Car shape with key symbol inside it. It is part of the anti-theft/immobilizer system that all eclipse have. For car's with alarm, it serves as an indicator that the car alarm has been armed.

Fuel filter wouldn't cause that , Won't start until it sits for a while. Clogged fuel filter , the vehicle wouldn't start at all . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.

This might help.

No way around it the second digit must be entered with the second button, though a specialist might be able to remove the need for a code altogether at a price. Such guys used to be more common and cheaper than they are now. If the button has dropped out leaving a hole in the front panel it might be possible to use something like a toothpick to push the small button on the circuit board that is behind the front panel...

If you can remove the cluster ... light bulbs are fitted to sockets that rotate out of the cluster. A blown bulb usually has smoked glass from the blowout depositing metal on the inside of the bulb. Try moving a working bulb to the speedo and tachometer, and of course replacing any blown bulbs with the same from a parts store. If using a new bulb does not work in the speedo/tach, look for a blown fuse in the fuse panel. Look at the two(?) female cluster connectors on the back: remove any green corrosion/dirt with WD40. If you have a multimeter, trace the speedo/tach circuits from the cluster connectors to the bulbs and hence to ground. There could be a crack in the flex circuit. If the problem persists, there's a more problematic issue in the wiring harness.

get rid of the alarm first

check the wiring , replace fuel pump

if the code shows a cam position sensor then it is the cam position sensor and not the crank position sensor get the car to an accredited service center before it cost more money from inexperienced interference

even if you missed a plug, it should at least turn over. should not be reason why it won't start. check the fuse panels for bad fuses under dash and under hood. its possible you shorted it out when installing the harness. .good luck.... Mike

Use the KEY (not the REMOTE) to UNlock the driver's door or the trunk. Then use the key to START the car, then shut it off. Finally, get out and LOCK the car using the mechanical KEY. That should clear the security system codes caused by disconnecting the battery!

Let the car run & look for any puddles of fuel under the car, if nothing shows up it may be a vacuum leak sucking engine fumes into the car.

Those can both be safety hazards and should be fixed as soon as possible. Not only will a broken filler tube let gas out but it can let other stuff in, possibly causing other issues. And spilling gas/fumes is a fire hazard. The throttle cable sticking could cause an accident. I've changed one for the same problem on an older Honda Accord. It was a little aggravating but not too difficult for anyone mechanically inclined. The gas filler tube may be a little more involved depending on how it's fitted in the car.

Locksmith is your best bet to cut a new key. Dealer maybe able, but a 2000 is worn down. After those, is drilling it out enough to turn it to the run position and pull the lock out.

We don't know what you mean by pull the switch BUT the relay is under the hood in the fuse box and it is most likely stuck, replace it. http://www.theautopartsshop.com/auto+car-usa+parts+year/mitsubishi+eclipse+headlight-relay+2000.html

Lack of fluid.. over working it.. just had enough miles on it and it got old.. basically poorly kept.
