#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?

#2421 of 2438 runs rough, pings, check engine light on by dblnomad Jul 23, 2009 (10:27 am)
Hi to all, first post, I have a problem I hope someone can help with. My daughter has a 2002 Galant 2.4L 4 cyl auto. 111,000 miles. all of the sudden the other day, while at a traffic light, it started running rough, the check engine light came on and it started pinging (detonation)very badly on acceleration to the point where it is barely driveable. We have it down to the local mechanic and he is telling us the motor is junk. says cyl1 and 2 have 170lbs of compressiion and 3 and 4 have only 80 and this is the problem. suggests new motor for $2500. The motor idles ok , doesnot skip, doesnot smoke, tailpipe is clean,the pinging gets worse as the motor heats up and has been trouble free until now. It acts just like the timing is advanced all the way. I feel it is in the ignition somewhere. any advice or suggestions are welcome thanks Replies to this message: the_guy (Jul 24, 2009 5:40 am) dblnomad (Jul 24, 2009 5:53 am) the_guy (Jul 24, 2009 11:43 am) furqanbutt (Jul 24, 2009 11:32 pm)
