Get your soldering gun ready!

 

Mitsubishi should have a recall and fix this problem. What happens when you get stuck in the rain and you lights dont work, wipers wont turn on and your window is down.

 

+1

 

So what is the source of the problem? where is this water coming from?

 

man, now that is spooky. you must of did something real bad to someone j/k. I say trade it in for a new one. Electrical problems are a pain.

 

get some holy water

 

Just a little update. I bought that cq electrical cleaner sprayed the **** out of all pins/connectors, and It did nothing.

Just to recap my 2 main problems are:

1. All my dash lights/immobilizer light flashes/gas gauge/temp gauge etc... still come on when I plug the battery in and the key is OUT of the ignition.

2. When I do get the car turned on, it won't turn off when I take the key out of the ignition. So I have to pull a fuse.

 

"For all you guys the water gets in though the gromet located on the drivers side inner fender well then runs down the harrness to the connector and corrodes the pins. This normally attacks the wipers and lights but there are about 6 or 7 connectors behind there"

 

well said. you need to find where the h2o is coming from first and stop that because cleaning the wires will only delay this problem.

 

Wow... If my car wouldn't turn off, I will freak out...
Does your car still have warranty?
Good luck.

 

62k so that's a big fat NO.

 

BBY did you solder the wires in the Black Connector

I did them all but I think the black connector will fix you up. If not One of them is sure to be the culprit

I didnt have the turn off problem. My dash lights and parking lights would stay on even after the car was off though.

I even saw that one connector spark and all

 

No I didn't, i'll try it though, thanks.

 

dam dat sucks ur gonna need to rewire it

 

Like I said earlier on, it is c129 in the driver kick. I have allready gone through the entire car and when I disconnected that plug, the car turned off.

There was nothing I could do to repair it and the whole engine harness had to be replaced.

The immobilizer has nothing to do with this problem and you can not disable it. Your problem is soley in that connector.
