I have a 2003 Mitsubishi Gt.
About 2 weeks ago, all the water sprayed out of my windshield washer pump without me spraying it. Then minutes later my dash lights began flickering. Soon those lights went completely out. I took it to the shop where I was told the pump sprayed whenever my headlights were on, so he disconnected my pump and installed a new battery. On the way home the dash light to see the instruments worked fine but went out in about a half hour. Now the lights do not come on. The lights on the multidisc cd player are on but they are very bright and none of the other radio lights or temperture control lights are on. At times the lights will all begin to dim and then flicker and the panel lights will go on for minutes then shut off.
Recently my passenger tail light went out and the pasenger headlight will only work when on bright. All lights were replaced that were burnt out and the tail light still goes on when the brakes are pushed.
Today, after I removed my key from the ignition, the radio still played and all the exterior lights stayed on. The battery eventually died and I got it jumped. I drove for 1 and a half hours without a problem besides no dash lights, no passenger tail light, no passenger front light, no windshield pump and the power stays on without the key in the ignition.
Any ideas?

I'm unpluugging my negative battery over the night to reset my ECU, but I will take it to a shop tomorrow. I am hoping someone her will have an idea. The ignition tumblers seem to work fine and the alternator would not have let me drive for an hour and a half.
If anyone has an idea I would like to hear it. Also idlf I should move this thread somewhere else, let me know.
Thank you!

I'm no pro, but I know these are known for wiring issues in the dash. Have you smelled any kind of burnt wire smell while all of this was going on? The windshield washer/headlight issue definitely sounds like a short to me. Good luck and please keep us posted when you find out what it was!!
