The remote control box for Mitsubishi Galant is located above the fuse box. Below is an introduction to Mitsubishi Motors: Mitsubishi Motors is a Japanese multinational automobile manufacturer headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, which became independent from the automotive division of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 1970. In terms of production volume, it was the fifth largest Japanese automobile manufacturer in 2009 and ranked fifteenth globally. History: Mitsubishi Motors produces private cars and light commercial vehicles and is a company under the Mitsubishi Group. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation became independent from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 1970, making it the youngest automobile manufacturing company in Japan's automotive industry. On the other hand, the Mitsubishi Group has a long history of automobile production.

I remember the remote control box location on the Galant is quite common, usually under the dashboard or behind the glove compartment for easy key signal reception. If you're searching yourself, start by removing the glove box to check for a rectangular black box, or inside the center console which may require removing some plastic panels. Once when helping a neighbor fix their car, I found it near the passenger side footwell, close to the fuse box. But I must remind you to handle wires carefully during disassembly—avoid yanking to prevent connector damage, which could cause short circuits or other malfunctions. If you still can't locate it, check the diagrams in your owner's manual or search online for the Galant repair guide specific to your model year, as designs may vary slightly across years. Keep that area clean during routine maintenance, as dust buildup can interfere with signal reception. In short, finding the right spot saves a lot of hassle.

Having driven many older cars, I've always noticed the Galant's remote control box is positioned near the lower left side of the steering wheel or under the center console, designed close to the vehicle's center for easy operation. I recall from past repairs that some models had it relocated—earlier versions might place it behind the glove box, while newer ones hide it in the channel under the seat. If you need to locate it, first test the remote with the key to confirm functionality before searching for the box; avoid unnecessary disassembly. If the box is faulty or displaced, causing intermittent signals that affect locking/unlocking, it can be quite frustrating. In hot weather, the module is prone to overheating, so a concealed spot aids heat dissipation. Always check fuse connections first, as they're common culprits, and avoid tampering with electrical wiring yourself—consult a skilled technician for safety.

For the Mitsubishi Galant, the remote control box is typically installed behind the dashboard or within the center console, near the audio system area, as it needs to handle radio signals. When removing it, be careful not to break the plastic clips—just push gently. If common issues like unresponsiveness occur, try replacing the key battery first to avoid unnecessary searching for the box. The fixed-position design makes repairs more convenient, but avoid frequent contact with electronic components, as static electricity may damage the module. Remember, operating with the power off reduces risks.

How to Use the Vehicle Regeneration Switch?

When the vehicle is driving normally, the two switches on the center console—the self-resetting switch and the regeneration prohibition switch—should remain in their original positions and not be pressed. When the high-temperature emission light comes on, it indicates that the engine's active regeneration has started to take effect, and only then should the self-resetting switch button be pressed. If road conditions are poor and the vehicle's own driving regeneration function cannot fully consume the particulate matter in the DPF, parked regeneration will be required.

What to do if water gets into the headlights of a Sagitar and causes fogging?

The presence of fog inside the headlights is mostly due to a significant temperature difference between the interior of the headlight and the environment. This phenomenon may also occur after the vehicle has driven through water, been washed, or had the engine compartment cleaned, if the accumulated water is not thoroughly dried or drained. However, it generally doesn't require attention and can be ignored, as the fog will usually dissipate on its own after some time of use.
