Replying to: kakalak (May 18, 2000 2:34 am) I own a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant and the problem was windshield washer fluid was not coming out to clean my windscreen, my highbeam and my foglights were also not working. After 3 visits and over $1000 dollars the windshield washer is only coming out of the passenger side duct and they messed up my alarm, when I press lock on my alarm remote it works, but unlock does not work. On a previous occasion when I took the car for servicing, when I got it back they had left the transmission fluid dipstick on top of the car engine and the hood closed, I drove for two weeks not knowing what they had done If you have a choice avoid Bell Mitsubishi in Rahway NJ.

Replying to: goper6 (Jan 03, 2008 6:47 pm) Let me suggest that you submit a Service Review of this dealership in our Dealer Ratings & Reviews section. That's the best way to alert other consumers in your area of what happened to you. |

Hi, As I'm on my way to work today, my service engine soon light comes on. It's an '06 that I've only had for a year. What could it possibly need? Yes, I do keep the oil changed. |

Replying to: jonathan1980 (Nov 08, 2007 7:55 am) Apparently this is a common flaw for that model. The little motor runs $150. at the dealer and you can replace it in an afternoon. There are two electric motors adjacent to each other on the passenger side, so you want to make sure your dealing with the correct one. The one to the right controls the flapper, the one on the left controls the heater valve. You'll have to remove the lower dash on passenger side and glove box. Once you've done that the air bag and a piece of heater duct will need to go also. I disconnected the battery before unplugging the air bag. I'm paranoid when working around air bags for obvious reasons. With a little patients and perserverence the task is not that difficult .

Replying to: beaujest (Feb 05, 2008 8:27 pm) How I approached the situation was: slide the passenger seat all the way back, lean the back of seat all the way back, slid my little stool up against car door jam where I could lean across passenger seat and went to town. You'll need: regular flat screwdriver, stubby Phillips screwdriver, 10mm socket on 1/4in drive ratchet with 8in extension, a little bitty screwdriver for unplugging those confounded wire plugs, and a drop-light. Don't forget to disconnect the ground lug to battery before you mess with air-bag. As an interim till I could get the new part, I took the old motor drive off and manually opened the little valve to get the heat back on. Good luck and happy motoring.
