#2410 of 2438 Re: Heater control valve? [mykim14] by near_2water Apr 13, 2009 (1:39 pm)
Replying to: mykim14 (Oct 16, 2008 9:54 am) Yeah I did figure out what the rattling noise was, underneath the dashboard on the passenger side of the middle console there are a supply and return line running to the heater core that provides the radiant heat for your heater. The supply line is controlled by a control valve which is operated by a little electric motor, when that motor burns out with the control valve closed there is no hot radiator fluid passing through the heater core to heat up the air. And usually the rattling noise in the dash is the motor giving out. I took out the motor and opened the valve and had a hot car all winter but the motor is very expensive to replace, hope it helps and sorry it's taken so long to respond.

I just bought a 2008 Galant ES with 33k miles and have a few questions. The transmission fluid looks light brown more than pink or red and does not seem to have that strong transmission fluid smell. Is this normal? I only received one key with the car. How much should I pay for a new one? Finally, there seems to be a lot of wind noise above 60. You can actually feel air coming through above the passenger side speaker on the dash.   Thanks for whatever you can tell me.
#2412 of 2438 2002 Mitsubishi Galant Electrical Issues by jsabia85 Apr 29, 2009 (4:10 pm)
I am having an electrical issue with my 2002 Mitsubishi Galant. A few weeks ago the fuse for my radio blew. This particular fuse controls my radio, overhead light, door locks and also hold the Odometers trip information. The door locks only work when they car is on. But unfortunately when I replace the fuse, it keeps blowing. 2 weeks ago, I completely disconnected almost everything I can think of one by one. As soon as I disconnected something I would pop a fuse in to see if it would blow or not.   I disconnected my radio, overhead lights, tail lights, door harnesses, amplifier and also my alarm. I popped a fuse in and it continued to blow. I decides to completely disconnect the battery and the ECU for about 5 minutes and then I put a fuse in and it DID NOT blow. SO i started connecting everything back 1 by 1 and it didnt blow. SO finally everything was good until today, the fuse blew again and continues to blow.   This time when I got home, I disconnected the battery, ecu and plugged in another fuse, reconnected everything and it still blew. Then I disconnected the door harnesses and put in another fuse and it didnt blow. Connected the passenger side, didnt blow, then i connected the drivers side and that when it blew. But i tested again by disconnecting the drivers side harness, put another fuse in and it blew. SO i have no clue where the short is coming from.   Does anybody have any ideas on where the problem can be? Replies to this message: pab3 (Jun 17, 2009 11:09 am)

#2414 of 2438 Sad to say goodbye, but need to.... by sellersad09 May 20, 2009 (7:01 pm)
Hi all, I am in need of help. I am sad to have to say goodbye to my 2008 Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart (fully loaded-nav and all), however I have been diagnosed with an illness and am unable to keep the car due to being out of work. I loved owning this car every minute and love driving it more than any other car I have ever driven, not to mention it's fun to watch heads turn when it is spiffy and shining. I bought the car in Oct 2007 and it has the low low mileage of 18,800. I am simply looking to sell my car for what is left on the loan ($18,900). I have babied my car and hope the person who buys it enjoys and loves it as much as I have. I don't know if anyone can offer me some advice on the best way to do this, but thought I would ask my fellow Mitsu lovers for their help first. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Replying to: marak88 (Jun 01, 2000 1:41 pm) Have you figured out what is making the weird smell in your galant vents? Mine is doing it too and it is now so bad that I cough and it burns my eyes.

Replying to: jsabia85 (Apr 29, 2009 4:10 pm) Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I have an 01 that is doing the same thing. I took it to the shop and they said a Mitsubishi dealer would have to scan the computer to see what it was. I really dont want to pay the dealer to do that.
#2417 of 2438 Re: Car getting hot when in park. [ryha32] by smartascii Jul 09, 2009 (2:09 pm)
Replying to: ryha32 (Mar 11, 2009 10:20 am) I can't guarantee it's the same issue, as mine happened on my mirage. First, does it also do it when you leave it in drive, but aren't moving? That was the case with mine, and it turned out to be the condenser fan. There are two fans up there, one for the radiator, and one for the A/C condenser, and while the radiator fan was blowing away, the condenser fan had burned itself out (and taken the fuse with it). The air moving over the radiator at speed would keep the temperature normal, but after sitting still for a while, it would climb (and pretty quickly). Hope this helps.
#2418 of 2438 2002 galant o2 sensor issues by youatemyrice Jul 09, 2009 (11:58 pm)
I just replaced the two oxygen sensors that sit before the catalytic converter. After installing them, when I turn the car on, it stalls, both of the o2 sensors I just replaced, are smoking, the exhaust is spewing out white smoke and when I let the car idle, it nearly stalls, then idles normally for a second or two, then nearly stalls and when I push on the gas, it revs up fine but it spews out smoke from the exhaust and when I push down lightly on the gas to bring it up to about 2500-3000 rpms, it shakes a little bit as if it is struggling to rev up. It did not act this way prior to installing the two new o2 sensors and I am at a loss as to why both sensors smoke and why the exhaust is spewing out white smoke. If anyone has had this problem, or knows why this may be, please let me know. I can't afford to be without a car, let alone pay a mechanic alot of money to fix something that may be simple and easy to fix. Thanks all!
#2419 of 2438 Air not cooling by jbgalant Jul 18, 2009 (1:03 pm)
I have a 2006 Galant SE. The air is not cooling. After running the AC on circulation, the AC light on the display and the AC button begins flashing. Would anyone know if this is probably AC coolant/freon leak or maybe something worse? Also, if freon leak, would you advise to pick up a bottle of 134 at the store and recharge myself instead of taking to the shop?
