I was working on my 01 galant and had removed the speedometer from the dash. Two wires connect to it, each with about 10-15 pins. My garage door broke and i had to run to the local home depot to get a new spring for the door. The wifes car is stuck inside the garage so I use my car to get there. I don't plug the speedometer back in because i didn't feel like having to take it out again. On the way back the car starts to idle really low. When i get home and come to a complete stop the car idles out. I go to start it back up and get nothing. The battery was completely drained. If i get a new battery the car runs until it drains.

Does anyone have any suggestions if i should get the ecu reprogrammed or what. I don't know what effect unplugging the speedometer has but it seems to just be draining the crap out of my battery.

thanks

Haha, you need to plug teh speedo back in. If you have any problems after that get back to us;)

i did i pluged it back in, but now it idles out and seems to just drain the battery. i don't know if its the alternator though. i may just be running off the battery?

i sent it in to mitsubishi and they were like what we never heard of such a thing.
any other thoughts would be great.
thanks.
