Wiring problems of the 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Prolonged wiring harness contact with the heat shield causes the wiring insulation to wear & ground out causing the engine to die-out. Had an iccident few days ago where the engine died out and I was in the middle of an intersection and almost got hit by oncoming traffic . This is seriously not okay and a major safety concern. Please help me.

Failure of headlight harnesses on a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Both headlamps out on 9/12/06 after first finding was fixed. Lights would not come on until left side harness was wiggled.

One headlight went dim a month before they both went out entirely and simultaneously. Upon inspection, discovered the plastic wiring terminal that connects to the headlight bulb had melted around the same wire on each connector. No fuses were blown and all the filaments were intact in the bulbs. Suspect that arcing occurred in the defective wire causing the connector to melt.

Contact states that her son's vehicle head lamps go out. The wiring harness melted the plug which in turn made the head lamps go out without warning.

Contact owns a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. Contact took vehicle to dealer to have colored halogen lights enhancers put in, and the mechanic let the contact know that the wiring harness melted on the halogen lights. The vehicle is at the dealership. They would not let the contact drive it home because it was a fire hazard. The parts will be in on 10-13-05. The dealership gave the contact a loaner vehicle. The cost was going to be more than the extended warranty. T $200 deductible the contact will have to pay out of her pocket.

Headlights on my 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse keep going off when driving at night whether I hit a slight or major bump in the road. I pulled the plug from the back of the headlamps and found the actual plug and lead wires were melted, making contact. I tried to fix the problem by separating the touching wires where the insulation had melted and the headlight contacts were touching. Lights still go out unpredictably.

I've previously owned 2 Eclipses w/ no problems, this one however has been nothing but a lemon. 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse gt v6. In addition to the clutch which had to be replaced 1 yr after warranty expired, I have had an abundance of problems w/ parts that should never need to be replaced, none have been covered by warranty. I have replaced every sway bar twice, the a/c failed, the antenna embedded in the rear window failed, one oxygen sensor, the middle rear brake light wiring broke, 2 catalytic converters failed. And the worst is I was going through a headlight a month only to discover that the headlights had actually melted the to the connectors on both sides! and now I may have an electrical fault or faulty valve in my a/c unit causing my heat to kick on when the a/c is turned on.
