Mitsubishi Repair: electrical problems, electrical issues, electrical problems


Question
I have a '96 mit. galant and it is having major electrical issues. The battery is drained for some reason from an unknown source. I had the alternator replaced and the battery and even disconnected a poorly connected radio and still nothing. Not even the lights on in the car. It can't run with out being jumped and no one seems to know what the problem is. Please help if you know anything I could try and look at. Thanks!

Answer
Lily,
You may have a stuck relay that is on and constantly draining your battery.  But your problem definitely sounds like you have a high current short circuit somewhere.  Unfortunately, its real hard to diagnose without physically inspecting the car.  If none of your local mechanics can figure out the problem, you may want to consider having the dealership take a look.  Sorry I coundn't be more help.
Good luck!
