    Hi! We have a 2003 Mitsubishi Adventure, when I tried to open the locks via the remote, it doesn't open so I had to use it manually. I thought it was the battery of the remote but we changed its batteries recently. It was on engine lock so it will not engine start since I used the key manually instead of the remote, but when I switched the ignition key, not even the lights on the oil, temp, etc were lighting up. We already changed the battery before and I used it a week before and was working fine.

    We suspect it was electrical wiring failure but the mechanic is still not available to check. Are there any possible causes that this had happened besides wiring?

    Also how much will it cost if we fix the wiring if it is the case?

    Thank you

    Check the battery again. It may be new but something in your vehicle might have drained the power out of it.

    Thank you for your reply. We had check the battery (I suspected the battery at first as well), but I will check it one more time just incase.

    If its not the batteries, do you have any suspected cause of this?

    Hi, I doubt it is the engine lock since none of the electronics seem to be working but I will check if that's the case as well, thank you.

    Seems like it was the battery. Something was draining the battery and it worked after recharging the battery from the other car.

    I suspect that it is the bypassed fuse that we inserted that caused the draining.

    Thank you everyone.

    Hello.mga sirs and maams bago po ako dito sa site so hindi pa po ako.makaka post sorry po kung tama ba itong thread napasok ko.. so here is my question po may adventure po kami mga before 2000 ata model nito ang problem is pag nagshift ako ng 3-4th gear or kahit saan jan kapag nag slowdown ako.parang mag rattling sound hindi po nakuha ng mekaniko ko ang maingay baka kasi daw may napasok lang sa tambutsu or whatever pero nakaka irita kasi at the same time nakaka praning baka biglang sumabog sasakyan.mo hehehe.. though hindi naman po very alarming kasi hindi naman ako nasa manila nakatira na baka tumirik sa ma traffic na daan nasa leyte po ako.. yun lang po problema.. na check na niya sa ilalim pero wala siyang nakitang loose ends sa ilalim... lumabas lang yang ingay noong nag replace ng clutch assembly at pina ayos ang tambutso kasi napotol yung bandang connection niya na may malaking "lata".. ano po kaya possible na problema?

    Ito pa po isa kapag umiinit na ang makina like an hour na gamit or naka stambay at on ang aircpn napapansin ko humihina ang hatak... Pero once ma turn off ko kahit sandali lang bumabalik naman lakas niya.. may taga leyte po ba dito sa ormoc po... May kakilala po ba kayu na super experienced na mekaniko? Thanks po..

    feeling ko lang...
    hindi transmission yan.
    loose universal joint couplings ng propeller shaft, or loose differential gear sa banjo.
    good luck, po.
