Good Luck and hope this helps.

Your rotors have an integrated hub with serviceable bearing.

Remove the six bolts around the center of the hub and pry off the grease cover.

behind it you will find a locking wheel with two philips screws holding it in position. Remove the screws and unscrew the locking wheel.

Behind is a large axle locknut that requires a special tool to remove. It has two small holes to grip with. Unscrew it and you will be able to remove the outer bearing, then slide the rotor off the spindle/axle.

From there you can unbolt the rotor disc from the hub backside, or replace the whole unit. Replacing the whole unit will require installing new bearings/races, however.

Either method will require repacking the bearings and loading the bearings with the special locknut tool.

Verify your connections at the battery, not just for being tight but for corrosion as well, on the terminal and the cable.

Also check for oil on the bottom of the alternator. The right hand cam seal is notorious for leaking directly onto the alternator, killing them quickly.

That all being said, I haven't seen an aftermarket alternator last on a Montero for more than a month or two; so if your new ones are not OEM, you might consider getting a genuine one if your corrosion and oil leak checks are OK.

It is located on the passenger side of the motor, underneath side. There are two bolts on the back side of the starter, be careful the small heat shield around the starter will come loose, pull it out toward the back, there will be a gap between the axle and the sway bar. When you have unbolted the starter slide it forward to unbolt the positive cable and there is a slide connection to undo. While you are sliding the starter back you will have to rotate it to where the solenoid is facing down and work it out the same gap that the heat shield went through. Just remember how you took it out and you install the same way but backwards. Good luck and don't forget about the shield, FUN FUN.

Mine did the same thing so I removed the center console and then the boot around transfer case shifter and the shifter it self.
This is when I discovered a broken linkage that had wedged itself between the 4L & 4H shafts in the transfer case. I removed the broken parts and reassembled and it will shift between 2H & 4H but not 4L until the broken plastic linkage is replaced. Found your post while lookin for the replacement part so I thought I would try to help. Good Luck

Hi

Fuse map comes in the user manual. You can get a copy at the nearest dealer. Service documentation available to technicians list fuses in their respective contest depending on the chapter, and there is no fuse map.

To fix your problem:

Check fuses 5 and 19 in the in-dash fuse box, located below the steering wheel on the driver side (passenger side in some model- check both sides). Below a pic:



Near to the fuse box there is an auxiliary relay box. Check also for fuse 19 in the aux relay box. Here a picture:



If that does not fix the problem, check the mirror fuse and wiring . See Body and Chassis Electrical (from workshop manual).

Hi:
I have montero sport 2000 also. If you call your local mitsubishi dealer and give them your vin number on your rig they will be able to give you codes to punch into probbably your stereo that will reset a factory alarm. good luck...

Well those circuits are on different fuses, and it would be unusual if you had more than one blown fuse. It does sound like a power problem since the temp gauge is grounded thru the sending unit.
If nothing on the dash works, I would check the key switch first.

Hi, if your oil is low you may be causing the engine to overheat and that may lead to the engine seizing. Better top up the oil and see if the problem goes away.
