i think its tr, im new to mitsubishis

well heres the problem, went to start my car, heard a clicking noise comming from passanger side under the glove box, also heard a a single click from the engine bay. Thought it may be a starter motor so i tryed hitting it nothing happend. went inside came out it randomly started. drove home tried to start did the same thing. got up in the morning it started drove around the block it started, drove about 3km tried to start same thing, sat there for about half an hour it started it keeps doing this, is it my starter motor or something else ?

Battery or starter motor. Check the alternator output.

it has a brand new batterie, all the lights come on fine, radio works doesnt seem to loose any batterie power but ill still give it a check.
how do i check the alternator output?

Use a volt meter it should be around 14V :)

Um not to sure, my old man took them out use a set of jump leads to test them lol Kinda unsafe but it did the job lol While cranking the car check the voltage getting to the starter motor should be around 12V :)
