I need to factory reset my 2000 Mitsubishi Galant alarm. Bought it used, so I have no remote. It is not working right (sporadic, and runs without sound at strange times, sometimes for no reason at all). My battery was out of the car for a day or so, until I could go buy a new one (after that is when all of this started).

There is no factory reset for the alarm sys. But if you are lucky and have left and right doors with key locks try turning it of from the passenger side lock. The biggest issue I've seen with that system is the switch that hooks to the key lock assembly fall of of the lock tumbler or gets broken of buy trying to bust into the car. Also check the hood switch it's on the left side front fender under the hood.

SOURCE: new battery, can't reset alarm

remove the alarm,their might be a passive switch on the alarm to turn it off with a special key,if you dont have the key break the lock so you can turn it off or try to open case of alarm and look at wires and then dertimine which ones to join or break,every alarm inside is different so you will have to work it out.

Your problem may be one of the following:
First check or just replace the fuel filter. Usually located under the car in front of the rear axle, drivers side.
Next, the fuel pump may be worn out. Usually they get loud or stop working (running).
Next, check the fuel pressure regulator. Usually located on the front fuel rail, drivers side.
Is the vacuum line attached? Not leaking or rotted?
Also, do you smell a strong fuel odor when it won't start? May be one or more stuck-open injectors, or the coil pack is bad.
Checking these in the order listed will more than likely fix your problem.
The clicking noise indicates the battery can no longer run the starter, which also means the fuel pump won't run either.

It could be a fuel issue. How old is the fuel filter? Can you hear the pump run for a few seconds when you turn the key on? Try turning the key to ON without trying to start engine three times waiting for the pump to stop running each time. Then try to start the engine. If it starts, Its a form of Vapor lock caused by the extreme heat we have had lately, and a weak fuel pump.

If none of this works, try a new fuel filter first. From there have someone check the fuel pressure regulator and then the pump. If you are in need of a new pump, take my word for it and spend the money to get one from a Dealer, and not from your favorite parts store. Most parts store parts are made in China and they are JUNK.

How do i disable the anti theft of a 2012 Mitsubishi Galant...i lost the alarm remote...is there a fuse under the hood

Disabling the anti theft system isn't that easy! If it was more cars would get stolen! Take the car to a good auto electrician or an alarm specialist they might be able to sort you a replacement remote. If it was a factory fit alarm contact a dealership and ask them what they could do.

Call a mitsubishi dealer and have your VIN ready and tell then the story. They will have the code to reset the radio.
