On each relay there is four prongs. The two prongs on the left say "COIL" the two on the right side of the relay says...One says "NO" and the other says "COM" bot relays say the same thing. I am at a loss. Mitsubishi told me what I found was not the MPI relay they told me this relay was found somewhere on the fire wall. Help me out you guys.

1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST all stock.


**The first pic is what it is suppose to look like from my research and understanding. Please let me know if I am wrong.


Plug the relays back in and Put your hand on those relays and see if you can feel them actuate when you turn the key to On. Or see if you have 12V power between the X1 - X2 or "Coil" wires on them both when you turn the key to on, of course check for power with the relays removed. If not proceed with the following steps.





Do not do this if you don't feel comfortable!!!

I'm thinking the two terminals marked "Coil" are the X1 - X2 terminals which actuate the relay. Look and see if the two wires going to the "Coil" terminals on the plug side are smaller than the "No" and "Com" terminal wires. More than likely they are. If they are that means your "No" and "Com" terminals are the main power wire that the relay closes. Therefore to "bypass" or Jumper the relays you would just insert a paperclip or piece of wire in the the "No" terminal and jumper it to the "Com" terminal. This bypasses the relays. Do not allow the jumper to touch metal or "Ground" out or you can fry something or blow a fuse. And remember, don't let the smoke out of anything or it won't work anymore!

Good Luck!
