How do you replace water pump on Montero 3.0?
You have to pull the front of the engine apart.
It is a VERY big job and possibly too difficult for your average owner to complete.
The water-pump mounts directly to the front of the cast iron engine block (behind all the belts and aluminum shrouding). You have to R&R the intake manifold, cooling shroud, radiator, alternator, p/s pump, A/C compressor, timing belts and tensioning and idler pulleys etc to get down to it.
If you do decide to attempt this yourself do NOT cheap out... replace the timing belt(s) and BOTH halves of the water pump while you are in there.
Be sure to get a digital camera and take lots of pictures as you take it apart to help you see where all of the things go putting it back together.
Best of luck with this one.
Firstly, go purchase a cheap digital multimeter (from radio shack or harbor freight, starting at about $5 ). Put the meter in dc volt mode, 12 volts (or more) range. Hold the black meter probe on a metal body/engine ground-point and probe the wire in question with the red probe while the circuit is powered on.
If the wire has 12v + power on it you will get a volt reading. If the wire is open or has ground on it then there will be no 12volt reading.
Next, if there was no reading, repeat the test with the red probe attached onto the cars battery at the PLUS terminal (+), then probe the wire in question with the black probe (with the circuit powered up). If there is a 12volt reading then that wire has ground on it, no response means an open wire or the wire has B+ power on it.
Your electical system should be safe if you use a digital volt meter for this operation.
WARNING! Use the info following at your own risk! Improper use of a testlight can DESTROY your controller circuits!
If the circuit under test is a high power circuit (enough amperage normally goes thru the wire in question to light up a 12 volt lightbulb or headlight for instance) then a digital voltmeter CAN give a false indication of 12 volt power as that type of meter draws virtually no power to speak of. In other words, the meter can indicate power but a high resistance connection in the circuit could still prevent enough current flow to light up a bulb.
You can test this type of circuit with a load generating tester know as a 12 volt testlight. Here is where the danger lies; If in fact you are probing into a digital control circuit with a testlight (instead of the power circuit you thought you were working on) you will short it out and most likely destroy the solidstate control mechanism.
You can test for ground by clipping the testlight cord to B+ befor probing the wires or you can test for power by clipping the testlight cord to ground befor probing a powered on circuit. You can also test a bulb by grounding one contact and probing another with a testlight clipped to B+, if the testlight comes on at all no matter how dimly then the bulb filament connected to the terminal you probed is good.
To determine the highbeam wire unplug the connector from the headlight and probe the connections carefully for B+ with the circuit powered up. The one that has power only when the high beams are turned on (blue light on dashboard lit up) is for the highbeams. The one with no power ever is the ground and the other is for the lowbeams.
without being too confusing.

How do you get to neutral safety switch on 98 Montero?
where is neutral safety located on 98 mitsubishi montero
The human eyes contains liquid that protects it from ultraviolet and infrared rays as well as particles that may enter it.
The blinking allows for the spreading of this liquid so that the eyes do not dry out.
At the same time, it may allow for disposal of particles that may have entered the eye.

Where is lighter fuse 98 montero?
The lighter fuse for a 1998 Mitsubishi Montero is typically located in the fuse box under the dashboard on the driver's side. You may also find a second fuse box under the hood. To identify the correct fuse, refer to the fuse diagram usually found on the cover of the fuse box or in the owner's manual. If the fuse is blown, replacing it should restore power to the lighter.
How many km between oil change?
The first step would be to ring a dealer or servicing specialist for your vehicle make (i.e Toyota, Audi etc) and qoute what make, model and year your car is.
Your car's oil change requirements may be very specific and require more frequent oil changes, or your car may only require spaced intervals between oil changes and this would allow you to waste money on un-needed oil changes.
Your car may have a service manual in the glove box or boot that will have very specific or recommended servicing times, although these are sometimes lost.
It is most advisable to try to obtain as accurate servicing information for your specific car as you can, as prolonged oil changes can cause your car serious damage.
As a rule of thumb, the average driver drives around 10,000 to 14,000km per year. The average oil change is about every 5,000km. So this is roughly every 5,000km or every 6 months, which ever comes first!
Alongside an oil change, the oil filter MUST be changed as well, no exceptions. Always ask your mechanic what a standard " Car Service" should include.
A basic "Car Service" should contain the following, although some mechanics may do more or less.
Check and change oil and oil filter.
Check air filter and change if necessary.
Check transmission fluid level.
Check coolant level and top up if necessary.
Grease and lubricate suspension and steering joints where and as fitted.
Check fuel filter and change if necessary.
Check brake fluid and change if necessary.
Check clutch fluid and top up if necessary.
Check power steering fluids and top up if necessary.
Check condition of brake pads for wear.
Generally check car for smooth operation of engine, transmission, hand and foot braking systems, cockpit controls, all lights/warning signals.
Notice some of these items are only checked and not changed. Some of these items are changed, not checked and it really depends on your mechanics idea of a standard cost "Car Servicing". Always ask specifically what their procedures are, if any fail yo be polite or obliging to your questions or fail to give you specific answers, just find another one. Always be polite though, you may need them if other ones are worse!
They should flash for a few seconds then come on permanently while in 4x4 if they continue to flash open the hood/bonnet and just behind the air filter you will see two small solenoids with vacuum pipes attached,make sure there is no leaking pipes as I cured mine yesterday with the same fault when one of the pipes had come loose and burned through on the turbo.

Error code 3 on a Mitsubishi CD player means that the track is out of line. It is possible that a CD broke inside the player that caused the track to jam up. Either way, the CD player will have to be replaced.
How do you remove powered antenna mast from Mitsubishi Eclipse?
I removed the entire power antenna assembly and could not find any way possible to separate the mast from the motor assembly. Odd, since Mitsubishi sold me an antenna mast.
How do you program a key chip for a Mitsubishi outlander?
If you have a key that is already programmed to your Outlander, use that key first. Place it in the ignition and turn to the "on" position five times. A light should come on your dash (looks like a car with a key inside). Once that light comes on, turn to the off position, remove your first key the place the "new" or unregistered key in the ignition and turn to the "On" position (not start). This should program your key to your Outlander.
You have to put in more than 10 Gallons of Gas to get the system to reset and reestimate the miles to empty status. Since you have a full tank, either you have some bad circuit or sensor (call a dealer), or I would run it completely down near empty, and then put in 10 or more gallons and see if it resets. Perhaps it has gotten confused.
Where is the O2 sensor on a Mitsubishi Montero Sport?
There are 2 sensors on the upstream manifold before catalytic converter, left and right (make sure you get the one you need, left and right are different), the other two are located underneath your truck after the converter, but is usually the upstream sensors that needs to be replaced the most, like when you get an OBD code "bank1 or bank2"
How do you replace the power antenna on a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Ltd?
I am also trying to change my antenna on a Montero Limited 02 and found a antenna on EBAY but you have to replace everything. BUT a Better Idea is the one I found on WWW.CARSTEREOHELP.COM On this site, they say it is possible to change out the antenna whip only. This is the weekend, but I plan to pursue this option on Monday. I'll use my $30.00 antenna on some other car!

How does one change the headlamp bulb in a Mitsubishi Montero?
leopen hood of vehicle. The headlamp is in a case that comes out. Headlamp screws in and out of it. Replace, and then put case back in. - Or stop at Auto Store, play dumb and have them do it for you (that's how I found out!
)
usually a problem in the emission control system - have vehicle scanned to determine the problem

Where should the timing marks on a Mitsubishi montero with a 3.0 sohc point?
The pin in the auto-tensioner slid right out with no resistance. I also measured the auto-tensioner piston runout at 0.17" with a caliper...right where it should be.
Where is the horn located on a 1993 Cherokee Sport?
Most have one horn under each fender in the front. My 03 Sport has 1 horn just under the left front turn signal lamp. from underneath move the tar type paper and it is held in place by one 1/2" bolt. Try emery cloth on the contact before replacing horn.
Is timing belt replacement considered scheduled maintenance on a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero?
The 2000 Mitsubishi Montero 3.5L is listed as an "Interference Engine" under timing belts in the www.RockAuto.com auto parts catalog. This means the valves or other major engine parts will be damaged if the timing belt breaks while the engine is running. So replace it as part of scheduled maintenance. Many manufacturers recommend changing the timing belt every 60K miles. I do not know if Mitsubishi recommends different mileage intervals.
Test if your hazard lights work. There are normally two flasher cans in most vehicles.
If the hazard lights work, It is likely to be the flasher can that works the indicators is blown and in need of replacement.
These will be available for under $50US from most auto parts stores.
