellow fuse holder...how do I get it off without breaking it?

Good luck!! I slaughtered mine. lol

Long nose pliers should do the trick.

Always long nose pliers... wriggle back n forth lengthwise while pulling, carefull not to break

Dont panic mate, i did this EXACT thing to my tj, its something they call the IOD fuse, cost 18 bucks to fix at the local mitsu parts place, dunno if u can put them in urself but its cheap as neway, good luck

In the fuse box under the bonnet is a row of about 7 fuses.
There is a red 15amp fuse 2nd from the end closest to the middle.
That should be the one thats causing the problem. :D

Thanks for the help guys. It was the exact fuse described here....the 15A in the "Funky yellow holder". For future reference, it's easier as a two person job....

1) Get torch...because it's always night time when this stuff happens :confused:
2) Get two small electronics screw drivers
3) In the sweetest voice you can muster "Honey...can you help me out here in the cold for a second" ....wifes response something like :rant:
4) Use screw drivers to push tabs out on the fuse holder...pray...pull!!

It's all good now!

Cheers guys

I just use 2pr needle nose pliers to grab both fuses in the yellow holder
then yank them out together, yellow thing comes out with them no hassles.
