My GF drives a 2001 Mitsubishi Gallant and it is having some problems right now. I was wondering if any car experts could help me out on this one.
1. Car has a hard time starting up, and sometimes will not and have to wait 5 minutes. I am thinking it is either the battery of the starter. The starter seems to barely turn and the car turns over slowly.
2. Steering wheel shakes alot while driving, especially at high speeds.
3. There is some sort of crazy electrical problem. The front left headlight always goes dim, even when replacing the light bulb. When she turns her car off and back on, the odometer always resets, and your have to always turn the cd player on and put the factory code in.
4. The cigarette lighter and inside light does not work.
5. Recently the cd player started to refuse working, when you turn it on it just says "off" on the display and turns itself back off.
I will bring the battery to Autozone to get it checked out this afternoon, and will also check all the fuses. This car sucks

Mine does this too! The fuse has blown at least 8 times throughout the last year that I've owned my 2001 Galant V6. It's a fuse located in the engine compartment... I believe it is 15amp and it controls the interior dome lights and stereo... have no clue why it blows but it does occaisionally and it won't work again until you replace it... Better buy a big pack of 'em cause this car sucks... lol

Hi
I think the IOD fuse connection is loose or may be got some corrosion?? Normally this fuse control all the electrical accessories inside the car like the radio, doem light ... It's found in the fuse box under the bonnet and it's got a special yellow plastic lift up casing around it. try having a look if it's secured properly...Good luck.
