AboutAnthony Falcone Expertise I have been working with (and driving) a first generation Mitsubishi Eclipse for several years. Anything that could go wrong with an Eclipse has probably happened on mine. Fortunately, I have gained a lot of knowledge from experience in repairing these problems myself.
Experience Identifying and repairing problems in mechanical and electrical areas. Plus, I have learned many ways to enhance performance to the incredible engine Mitsubishi put in their early model Turbos.

Question 04 Galant Mitsubishi automatic---When I turned off my, my AC fan would not turn off. I had to start it and turn it off several times before the fan would shut down. Then I noticed the head lights were on. I had to pull the fuse to get it the lights to cut off.
Answer Deanna,
It sounds like you may have a switching problem with one of more relays in your relay box under the hood. Normally the lights and fans will only come on when the key is turned to the ACC and RUN positions. But if they continue to get power with the key removed, then the relay(s) that controls those components is still getting power somehow. Have your mechanic inspect the relays and the ignition switch in the steering column to look for an shorts in the wiring.
Good luck!
