  • Search for one of the most common troubles in power seats: inspect the seat rails and the area under the seat with a flashlight and make sure there are no objects obstructing or preventing seat movement.

  • Inspect the fuse or circuit breaker if both front power seats fail to op

  • Turn on the ignition switch, but do not start the engine. Operate the power seat switch and listen for the motor running under the failed seat. If you do not hear any sound coming from the motor, lift the switch from the door panel or the side of the seat.
  • Check for incoming voltage at the switch using a test light. If there is no voltage, check the wiring between the switch and the fuse panel for an open or short.
  • Unplug the switch and test it for continuity using a multimeter. If there is no continuity, replace the switch.
  • Test the relay if your circuit has one between the switch and the failed motor. Operate the switch and make sure the relay is receiving voltage from the switch; also, test for outgoing voltage from the relay to the motor using a test light. Make sure the relay is properly grounded. Remove or move the seat to the side if possible for this test. If one of the voltages is not present, check that part of the wire for an open or short. If there is no outgoing voltage, test the relay for proper operation and replace it if necessary.
  • Check for incoming voltage at the failed motor or motors using a test light. If there is no incoming voltage, test the wire or wires for continuity between the motor and switch or relay, looking for an open or a short.
  • Unplug the failed motor and test it outside, connecting the motor to the battery using two jumper wires. If the motor still does not operate, replace it.
  • Inspect the drive assembly-transmission, gears and tracks-and make sure the mechanism is in good condition. Make repairs as necessary.

    SOURCE: front plate in a mitsubishi eclipse

    If your State doesn't require it, why install it?
    If your State does require a front plate, and you just bought the car, take it back to the dealer. They are required by law to install the plate before selling it.

    Any auto store can sell you mounting hardware for your front plate. If you look at your front bumper, you should see two little dimples in the center of the bumper, these will line up with your plateholder. Make sure it does and drill there, and mount with proper hardware.

    SOURCE: how do i release my

    grab what cable you can with vice grips, you didnt say where it broke.... if that isnt possible maybe bend a coat hange end and feed it under the middle of hood around the plastic covering the cable and yank very hard, sometimes that will release it but you need to have another cable as it may only work once....

    2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Yesterday automatic gear shift seemed tight. Check transmission fluid. Fine. Won't release from park today. Is there a shift release button? I can't find it.

    Foot on the brake before you shift
    Lift up lightly on the shifter and wiggle
    If nothing pull the center console and check the shifter to see what is in the way

    Take seat cover off

    You need to remove the seat from the floor. Take out of the car and turn it upside down. Remove the hog rings holding the cover to the frame and remove the cover. Do your patch/repair and put the cover back on. Before you start, get a box of hog-rings and a pair of hog-ring pliers to crimp them with back in the same holes you removed them from. As for the head rest, there should be a button on the side to release it. Then just pull it straight up.

    Keys Locked in Trunk

    After looking at the way the rear seats are. You would be better served calling a lock smith. The cost verses the possible damage.
