Everything started because I bought a new battery and it drained the first night, so I decided to check all the fuses and relays for an open circuit. Everything is cool except that, when I press the power locks button to lock the doors and it turns off the engine. Also I plugged the scanner and it gave me a code about the throttle body. Everythingnis weird..
If you fitted a new battery which drained overnight, that points towards a discharge somewhere in the electrical system. The battery charge is finding its way to earth somewhere.
One of the usual causes of battery discharge is a faulty alternator - the diodes in the rectifier pack (usually attached on the end of the alternator) burn out, allowing the current to run to earth.
Disconnect the wiring from the rear of the alternator and charge your battery and let it stand overnight, with the alternator wires disconnected.
If it starts ok in the morning, that's pointing towards a burnt out rectifier pack.
Other causes of battery drain - well - they can be caused by anything in the electrical system including the instrument cluster.
There will be sensors on the throttle body. Check the wiring on the sensors. If you're getting an error code that's suggesting you have a sensor problem.
If the engine cranks but doesn't fire - it's a sensor at fault, usually. Though it could also be due to a broken or corroded wire to one of the sensors/ECU.
If the engine doesn't crank that points towards an earthing problem. Check the battery cables for security and corrosion - particularly check the black earth cable where it attaches to the engine block.

The problem is the door latch, you can use sawsall to cut the door stricker off this way you can open the door and replace the latch
SOURCE: my car won't turn over
does this car have a safety device that won't let you start the engine unless the clutch is pushed in???
if so that little switch on the clutch pedal could be faulty.

check air conditioner compressor fuse or relay.if all is good.you have a open compressor clutch coil or a bad compressor.also check compressor clutch wire.
SOURCE: mitsubishi outlander cooling fans not operating
There is a Recall to replace your cooling fan module because of this concern.
Open your hood and look at the black box bolted to your radiator fan by the battery. If it does not have a green dot on it, you have not had the replacement fan module installed.
Contact your local dealer with your VIN handy to verify the recall has not been done and to schedule an appointment.
If the recall has been done, verify if you have power coming out of the module to the fans, as the fans do burn out eventually.... but rarely both at once.
