Once the wires are disconnected, the gauge cluster can now be They can be disconnected by pushing down and on the button on top andĥ. The only thing that is holding the cluster to the car is 3 wiring harnesses. Pull the cluster a little bit towards you, but do not pull it out all the way.Ĥ. The cluster is held in by four screws in each corner. Removing the cowl, disconnect the dimmer switch.ģ. It's okay because they either end up on the floor or in the lower guageĬover panel (The panel below the dimmer switch). It is held in by 4 clips, and eventually it'll pop out. Firmly, but carefully, pull the guage cowl towards you with moderate force. Tilt the steering wheel down as far as possible.Ģ.
WARNING: Before doing anything, it is recommended that you disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid damaging the car's electronic system.ġ. +(2x) butt connectors or splicers (Splicer recommended) Follow the steps and you will soon be able to enjoy and appreciate your own work This installation is easy and fairly straight forward, but it takes patience. I am not responsible if you damage any components of your car, or inflict self-injury upon yourself. These steps are for installing the gauges the right way no cutting (Except for the wires), trimming or ghetto work will be done to the dash or the gauge cluster assembly. I will try to make the installation process as easy, safe and interesting as much as possible. The "mule"/"project" car: 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT It will not add 50+ horsepower to your car, will not clean up your room, will not save your marriage, and especially will not find Fluffy, your long lost dog. The purpose of the indiglo, reverse guage, or "halo" gauge is to be cosmetically appealing. So for me this is a giant leap up for me.Tired of your 3G's boring dull orange gauges? Ever wish you can have those cool gauges you see in VWs and Audis? Well, that's probably why you got an indiglo gauge, or interested in one if you didn't get one yet. Before this, my 'newest' car was the Kia and it was already 2 years old when I bought it in 2010. Though I need more time to let it all sink it.
I hope they have an update to rectify this. It doesn't have auto door locks after a certain speed. I do have a couple complaints so far, but what car doesn't after you get to know it. There was no soft materials anywhere except the seats. The feel inside all of them was like sitting in a plastic cave. I tested Honda, Skoda, VW, Mazda, Ford, Seat and Subaru all in the same price range. It is lacking a few things, but overall, it beat what Honda is offering. So you need to look at the Eclipse Cross as more of a Nissan than a Mitsubishi.Īs for the interior. This is the last true Mitsubishi vehicle that will be made. He left Nissan to work for Mitsubishi in 2014. The engine is new and overall is a design from Tsunehiro Kunimoto. I only have 300 km on it so I cannot say much about the quality as of yet. The GPS is mounted in upper left corner of the windshield. My hand barely fit and there is no way to see in once my hand was in. There is a ton of room to slide the wires down to the fuse box. the A Pillar cover just pulls off like any of the other panels, not screws. I forgot to take pics of wire up A Pillar to camera but this is very straight forward in this car. There is 2 bolts right behind the fuse panel door. When car is off, on, during turning on and during turning off. I spoke with the Mitsubishi service and they were not sure if there was any recycling that would occur so I grabbed the multi-meter and started testing fuses with and without the car on.Īt first I was going to use the radio fuse for the Accessory figuring that would be off when the car was off. I was kind of worried when it came to Installing the Hardwire kit. As long as you are not shoving the wire deep inside, it will not get in the way of the air bags. Just pull them down, slide the wire up and let the seal push the wire up between the frame and headliner. The metal behind it is very sharp.įeed the wire along the top of the car behind the door seals. Took all of about 30 seconds to slide it through with a slight massage midway through.īe very careful while the doors seal is pulled off. This was even easier this time as the hose was a bit larger and I was more generous with the WD-40. Now to feed the camera wire through the hose. I stored the extra camera wire in the C Pillar. I chose the right side since the power wires will run left along windshield and down the left side A Pillar. I am one that likes to run video/audio wires separate from power wires. Here you can feed the camera wire between the headliner and into the lower hole for the tube.įeed the rest of the wire to the right or left depending on which side you want to run the wires. Pop off the rubber tube on the right side and pull the doors rubber seal off the top side to expose the headliner.
