i'd look for damage to the wiring harness around the left fender...
Bought a car.... he had hit a deer and it is now no longer getting spark. Dealer said that he damaged the left fender and needs a new wiring harness. What should I look for? Which fuses and such should I check? Could it possibly be the alarm system immobilizing it? It's the 2.4 Mivec. 2004 Galant ES. Please help!!!

Could be a lot of things, any pictures of the car?
no pictures yet. I have to bring it home yet. I got it for cheap so hopefully it wont be a real big pita
Pull a spark plug and then crank the car, see if it fires. I would suggest this on each plug. Then do the same thing at the other end of the spark plug wire/coil pack to ensure the end that spark may be failing. Check for any possible blown fuses of course, loose wires, cut or damaged wires from the fuse box under the hood.
And congrats with a new G ride
OMG another one?? you're never going to finish your 8G. lol.
Your driveway MUST be getting full.
No, his STREET is getting full. Lmaooooo.
It's a nice car. I like it.
But here's something I was told. If it was hit and it has anti theft, and the anti theft system wasnt repaired.. wouldnt that keep the car in lock down mode?
Another thing. What about the auto fuel pump shut off when you hit things? My dad told me about this in other cars that if you hit something it turns the fuel pump off until you restart it.
ENG fuse is the one that will shut ignition off. ill come look at it tomorrow after i get done with work.

A dealer that had previously seen the car told me that the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) was replaced and that the VIN is burned into the PCM so without the right one it wont start. But then He said If we wanted we could buy an engine wiring harness and rewire the whole thing it would work.

Did more digging and found a useful site. Mitsubishitechinfo.com . The PCM is reflashable. I called a different dealer to confirm and he told me they could do that. Figures the first dealer wouldn't tell me that.....
well we went thru the wires from the pcm to the dash and found a couple wires melted together. Seperated them and so now were gonna get the pcm to the dealer and have her flashed. Hope for the best guys.
