Regarding the below smart pants' answer, I ran into the same bulb replacement problem and it's not as easy as removing the carpeting. This model has a series of bolts to unscrew before you can access the light bulbs area. Still checking if there's an easier way to access.
Buy a repair manual or go to a local auto parts dealer and they can tell you. or take the lens assembly off ( bolts under carpeting) and replace the bulb!!!
I just had to change mine yesterday 4/12/08 you have to open your trunk, look right under where the 3rd brake light is to find wire running to it, twist to pop it out. Hope this helps. B.C.
try turning the switch off
how do i fix the problem if the tcl light comes on in a 2003 mitsubishi galant
Probably need to replace the bulb.
wen I stop at a red light my Mitsubishi galant sound like it is try to stop running
You might want to ensure that the handbrake is completely released; you might also check the brake fluid level.
it will be on the steering coluum almost touching the brake pedal. UNDER the dash. wires plug into it. Also Mitsubishi has recalled this part. Call your dealer or Mitsubishi itself (have the VIN handy).
Sometimes it's the Emergency brake, sometimes it doesnt go all the way down. I had to pull, it release it, pull it, release it etc....
How do I get the code
Open your trunk and find the wires that go to the bulb over the license plate. Twist the base to remove the light.
"la luz encendida en el tablero" = the light is on, over the dashboard (of a car) or "the light that's on, over the dashboard (of a car) "Srs (señores) de un Mitsubishi galant 2002" = gentleman of the Mitsubishi galant 2002 (the car)
The parking brake light stay lit on the 1999 Mitsubishi Montero sport the parking brake is working and you have not put the light off.
