My power door locks mysteriously quit working the other day .. both of them, at the same time. I kept hitting the button and kept hearing the relay *CLICK* in the dash.. Never heard it do that before. So today, after i reseated a blown off intercooler pipe and adjusted and tightened some of the other joints i was in the mood and decided to try and track down the relay that was clicking so loudly.. Well i found it. In the center console. Under the DIN unit. it one of those places Mitsubishi engineers decided would be so accessable. Tried to get to it from the side, couldn't, tried to get it from the other side, couldn't.. Had to pull the console apart.

Well, the damn relay's burnt up. pull it out, button does nothing .. put the relay back in, and if the doors are locked, it unlocks them. Try to lock the doors, relay clicks, doors hum, nothing. It's a $30 relay, too :-( Damn car.. I never get a break...

I have had nothing but bad luck with every vehicle that had poer locks and windows. LOL, sux though...hope you get it fixed!

LoL! I've had this car for two years and this is the only power related issue i've ever had ;-)

I figure, replace the relay, if that doesn't fix it, well.. Something else will. Something expensive. Like pistons and rods and rings...

what kind of relay is it?? (spdt, dpdt, spst) you should be able to just get one from autozone, or any stereo shop. I've got 100+ if you need one.

the reason I made sure to get power windows/locks/sunroof/mirrors is because I was sick of installing locks and windows in all my cars.

It's non-standard relay. It's probably dpdt, but it has a mitsu harness connector on it :-)

Ordered it for $30 from my local dealership.

i may be having a simular problem. well first off the drivers side power lock didnt work when i first got the car, but when i got my alarm installed it mysteriously started to work, but they act up every once and awhile working, not working, kinda anoying because when i arm my alarm it locks the doors, but i have to check it to make sure they locked. i get the clicking sound too, so maybe we have the same problem, considering we both have 95's and such. let me know what happens with that relay, cause if that's it then it's alot easier than having to get a new actuator, cause that's what i was told it was in the begging.
