Before you turn another bolt on your DSM you'd be wise to download the following...

2g Tech Info FSM
97-99 ECB FSM
97-99 Electrical FSM​

That or learn how to find/research what you need doing a simple search of DSMTuners utilizing Google...

Glad to see you figured it out without doing too much damage but that saying "measure twice, cut once" applies when working on your car's too. Do your research, figure out what you need to do, then grab the tool box and do it.

Nice , thanks for the downloads those will be very helpful, already started perusing them

I wish I knew about these free manuals before I bought one, thanks for the awesome link Gofer

Thanks gofer for the download recommendation i actual needed a manual 2.

 

[pauleyman]

Some of the download manuals are incomplete. I still prefer a paper manual first.

For all you eclipse guys (except spyders), if you look for talon fsms they're much, much cheaper. Search "talon FSM" on eBay. Got my set for $15 shipped. Like Pauley, I prefer paper. Much more practical in the garage when your hands are greasy, IMO

And you can write notes on them for next time

 

[gofer]

Everyone has their own preference. I have both the Eclipse and Talon FSM's for household use but if I need anything in the garage I print it off the computer and ruin the cheap 8.5x11 paper with my greasy/oily hand and not my $200 FSM's that are 20 years old.

That's just me.

 

[luv2rallye]

^yep, I do that too. My real Mitsubishi paper factory manuals have been opened so many times from helping people on this forum (average 5 times/day) that I have the bindings duct taped to keep them together . Also tons of notes written in them to find things quickly.

Seriously grateful for all the photocopies and camera shots over the years ^^^ Can't tell you how many things I've learned and committed to memory since about 2004 from all of your posts. Bad ass to have the power of the FSM images clipped and posted in relevant threads that are easy to search for too in case I forget a test procedure. I've had about 8 or 9 2gs at this point and have used your tips, tricks, and FSM posts on every single one of them in one form or another!

Do you have links to the 1g eclipse pdf guides?

Searching for the answer to your question before asking is never frowned upon...
