#11 of 232 Re: Tranfer Case & Front Diff Issues [lemerson] by mauto1 Jul 27, 2006 (7:01 am)
Replying to: lemerson (Jul 26, 2006 11:39 am) Well where should I begin, I called the dealer parts dept. and asked them about the FreeWheel Switch/solenoid part and they gave me a price of $109.00 however out of stock. I then spoke to the dealer shop and they informed me that they checked the solenoid and it check out fine along with the sensors/actuaters. The dealer shop felt it was a mechanical issue and they are waiting to hear back from the tech line. Meanwhile I continued my search for any resolution. I came across a site that spoke about the same issue with the Pajero ( European Mitsubishi Montero) and it suggested that one should clean and lubricate the auto hubs and this action is not complicated althoug the manual suggests otherwise. It actually solves most engaging/disengaging problems. I got down and dirty and completed the cleaning of the auto hubs and I have driven about 30 miles so far and no engaging/disengaging has occured. I will remain patient and continue driving to see what happens. So far I have paid the dealer $106.00. So mabye they have done me a favor by not replacing parts at this point we will see. I will keep you posted on the outcome. ( I used a mild degreaser and very warm soap water and then undercarraige lubricate. Thank you !

Replying to: mauto1 (Jul 27, 2006 7:01 am) If possible - can you post the web site where you obtained this information? I too went around and around with my dealership - 1st no codes and all sensors were fine then once the 4x4 dummy lights stayed on a code did fire - it was replace all detection sensors - then, after the sensors were replaced it was the FreeWheel Switch/solenoid. Now when the sensor on the front diff was replaced, it need to be shimmed out to work properly (i.e. stop the lights on the dash from flashing) however shimming this sensor did not let it do the job it was designed for - letting you know the diff was engaged. When this sensor was put in, the diff was slightly engaged already which was setting off the sensor - not sure why the tech didn't check this, but since the FreeWheel Switch/solenoid was replaced, I have no problems as of yet. Keep us posted! Replies to this message: mauto1 (Aug 02, 2006 12:44 pm) fodbuster (Feb 06, 2007 6:22 pm) fodbuster (Mar 22, 2007 9:19 am)
#14 of 232 outside temperature reading by jokerwild60 Jul 27, 2006 (10:21 am)
I have a 2000 mitsubishi montero sport. I have the compass and temperature reading on the rear view mirror. The compass is working correctly, but the outside temperature gauge is flashing OC. Does anyone know how to reset this to make it work correctly?.

Replying to: lemerson (Jul 27, 2006 10:03 am) OK OK I have driven over 150 miles and still no problems with the engaging and disgaging issue on the Montero 02. I am unbale to post the website that gave useful info on what to try. However I will paste comments from the writer: Keep in mind that this was pertaining to ISUZU Troopers (So I said why not Monteros ?) > People have suggested that cleaning front autolocking hubs on my 98 Trooper > may solve intermittent 4wd engagement problem. Is this complicated, and > likely to solve 4wd issue? On the previous model cleaning and lubricating the auto hubs is not complicated althoug the manual suggests otherwise. It actually solves most engaging/disengaging problems. Don't know on the later model. Give it a try. Good luck, Erik-Jan. -- http://www.fotograaf.com/trooper ====================================================== ===========My Story=================================== I purchase a $1.98 of chassis lube/grease in can with straw applicator from the local Mart store and then sprayed under chassis with light pressure soap and water including the front hubs outer and inner. I then let dry and then from underneath with skateboard I lubed (sprayed) every possible moving part I could fine concentrating on the inner hubs, driveshaft U joint and axle gears close to wheels. So there you go after 150 miles still no problems and I am still waiting on the dealer to contact me with any answers or suggestions from the Mitsubishi tech line. The below website shows picture of driveshaft U joint and other moving parts I did not open or remove anything I only sprayed what I could see that was a moving part. http://www.procarcare.com/icarumba/resourcecenter/encyclopedia/icar_resourcecent- - er_encyclopedia_driveshaft1.asp Replies to this message: fodbuster (Feb 06, 2007 6:22 pm) fodbuster (Mar 22, 2007 9:19 am)

#20 of 232 Air Conditioning isn't working properly! by scorpion007s Sep 24, 2006 (3:14 am)
For over two years now I've been trying to correct this problem and so far nothing seems to work. When the A/C is on and at idling the RPM, unlike any other car, drops down between 375 to 400 RPM and with the A/C off it runs at a constant 700 RPM.   Would someone help me please 'cause I am running out of option.         Thank you
