I have a 2001 Mitsubishi mirage. I went in the store for about a minute and when i came back to start it there was no noise. I had the battery checked and its good. I was told that it was the connectors. I cleaned them and the car worked fine for a bit. Now the car clicks when i try to start it. Lights, wipers, and radio work. Before the dash didn't even light up. Help?

Check the alternator fuse. It is either part of the positive battery clamp or it is a square block fuse in the fuse block. When the fuse blows the battery will go dead while you are driving even though the battery and charging system are working perfectly. The clamp style fuse is only available from the dealer. The block fuse is sometimes bolted in but can be purchased at an auto store. If the after market fuse hose bolt holes instead of slots , open the bolt holes and create slots so you can slide the fuse into place with out having to unbolt the entire fuse block to install it.

I own a 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage, ES. Battery is fully charge and car won't turn on. I'm able to listen to a slight click and it doesn't crank.

Even if the battery is fully charged, a dirty or loose connection could cause an interruption in the current flow to the starter. Make sure all connections are free of corrosion and properly tightened.

If, after doing this it still clicks, then your problem may well be a bad solenoid on the starter.

If this turns out to be the case, you can purchase a warrantied rebuilt (or new, if you prefer) starter at your local auto parts store.

Be sure to remember, if you change the starter, to disconnect the battery until the installation is complete, so as to not cause a short if a tool inadvertently touches bare metal while installing.

Good luck!

How do I reset the service engine light on a 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage?

It has to be done with a scanner. Like the ones garages have, unless someone you know ownes one, as they are pricey!! Unhooking the battery will NOT clear codes.
