How do you troubleshoot and fix a turn signal and emergency flasher problem on a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse?

I hope someone answers your question because I have the same car with the same problem.

I already had a connector it the car for trailer lights. It used to work & seems to still be working. But when Haul plugged in trailer lights to it, our turn signals stopped working. The connectors from the trailer were real ratty; I wouldn't be surprised if they hooked up something backwards. They also had to run a separate ground wire to get the lights on the trailer working. I think they had the turn signals working at some point when they were hooking it up.

Symptoms (all started when trailer hooked up):

  • Turn signals completely dead. No lights, no flashing, no turn indicator lights on dash board.
  • 4-way flasher also completely dead.
  • Alternator light on dash & brake warning light on dash both on.
  • Problem same whether trailer hooked up or not.

Things that still work:

  • Brake & parking lights work fine on car & trailer. I repaired the connections on the cable coming from the trailer and it seems to be wired correctly. I tested the trailer lights with a spare battery and they light when they should.
  • All fuses visually look good (both the ones next to driver & the ones under hood).
  • UHaul connector installed on car has built in indicator lights (wonderful feature!). Lights come on when they should for parking & brake. But they don't come on for turn signal, which is no surprise.

I can't find the flasher (if there is one). I can't find my owner's manual. I can't find any clues or fuse diagrams on the Web. (Google has a lot of strange Russian websites that don't have anything to do with the car-annoying.

Help!

Richard, did you ever find out a reason for this? I have exactly the same problem.

Possible solutionTry the hazard switch

this cuts out the supply to the indicators to prevent overloading the circuit

if the switch has gone faulty the indicators do not normally work.

How do you align the timing marks on a 1.8 Mitsubishi Eclipse engine?

on the cam there is a little dot that is machined in the cam gear. make sure that it is at top dead center( remember that the motor sits at a slight angle so it wont look like the very top by looking strait at it. you will have to take the crank pully off to see the mark on the crank gear. the mark is an indentation on the back of the pully. line that up with the little arrow next to the gear. after that is set put the belt on making sure that you don't move the gears. put your pully back on and use a timing light to set the timing at two degrees top side by looking at the marks on the timing belt cover next to the crank pully.

How do you change the rear spark plugs on a Mitsubishi Eclipse?

you have GOT to be talking about the third generation 3.0 liter v6. You have to remove the intake manifold. If you don't know what that is, it's that silver multi tube thing that is right in front of you when u pop the hood. If you don't know what u are doing, don't even attempt it. It SUCKS. take it to a garage, it will cost around 50 bucks or so, but it is way worth it. It's actually going to be 400+ dollars to do the spark plugs and wires from what I have heard.

If an Eclipse is emitting a lot of white smoke when driving that smells foul but the car runs fine other than the smoking what could be the problem and would it have anything to do with the turbo?

If the turbo is intercooled it may have a blown seal allowing coolant to pass into the intake flow. White smoke is usually an indication of a blown head gasket. Stop driving the car immediately until this is looked into. Serious engine damage will occur if th head gasket is blown. if is not the head gasket you are in for a cracked block or cylinder head $$$$$$ A blown seal in the turbo is a possibility. you could just be running to lean i blew white smoke when i used racing octane gas. also when i used octane booster of fuel injector cleaners. if it is consistent, probably head gasket.
