The Mitsubishi Eclipse is a four-seat (2+2) sports coupe produced from 1989 to 2011 exclusively in left-hand-drive (LHD) configurations. In the U.S., it was also marketed under the Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser nameplates. This article provides detailed fuse box diagrams and circuit assignments for the 3rd and 4th generation Mitsubishi Eclipse (chassis codes D52A/D53A and DK2A/DK4A; model years 2000–2005 and 2006–2012).
Below are the locations, diagrams, and descriptions of the power distribution centers and fuse blocks. Fuses for the “Cigarette Lighter” and “Fuel Pump” circuits are highlighted in bold.
