It you are having a problem of ignition fuse blowing (30 AMP) time to
time.
You should check the fuel pump wires, to do this you have to take the
fuel pump out of the tank and check the two brown wires going to the
pump. I have worked now on six Mitsubishi Diamante which had the same
problem. The two wire rub with each other and lose there insulation at
around 70000 miles. After this they start to arch with each other and
blow the fuse.  All you have to do is cut the wires slide a good
quality shrink rap and solder the wire back and make sure that they
don't rub with each other.  Fuel pump is very easy to take out in this
car. Mitsubishi has given an access hole under the back seat. Only
tricky part is taking apart fuel line, you will need a tool that you
can buy from auto store.

Dealer will charge you $900 to change the fuel pump that you can do
yourself in 30 min.

Make sure the Shrink rap you buy is gasoline compatible otherwise it
will melt.

To take back seat out pull the two round rings at the each end under
the seat. Pull the seat up and slide it out.

PS: Please be careful about the sparks when working near the gas.

This is typical of the designed-in poor quality of Mitsubishi vehicles.
They are very secretive about their problems too and have been known to
bury serious defect information.

The dealer must apply a hazardous procedure surcharge in order to cover the
extra insurance needed for this operation on Mitsubishis, that is all.
