in the overhead console of a 6th generation 2012-2016 Mitsubishi Mirage.

 Insert Flathead Screwdriver |
| This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the sixth generation (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, & 2016)
Mitsubishi Mirage in changing a dead battery in the key fob remote
control for the keyless entry system. Owners of other Mitsubishi vehicles such as the Lancer, Outlander, Galant, Montero, Eclipse, 3000GT, Endeavor, Raider, Diamante, Attrage, Carisma, Colt, Grandis, Magna, Pajero, Space Star and the revised 2017 Mirage may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement festoon or "fuse" style bulb is part number DE3175 which is available from various manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Eiko and PIAA. You can also use a brighter DE3175 LED bulb. The only tool needed to access and replace the bulb is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool. |
