Replying to: sailing216 (Apr 19, 2007 6:35 am) It worked! I sprayed the thing inside the door like you suggested and a few months later (probably due to warmer weather) it finally let me in. I then popped the panel and lubed everything in site. thanks for your input. dsgnr1 |

I am having a really tough time getting a shop manual for my 2001 Montero. (It is NOT a sport!) I am not into downloading the manual & having to look at the computer for every move I need to make. Matter of fact...I am having a tough time getting any parts I need at the parts houses too. They inevitably get it wrong each & every time I need something. What's with this?  I really like my truck & would like to keep it for another 105K! The alternator recently went & it took over a week to get one. While in the shop I had the trans pan dropped & cleaned.......another problem getting the "proper" fluids.

Two questions - we bought a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport a couple of months ago and so far love it. Question 1 - The owners manual was not in the glove box and we need an owners manual, but the dealership wants to charge us $49.00 Any suggestions?? Questions 2 - I had to disconnect the battery and clean the posts, as the vehicle wouldn't start. When I got it reconnected, everything came up OK except the radio, which indicated "code" on it's digital display. When we punched in "1234", it now comes up as "off" and we can't get any of it to work. On the faceplace, it shows that it is an anti-theft model. The dealer says that without the code in the owners manual, it has to come out of the dash and they would have to read the serial numbers on it to re-set it, which will cost us $79.00 plus tax - less than buying a new radio.  I need help, as I am getting frustrated. Thanks for your help. ge2feather

Replying to: ldanielson (Aug 06, 2007 2:12 pm) Some radio codes are on top of the radio, and can be seen by removing the fascia trim (aka bezel) surrounding the radio - often you can read the number without having to pull the radio out at all. Usually the surrounds pop off with a butter knife (any owners know?), but it depends on the car. You might ask a stereo shop if they can do it, if there's one in your area.

Replying to: steve_ (Aug 06, 2007 5:33 pm) I am still trying to find an owners manual, but will take your suggestion about e-bay. A friend had suggested calling junk yards, but again, we live 90 miles from the nearest city. Thanks again. Gary and Annie

Does anyone here know where i can find the fuse for the power mirrors? I have a 2001 montero sport. The manual shows 2 diff fuse boxes in the passenger compartment, and the only 1 i can find doesn't have the correct fuse. Thanks.

I have a 2002 Montero Sport LS with ~140,000 miles. It has a 3.0 liter engine and an AWD system. Despite the truck's current problem it has been a great vehicle. For about the last year I have hearing a noise from the engine compartment. The noise generally occurs when the engine has been idle, such as overnight. Sometimes the noise doesn't occur. Once the engine is warm, the noise disappears. At first I thought that the noise was a valve ticking noise as if there was no oil in the engine. I confirmed that it was not an engine oil problem. I then thought it was a loose "off-road" plate, but that was not the case. I have taken the vehicle to two different car mechanics and neither one found anything, heard anything or charged me. I have also been experiencing the "Service Engine Soon" light coming on for a couple of days continually. Then a day later it goes off for a few days. In addition to that, the engine has begun to buck between 1500 to 2500 rpms. I did have one of the O2 sensors replaced as well as a new gas cap. With the price of gas these days, I not sure the truck is running as efficiently as possible. This past summer my mother-in-law experienced a problem on her '03 Toyota Camry. The noise from the engine sounded very much like what I am hearing on my Montero. The Toyota Dealer ended up replacing her Intake Manifold. That solved the problem. I can't help but think that I may be having a similar problem. Can someone offer some advice? |
