Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

we had an interesting experience yesterday when we got home from our camping trip.....

I jumped out of the van to let Brian back it in with the trailer (jamtart me!). So he let it cool down, and he turned off the key and took it out, and the deli was still running. Couldn't figure out why, hummed, hawed, scratched our collective heads....

turned off the headlights and the van shut down. Is that normal?? Weird??? I guess its better than the headlight beeping "shut off your lights stupid" alarm. It sure gets your attention!

Anyhow, great weekend, excellent meeting everyone who came out to Snow Creek. Good fun all!!

i guess the way they set up your day time running light module. check this & maybe you can fix thissometime it happen like this.
cheers;

G'morning, hope your gang and you had a great rest of the weekend.

As a DIY'er, I jumper my low beams with a fused wire into a hot on ignition source on my van. One side effect is there is the engine doesn't turn off with lights on, there's likely no module. Will stay on also with the fog lights on, they switch the low beams on also.

Camping pictures soon?

I have had the same thing happen to mine, the DRL was done at Marigold so I'm thinking it was done to the same level quality as the couple other things they did to it (BTW I was not impressed). I plan on redoing pretty much everything they touched but of course I have no time.

thanks for the info, and yes, great rest of the weekend, too bad you couldn't hang around. I remembered to take the camera, and it probably would have worked way better if I actually brought it out of the tent a few times, but I think lots of pics got taken, so they'll likely show up in the next few days around here somewhere.

If you read about our experience, you'd know I'm not surprised that you aren't impressed with the work done at Marigold. Make time before you become very sorry you didn't and have to call a tow truck.

luckily it was only for compliance, just DRL, the E13 lights, and fixing the horn, all of which I need to go over again but shouldn't be able to cause too major an issue (crosses fingers).
