Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

Dimmer switch & windshield washer fluid?

Post by philmeup1 »

Sup folks??

Just a few questions from a semi newby here....

First, I guess there's no dimmer switch for the dash lights on the '93 Delica Super Exceed?? Not that it really matters but....

Where do you fill the windshield washer fluid on these things?? Winters here in Ontario and she's already getting quite messy. There's salt and sand everywhere!!

Cheers:)

No dimmer switch.

Windshield fluid is in the passenger footwell, just in front of the door, it slides out towards the seat. The rear fluid is under the door, in the door frame surround, not that the rear wash wipe is of a huge amount of use unless you need to see the road in the distance behind you!

No dimmer switch on the Japanese models. There was one on the american version (but it was onl 2 WD, and no bush bar front bumper). FYI, that dimmer switch was located on the blank spot next to cigarette lighter, but no one has created one on this forum, so the wiring probably does not exist.

Because it is a pain to pull out, put in funnel, and pour, I now use a liquid laundry detergent bottle. Squatter and more stable sitting in the van than a normal ww fluid bottle, but it also has a built in funnel!

Never had any trouble pulling the washer bottle out at all - maybe a little grease if it's sticky...?

After the first time, I haven't had trouble pulling it out. But the pouring was always an issue until I used the detergent bottle..

It's difficult the first couple of times, but pull on it often enough and it'll come off fine in your hand. :shock:

Haha. Good to know that it pulls out. I thought it was just a really poor design.
...No funnel needed
