2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT: Maplight Burnout

By Mike Schmidt | May 25, 2011

We took our 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT in for service last week. At the time we asked the dealer to look at the driver side maplight. It didn't want to illuminate every time we called upon it. So when our advisor told us they couldn't repeat the problem we weren't really surprised.

Guess what? The problem remains. We will add it to the list for our next visit.

I have a vision of a rented Grand Marquis or Crown Vic with a dealer mechanic in the trunk being taken from the dealership to Edmund's garage and being shown the light and being asked "Can you duplicate the issue now?"

Replacing a bulb like this doesn't usually involve much hassle. RTM will have the procedure.

It sounds like the bulb is fine, try swapping with the other side. The trigger to turn it on might be loose.

Sounds like the perfect time to swap in a set of LED's.
