Description of the problem	In the morning, i drove this mitsubishi eclipse 2005 to work(35 miles away from home), it was ok. After work, i drove back to my house, entered our garage, i got off the car, i saw a small fire on the right front lighting place, then i quickly backed my car out of the garage, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, my wife and i use a lot of water to put the fire out... This fire burned out the front light, bulb, some wire, and small piece of right front bumper... Then i tried this car again, i could drive it, but it has no turning signal. I drove this car to 2 different car shops, one is a local car shop, they worked on my car for 1 month, but they could not fix it. Then i drove this car to a mitsubishi dealer, they worked on my car for 2 months, they could not figure out the exact problem... Right now this car is still with no turning signal, and i can't drive it.
