Where to get some electrical help?
ok so i had too much time to play around with the car this weekend resulting in me f@#@ up a few things..
issue #1
i have an air bag sensor on (after doing some research i know this can easily go away with an SRS scanner tool) besides the dealer who has one of these? i know the dealer will prolly rip me off...
issue #2
i have no power to my radio, every other electrical thing works, i was inclined enough to check my fuses and nothing seems to be broken, is there a shop other than the dealership that could take a look at this for me? i give up with this one, also im 100% certain that it is not the head unit itself since i have tried to connect another head unit with the same result
any help or tips would be appreciated thanks

In terms of the radio I am sure they will take it back and replace it. I went thru two radios. different issues.

And this goes for everyone, If you are a club insider (big ticket purchase in the past or participated in a qualifying event) like boostedgraphite has then you are able to access our scan tool for free.
If you are a regular member the charge is only 10 dollars and that includes the ability to diagnose, monitor real time engine stats and clearing codes.

lmao oh my...i think you are bang on with this..my power mirrors dont work and the power mirror fuse is fried...that is ghetto of mitsubishi to hook up the stereo to the wrong fuse...i just wasted lots of time trying to fix something that could have been fixed in 2 minutes...i even checked all of the other fuses but i only focused on the #15 ones i should have checked the mirror one aswell...ahwell...thanks for the successful tip i wonder if mitsubishi even has some kind of advisory explaining this mess up?
