ok, severe problems ... I have no power and the battery is fine

Here's the story: the car was set for the mechanic to service it today, as he got here the car died and wouldn't start ... after 5 min it decided to work and the service was done (needed a new radiator, but that's another story ... $750 :cry: :!: :cry: ). i went to work and the guy came back with the radiator, so my mum looked after him, they tried starting the car and the problem was back and now nothing works at all, no stereo, no lights, no central lockin and no starter moter.

i just installed a head unit and rear speakers and my mum thinks we blew a fuse or somthin ... despite it being a few weeks ago and the stereo being down for over a week

the auto electrition is comming 2moro because mitsubishi (being themselves) have no idea about anything, and i was hoping that some1 could help me

sorry bout the long explanation but i have no idea whats happening here.

ok ... she's back alive ... when we did the HU it was done perfectly ... i'd almost put it at profesional level i'm so happy with it ... the problem was with the battery ... one of the terminal's decided 2 be tempromental and worked only half the time, which is why the thing died and then restarted. also why it tested properly with the first mechanic. it was a simple battery change ... sorry to let everyone down ... i'm not gettin a new ECU :cry:
