The transmission controls on your vehicle are integrated together with the engine controls in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) It is located behind the right side of the dash. (behing glove box)
The
part you need is a dealer stocking part. There
is an electric motor that turns heater core on and off. It's located
under the dash to the left of the glove box. Some disassembly required.
The part will cost about $120 to $180. part number is #MR958603. I saved
money by
purchasing it on line. It is a stocking part at most Mitsubishi dealers.
Once you pull the glove box out and remove the bottom half of the dash
all the way across, you should be able to gain access to the motor to
replace it. Caution:
if you do not put everything back in correctly and tie/tape it all back
down carefully in the correct places you will have lots of under the
dash noises when you are done. I do not think there is much chance for a
recall on a car that is so old. It is not uncommon for an 8 year old
part fail. Some Galant owners were able to get there cars repainted when
the clear coat came off. But again, it is too late for the rest of us.

This happened in my '01 galant as well. If you take a peek under where the handle used to be, there's a little square nook with a spring and a little plastic tab. take a key and stick it right above the tab and press down, and the glove compartment should just pop right open. If it doesn't work, then it's probably just locked. Just unlock the door and try it again.
I just spent my whole day with the same problem and it looks as if alot of other people have too. You need to replace the control valve. Take your glove box out, then take your center console peice out. Then you have to take the passenger side plastic off. This is the peice that surrounds the glove box. Once you have done this if you look underneath the dash towards the center console you will see a little box with an arm on it that goes down to an aluminium hose. That little box with the arm is the control valve.
