Car Sound electric Error
I believed I burned my car sound electric while trying to remove the headunit along with the Emergency light and Passenger seat alarm. I pulled pretty hard on one of the cable connector from passenger seat alarm side. Now , my car watch is dead and radio is completely off. Any idea where to look first or should i go straight to Car audio shop for diagnosis ? Model is 2008 Lancer ES. Thanks for the help

inspect the cable\connector that you pulled. verify that all wires exist and are not damaged or snapped.
check operation of other electronics in your car (mirrors?, power windows? AC? etc)
then check fuses
then you would start to follow general troubleshooting and will require a multi meter to continue. If this is out of your scope i would take it to car audio shop or auto electrician or Mitsu.

Hello , Thanks for the reply and answer
Went to dealer / auto electrical . None of them can do that as i broke the ribbon cable . The only options is to replace the whole radio player which is expensive. After searching on google . i found one forum about that ribbon cable. here is the link

Thanks For all the reply . So i just took that out again and try to put it back and look closers.
The cable looks fine but i can't put it back ( too short or i dont know how to put it back) I can still use the hazard light however there's no power for the seat belt alarm anymore . i think i damaged that port and radio is still no where working I checked all the fuse and they all have power so nothing wrong with fuse . what do u guys think ? I Think my CD player is gone

The white ribbon is a FFC (flat flexible cable). You need a 8 pin with 1mm pitch cable. The length depends on what you're doing I'd recommend over 12 inches so you get some slack/play. Should be able to find them locally or on eBay.
Mitsubishi is known for tying lots of unrelated systems together saves them time on the production line. The cable connects the hazards to your headunit and sometimes if broken may set off error codes such as ABS.
