for sure not just a bad horn button or its relaywhen it alarms does the dash screen show door errors>?it is not a single system it is deeply integrated in to all.do not fool around air bags, or boom, they must be disabled first working near any air bag SRSI FEEL YOUR PAIN, MOST OEM ALARMS CAN NOT BE FULLY DISABLED (AS IN FOR EVER , HACKED?)IS THE CAR BATTERY FULLY CHARGED, NOT WEAK?ONE SOLUTION IS TO ASK THE DEALER TO DISABLE ITOR PULL THE HORN FUSE f8.. JUST TO GET SILENCEI AM NOT TALKING IMMOBLIZER HERE. JUST THE DOOR ALARMS.SCAN THE PCM FIRST (IT MAY TELL YOU WHICH DOOR FAILS)THERE ARE 10+ SWITCHES TO FAIL HERE THIS YEAR.FRONT AND REAR./DOORS CAN BE SOME TIMESMY CAR THE USER GUIDE TELLS YOU HOW. TO NOT SET ALARMS.ON SOME CARS JUST USE THE METAL KEY TO LOCK THE DOOR AND AND ALARMS ARE NOT ENABLED, RTM READ YOUR USERS GUIDE FIRSTYES SOME CARS THE SILLY ALARM DOES NOT TELL YOU WHICH DOOR SWITCH FAILS ,JUST THAT 1 IN 10 DID. 1 FOR LIFT GLASSYES A HUGE PAIN REPLACE ALL SWITCHES 1 BY 1./BUT IF MUST GUESS TRY DRIVES DOOR SW FIRST, IT GETS HARD USE.FIRST MAKE SURE FOBS ARE NOT BAD GOING TO PINIC MODETO DO SO, TAKE OUT FOB BATTERY OR WRAP THE FOB IN KITCHEN ALUM FOIL.OR FIND STEEL COOKIE BOX AND PUT ALL FOBS IN THE CANTHIS FORMS A FARADAY GAGEALSO A FOB BAD OR ITS BATTERY WEAK CAN BE IT.SO GO TO BED WITH FOBS ALL IN A TIN BOX. SEE IF IT ENDS PAIN. MANY CARS THE USERS GUIDE EVEN HAS SPECIAL MODESLIKE NO HEAD LAMP FLASHING EVER,(BY ARMED OR ALARM)JUST HAD 1 FOB HERE THAT WENT BERSERKOPENS TAIL GATE GLASS A 1000 TIMES AS WE SLEEP!AND DOING SO BATTERY NEW FAILS FAST. GOES WORSE.THE BUTTON IN THE FOB IS SHORTED AND CAN NOT BE REPAIRED.ONLY A NEW FOB. CHAPTER 3 IN YOUR MANUAL STATE( AND IS NOT CLEAR) USERS GUIDES ARE WRITTEN BY KLINGONS.Alarm deactivation The alarm can be deactivated in the following ways. By using the remote control transmitter to lock or unlock the door or to open the trunk lid. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position.Disarmed stage The system will be disarmed when either of the following steps are taken: 1. All doors are unlocked by the remote control transmitter. 2. The ignition key is turned to the "ACC" or "ON" position. 3. If the UNLOCK button is pressed when all doors are closed and no door is opened within approximately 30 seconds, re-arming will automatically occuR.I'D ASK THE DEALER FOR HELP. OR ANY ASE SHOP TOO.IF THE SCANS TELL WHAT FAILED WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO MISS THAT?on my car locking the door with key only , alarms are not active. finding this out on mitsubishi is not easy.some galant's have hood switch and if bad or not alignedboom justanswers saidThe only methods to disarm the factory alarm is to either use the wireless remote to unlock the doors while the alarm is going off, or use the key to unlock the car twice, either using the drivers door or the trunk lock.There is no other disarming procedure. If the lock cylinders do not disarm it, it is possible that both of your cylinder switches are bad.recap (my hit list) list shorter.check all fusesbattery main in car 12vdc not weak 12.6v is good or more.car starts can drives far ,day or night?horn button not bad, or clock spring shorts, steering col.keyfobs not bad, (remove all coins for testing) this test assumes the fobs are super bad and must be defeated. now.see if dash message shows,:door open alarm) <<< 11 switches to fail.scan the PCM to see DTC related to doors or alarm or horn.use the metal key to lock door, and not set alarm.some dealers can disable some features here, ask them.see next answer base on dead fobs or those gone mad.consider fob buttons can short and is never fun this. ever.consider drowned fob (wet inside,) battery out now.one more from justanswerslost fobs, or dead ones totally dead/bad or mad.Then to disarm you will insert the key into the drivers door and turn it twice to unlock. Either the drivers door or the trunk lock can be used for this.You can not simply disconnect the alarm on this model. The alarm is built into the ETACS (Electronic Timing and Alarm Control System). To disable the ETACS you would lose functionality of your locks, dome light, turn signals, low beam headlights and windshield wiper control. All of these functions are built into the ETACS with the alarm function.and more....

Fuse 16 in the Passenger Compartment https://fuse-box.info/mitsubishi/mitsubishi-galant-2004-2012-fuses ..

This is a problem that is due in every case to a failed blower motor speed control resistor. the blower motor resistor is located right next to the blower motor and the wiring harness connector sticks out of the air ducting that cools it.

well actually there are 2 things that can cause this.. I'll list them both and the fix,,

1.) fuse.. There are 1 / 2 fuses that protect the fuel pump.. The first is the in fuse panel under the hood. Under the fuse panel cover is a diagram showing which fuse is which.. Simply replace that fuse..
the second fuse if any (some vehicles have them) is in the kick panel under the dash board. Just like the fuse box under the hood, the cover has a diagram showing which fuse is which .. simply replace it..

2.) the second most common problem is the relay.. There are 2 locations that the relay will be ,, The first is in the fuse panel under the hood. look at the diagram to determine the fuel pump relay and change it.. The second location id under the dashboard.. Locate the cars computer under the dash,, and you will notice 4 - 5 wires connecting to a relay box,, thats the pump relay,, simply open the box and replace the relay..

Now if both thge above isnt your problem the relay is controlled by the ignition switch (tumbler), now what happens is this trips the relay to tun on the pump,, The switch may be shorting or damaged or the wires fallen off,, replace the switch,, (this is a very rare issue)..

good luck..

hi sound more like you have a dashboard problem. sometimes the dash connections can get damaged or come lose when its been vigorously, the ecu does not control these abs controls the tech gas and temp run from the dash power only part were both tech and gages are together is the main connection connecting the wiring to the dash.

Most vehicle sensors are 5volt

depending on the variations after starting or cranking for a while the voltage will read 14.5 to 14.8 volts as the battery charges up that reading will drop back to 13.2 volts it will be lower at idle 12 >13 volts as the alternator speed has to be around 1,500 rpms to get the alternator to charge using the lights and any extra power requirements the voltage will go up to max of 14.5 -14.8 volts to compensate for the extra current required drive belt condition and tension will cause variations if it is not correct bad connections ( dirty terminals , loose harness fittings , corrosion) will all affect the ability of the alternator /regulator to produce constant voltage you will have to ask an auto electrician if the regulator is part of the ECM as most have the regulator in the alternator or a separate unit on the fire wall If it not part of the ECM then the ECM will have no bearing on the readings

Check if there is a separate fuse for the hazard lights circuit on your model. If so you can pull the fuse to stop the lights flashing until the hazard light switch, or whatever the cause of the problem is, can be rectfied.

2006 Mitsubishi Galant for easy and best solution :))

Yes it could be bad or discharged. If it is discharged that also will shorten the life of it depending on how long it sits around like that. You need a voltmeter to see what voltage the new battery is showing.

Unscrew it

If you're jumping with the jumper neg lead on engine block (like you should) then you have a bad ground lead. If you are jumpering to the battery terminals then the connection to the battery itself is bad. Clean the battery connector terminals.

the part about the lights that won't turn on may be because there is a blown fuse or a broken relay which needs to be changed, the part about the hid lights there may be a short circuit somewhere.

Your going to have to come here with test results or what you need to know Only checking for obd codes & diagnosing the issues, will find a problem,as you should know We can't guess at the unknown, without the car to check over & test

most of those are but , best thing to do is replace the belt and try it I have gotten lucky many time , well my customers did , ck online to see on you tube usually you will find a lot about most anything there

The fan belt is probly worn or dirty. Try cleaning the underside or the pullys in the serpintine route............or u mite hav to go back and chec work on the timing belt is all torqued to specs. Is belt tension rite

It depends how far you want to go. usually a tune up consists of an oil change, oil filter included, air filter change, and tire check and rotation. But a tune up could also include spark plug check and replacement/upgrade, spark plug wire replacement/upgrade, coolant flush, or even a transmission flush. It all depends on how far you want to go

On some cars the locks are on the same fuse as the cigarette lighter plug outlet and if it gets a short it will cause it to blow ..ive seen people drop pennies into the power outlet and cause this issue
