Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

can any body recomend a electronic shop that can check and repair a glow plug controller board ?


thanks dominic

Where do you live?

Do you mean the glow plug controller? L300s do not have electronic engine management, and so have no ECU.

hi laura!
you are right it is a glow plug contoller, got lost in the abbrivations, i am in the vancouver area

Any shop that repairs Delicas will have somebody who can fix the glow plug controller. It's easy to remove it yourself from its hiding place in the driver's side B pillar, especially if you like standing on your head.

The usual failure mode is two big electrolytic capacitors on the board leak, and the glop that comes out of them eats traces on the circuit board. The controller is stone dead in this case: no clicks, no activity of any kind. I fixed my own, about this time last year.

I had my old one repaired by Blue Streak (HUGE national electronics co.) through WakeField Sperling (Auto Parts Plus) in Langley.

Took 5 days and cost $90.

They replaced half the components on the board.

Hello

That is a better price then what I paid! DOH! I went Japan electronics on Main st here in Vancouver and it cost $125.00. Frankly I am not sure what they replaced but it works really well now. 604 872 06 72

Well, I beat all you guys and paid $175.00 in Texas! Then the shipping back to Canada, we won't talk about that.

Given the above, I won't even bother looking up who did it in Texas.
