problem #1

Dec 202007

Galant 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,150 miles
My car would not start at all. After it being towed to a garage, they diagnosed the problem to be the electrical wiring harness. It was chafing against the engine and causing a short. When they replaced all the fuses the car sparked and smelled of smoke with small flames by the fuse box. The mechanic ended having to replace the harness. But said that this maybe a universal problem as my car is only a 2005 Mitsubishi Galant. Of course it has 72,000 miles so it is out of warranty.
