Need electrical help!!!

[SnoEclipse]

On your EVO the MFS doesn't rotate with the steering wheel does it? If the MFS is fixed in place on the steering column the clockspring will have nothing to do with it.

The left and right side MFS on many Mitsu cars is still a Chrysler part. That particular MFS has been known to overheat and melt the socket just enough to shove the wiring harness out of contact on pretty much any model of Chrysler from 1999 to 2005. Chrysler allegedly fixed the problem in 2005 but that doesn't mean that there weren't still 'bad' parts in the system when your car was built.

An '06 should still be under warranty unless it's an early build model.

A new MFS is about $40. It's a PITA to change out though.

Also, since it's used car, did you get a carfax on it? From time to time a truckload of flood/hurricane damaged cars turn up here. The main hassle with those cars is that electrical problems will start to show up about 12-18 months after the initial water damage. All kinds of weird stuff can occur like MFS problems and airbag/clockspring problems.

Sometimes the 'rebuilders' will strip the airbag modules out (they go for $300-500 on the aftermarket) and jumper a cheater plug in to fake out the SRS lights. It's illegal but it still happens.

But if you did ANY messing around with the seats, yes DO check the wiring harness underneath. And beware that you really should disconnect the battery before messing with the SRS so that you don't get an accidential airbag 'discharge'.
