Question is kind of vague. I think your saying your battery light is staying on and your battery is not charged.I would have to say your alternator is not working.

SOURCE: 2000 mitsubishi eclipse dies when idling

What you have is PROBABLY a bad Idle Air Control stepper motor... if the car stays running with your foot on the gas, and only dies when you let your foot OFF the gas... or if it dies when you shift (again, cause you foot is off the gas) that is definitely the problem. The stepper motors are kind of pricey (over $300) at the dealership, but you should be able to get one from an auto parts store for 150 or so. easy as heck to replace, it has three 8MM bolts into the throttle body, just unplug it, unscrew the bolts, and put the new one in... just be sure to be careful with the new o-ring... DON'T LOSE IT! :)

Good luck!

SOURCE: replacing front rotors on 2004 mitsubishi galant

Sandy, I can only assume that you have fixed whatever issue you were having by now since this post is about 4 months old but, I'd like to give an answer anyway. In order to remove the rotors you obviously have to remove the wheel first. Next you have to remove the brake caliper. To do that you usually need to slightly compress the caliper by squeezing it with a large C-clamp. After it's loose, remove the two hex head bolts, one upper and one lower, that hold the caliper in place. At this point there might be a small ring clip or two around one or two of the lug nut studs that need to be removed. A chisel, heavy wire cutters, or needle nose pliers work well to remove the ring clips. If the rotor doesn't just fall off in your hand, give it a little love tap with a hammer to loosen it and you should be all set. Please let us know how it goes. Thanks.

SOURCE: mitsubishi galant 2004 key stuck in ignition

1st Remove Battery cable from Battery because the only time the air bags will deploy is when the key is in the ignition. I have tilt steering and when I put the steering wheel in the up most position. I came right out. But now it seems to stick more lately.

SOURCE: After starting car check engine

Diagnosis must begin with scanning your Engine Control Module to find out why it has turned the light on. The car may seem to be running OK, but there is probably a problem that is causing you to use excessive fuel and/or is threatening to destroy some high dollar parts like your catalytic converter.

How do you know if the alterator on my 99 galant is bad

Have you got a dvom digital volt ohm multimeter if so connect it to the battery using the dc volts scale the battery should read 12.5- 12.75 volts with the motor off. Then leave it hooked up and start the motor, it should read about 13.5-14.5 volts when running if volts are less than this altenator is no good.

Labor cost for changing a transmission filter

Changing the filter will also include changing the fluid also. This service will cost you from $50.00 to $90.00 real world depends on where you go for the service. They may try to tack on other charges but stay firm on what it is you want done. If you go to a quick oil change service place, watch out for these other charges. Flush, or Flush kit, these will cost you much more.

Installed new battery today and the car will not stay cranked

If your new battery is going dead check the fuse that is part of the positive battery terminal. If it is blown the battery will not charge and the no charge warning light will not come on. There is a clear window on the positive battery terminal, use a light and make sure the thin wire is not broken or melted. It is a dealer part that will cost between $10 and $20 dollars.

2004 galant wont start PLEASE HELP

Sure sounds like the battery to me. It may also stem from a problem with the charging system. Take the battery to a servo and have it tested before you buy a new one. If it tests good then you will need your alternator or charging system repaired.

2000 Mitsubishi Galant Dying at Random

It seems like a ground problem. First check all fuses to see that they have a good contact. Second, verify the battery terminals for good contact. Third verify the charging condition in the alternator battery system., remember shoul be around 14volts with car running.
