Odds are you have water where there shouldn't be. Start here and see where this takes you.

Yes sir!! What he said. You have corrosion in the connectors behind the drivers side left foot kick panel. Nothing some solder and heat shrink tubing can't fix. I've done >10 at this point.

Good Luck, Check twice, Cut once.

Mine has never corroded again. Rain gets in behind the fender via cowl, removed/worn fender plastics, worn/removed hood seal rubber, etc...

The grommet that the harness from the fuse block under the hood runs through that grommet. Apparently some of those grommets don't seal well, become compromised, or it's a design flaw from Mitsubishi. Water gets through the grommet, runs down the harness (it doesn't take more than a drop here and there even) and gets to the pins on the back side of the connectors. Then you end up with this lovely dilemma.
