I have a 2000 Sebring JX Convertable and you don't know how much I appreciate you doing these videos! I am single and its hard to find the extra money to have someone fix my car when something breaks, but with your help here I can fix it myself for the most part. Thanks again!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! The 5th fuse, in my case, was an EXCELLENT tip!!! I replaced the battery and alternator and the next morning my car was completely dead! There was a parasitic drain, and this helped me passed that until I can find the time to pinpoint the source. And I am not a mechanic, so thank you once again!!!
Thanks... Problem solved. Disconnected modular for air vents because all the air was going to the window defrost and I live in vegas so I disconnected it moving wires around and my interior lights, radio, alarm, door locks and power mirror stopped to work.
Checked all fuses for items all good till you said about the middle one. it was broken. Thanks for your help saved me a lot. Take care. Nick
Thank you so much i really appreciate your time.
Thank you. I completely missed the little batch of relays.
I am so grateful for these videos - he has saved me so much money!
thanks for your prompt response. I'm supposed to be replacing a fuel pump on a 2000 sebring today and just wanted to check everything else first hopefully save the customer some money.
this video save me a lot of money. thx guys
Change the starter relay and start fuze to eliminate those possibilities (they are very inexpensive). Make sure you can turn the engine over by hand. The main other common fail point is the ignition switch in the steering column. It is easy to change and cheap (under $30) but you need a security torx socket (about $8 a set) for some screws. The starter circuit is pretty simple. Also check the battery resting volts. Full charge is 12.7. It needs 12.1 start. Clean Every ground & connection.
Also make sure the light on the rearview mirror is not on. It will not shut off automatically. That seems to happen more often that expected. You can check for parasitic drain at the battery itself with an amp meter. Read the gauge and pull one fuse at a time until you find the source.
Yeah that catch all fuses blown on my car I couldn't figure out what the hell's going on thanks man keep up with these videos.
Thanks Syyenergy! Your video helped me to figure out some things, I have checked the fuse 11, it's fine. I will go to to figure out plan B.
Thx so much I have the 1999 coupe lxi and both my fans ain't spinning and it over heated it was fine the boom lol
If you are talking about the positive stud that goes into the Power Distribution Center then that part needs to replaced. It is basically a main wiring harness and only available through junk yards. I don't know any work around other than maybe epoxy (as long as it makes good electrical contact inside).
The Instrument cluster lights are Fuze 7 (20 amp yellow). If you have only a problem with just the instrument lights, it may be elsewhere other than the fuze. Sometime the switch goes bad or it accumulates dirt inside. Try moving the cluster light switch a lot and see if the lights come on.
Yes, I read every post. The simple thing would be to check for spark for a cheap spark tester. If you have no spark, commonly the distributor is suspect. Let me say it is "common" but not always the reason for ignition failure. You may want to check my video on changing the ignition coil if you want to do that the cheap way. If that part is the original it would be a good idea to change it anyway. They sometimes fail without any warning.
Thanks you are very helpful
Tach and milage on instrument panel is well documented as being overheated resistors on cluster panel board . look for "brown" resistors in corner of board and resolder contacts. works almost every time 15 min. job. Worked on both my sons and my 1997 sebring convertibles
Fuse 11 (Red , 10 amp) located on the left side of the dashboard under the access cover is for the instrument cluster. But it may not be a fuze but rather a bad ground or the Body control module. The Black/Light green wire off of the "C1" red connector on the back of the instrument cluster is the ground. You may need a wiring diagram to trace the problem. It may not be simple, but then it may just be a matter of replugging in the connectors on the back of the instrument cluster.
Thank you much for posting
Great, I love puzzles. I have lots of patience for computer tech, now gonna test car ability:) Mahalo.
There are 2 motors in each seat, so nothing is working you could assume that you may not be getting power to the seat. One of the connectors under the seat has a red and black wire. Red for power an black for ground. Check those. The power seat are not wired though the BCM (Body Control Module) so the BCM would not be the cause. Also check that fuze you replaced with an ohm meter to make sure it did not blow again. If that happened then you have a short someplace.
I'll try this tomorrow when I get the chance to fiddle with it. Thankfully we didn't have it on the road yet for the summer.
Who knows, I may end up towing my wife in it top down with my GXP to give her the convertible experience!
Thanks for the help - I'll let everyone know what happens.
On a 2006, I don't know. That info is in the owners manual and easy to find. On the old Sebrings it's on the left side of the dash. An access panel when you open the drivers door.
No. 8 fuze, 20 amp Yellow, Located inside the car on left side of the dash. You need to open the driver side door and pull off the panel on the side of the dash.
Not sure. Possible to maybe spray something in the mechanism. These seat are actually not cheap to replace because a lot of people use them for older classic cars that need seat belts. Not sure why it would be totally jammed up.
That type of problem (intermittent) is tougher to solve. It could also be fuel related. Try adding 2 cans of Seafoam fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank. If the fuel filter was partially clogged that should clean out the junk temporarily. If solves the problem then have the fuel pump tested for pressure. This would be the 1st thing I would try since it is easy & cheap. It could also be an intermittent problem with either the CPS or distributor. No codes are being thrown?
P302 code mean the number 2 cylinder has a misfire. No. 2 is in the front of the engine (Not under the upper intake) and on the passenger side. Maybe it's a bad ignition wire.
It could be a slight short in the multifunction switch, that controls the headlights and wipers. I did have to replace mine. I do have a video on that. It is a pretty simple thing to change and available on the aftermarket. Autozone even stocks it.
The common fails points in the ignition are the crank position sensor (cps) and the distributor. Sometimes it is guesswork since they don't always throw a code. Most people change the CPS first because it is less expensive. If the CPS is bad you do have to change it and it is best to get the O.E.M. one from Chrysler. If the distributor is bad you can change the ignition coil in the distributor. I have a video on that. If the amp was allowed to dry out without powering it on (cont)
A clogged filter usually gives you warning. Stalling, bad acceleration, etc. versus sudden death. But the simple way to test for fuel is to just spray starting fluid in the intake. If it fires up then you know it's fuel related. Cheap & very easy without any fancy test equipment. I tend to think that is not the problem though. But it will only take 5 minutes to check and cost almost nothing.
It's probably the nozzles themselves. They need to be cleaned with a small needle. Also a small needle is how they are aimed/adjusted to spray the windshield properly.
Try jiggling the wires were it is attached on the rear view mirror. There could also be a corroded connection on the BCM that causes problems. Sometimes I had a hard times figuring electrical problems out and finally just replugged in all the connectors and the problem went away.
Thanks again. I looked in the inside fuse and the bigger one under the hood. I new there was a third one. Back in late 70s i worked in a garage. I should have watched the mechinac. I wss just the parts guy and body work.
thanks for the info it,s been very helpful I,ll let you know what I get figured out
With good spark and fuel, the only thing I can think of is that the valve timing is off or the spark plug wiring order is wrong or the distributor is 18o degrees off.
It is probably fuse 6 (20 amp Yellow) in the Engine compartment. (not the fuzes inside the car) I have all the dealer service manuals & I still am not 100% sure if that is the fuze. That fuze also controls the 4 way hazard flashers. Actually the VTSS (Vehicle Theft Security System) uses a few fuzes since the system goes through the body control module. I think fuze 6 in the engine bay is the main one. Makes sense since the hazard lights are part of the alarm.
Dude you are so awesome, you really don't understand how grateful I am to you. I'll get on it tomorrow. Again thank you
I'm not sure but sometimes when you have a lot of crazy problems like you describe, it is the Body Control Module (BCM) that is bad. Pretty much all non-engine related functions go through the BCM.
If you don't hear the top motor, it could be the relay or the switch itself. Check the motor right at the source to see if it runs. If you replace it, try a good vendor in ebay. Sometime parts can be a great deals. Not sure on the AC. I thought it had a low coolant safety shutoff like most cars do so it would not seize the compressor. They have coolant with dyes that you can check with ultraviolet light and find the leak.
No fan at all? Could b the fan motor, loose wire or maybe the blower motor resistor. Also check to see if the AC compressor actually kicks over when you turn on the AC. If it does not it could possibly just be a fuze or a relay if you are lucky.
(cont).of the instrument cluster. You may want to pull the cluster and plug in the connectors a few times and see if that does it. It is going to be too hard to diagnose this completely over the internet. If a computer is bad, I suspect the PCM not the BCM due to the problem with the tachometer.
Idk, I'll look at the wiring diagrams and get back to you later. You probably need a dealer service manual with all the wiring diagrams to find the trouble. It could be in the BCM also (body control module). Right now I am thinking the BCM due to there being several problems at once.
Ok, the simplest thing would be to try replugging in the connections on the back of the instrument cluster. But it may a lot more involved than that. Electrical problems are not hard when broken down into steps but you you need a wiring diagram and lots of patience. It could be a real puzzle sometimes.
Well it was doing the same thing before i started working on it...put the rotor back in the same place as it was when i replaced the distributor..i have had to timing belt covers off 3 times and all looks fine...
I just got mine from ChryslerPartsDirect. Online dealership. No problems with them at all.
I don't know what they are talking about when they say there is another 40 amp fuze for the seats under the hood. I would suspect the switch itself being the problem. Get a can of electromotive cleaner (Not WD 40) and clean out the seat switches real good. Of course check for power. When a car sits a while any of the switches can mess up. Multifunction switch, ignition switch, power window switches etc.
It could be the ignition switch. Do the lights dim when you turn the key to start?
I have a 2000 dodge stratus that will not start. my cousin was installing a power wire for a amp and wile drilling a hole in the fire wall under the dash the drill bit and pulled threw an nicked the main wire harness skinning a single orange 0r pink wire ( did not cut into ) just a little bit. so after that security light came on an car did that start and stall thing three times then nothing at all.
1997... I lost my temp gauge and my fan doesn't come on. Please Advise.
I also loose my tachometer and gear position indicator. Sometimes they might start out working, but then I loose them.
Thanks, they are a lot cheaper than anywhere else.
If the car was in an accident the belts may need to be replaced. They have some type of explosive mechanism that locks the belt in a more severe accident,
Will do, again thx for your help.
No need to reply to first comment ,after viewing your video . O.M.G Thanks so much finely found a video pertaining to my 98 Sebring Turned out to be a 20 amp fuse God Bless & keep up the good work
2000 JXI: Replacement starter will not spin/engage. Starter motor was tested on bench and spins ok.
When key is turned to start, solenoid plunges but starter does not energize. Would this not indicate starter relay is ok? Is there something else in the high current path to starter that could be blown? Last starter motor was seized and would have caused high current to blow something I'm sure but schematics don't show anything between battery and starter motor. HELP!!
Thank you for the video !
the horn and the lights flashing is the alarm going off, put the key in the driver door and unlock it to the left 2 times and this will shut it off, again turn the key 2 times in the unlock direction to shut off the alarm and all should be well. my wife has this car also.
thank you for this video!!!!
Check the battery volts while trying to crank it over. It should be at least 9.5 volts. But I problem can't be w' the battery if you were using a boost charger. See how many volts you have at the starter itself and also what it drops to when you try to turn it over. I think you have low volts to the starter itself. So someplace has a bad connection between the starter & the battery. Probably corrosion.
Just swap in another fuse or check it with an ohmmeter. If the starter fuse keeps blowing, then the starter is drawing too many amps and probably need to be replaced. Remember also that your lights can work ok with a low battery. Check the battery voltage at rest. A full charge is 12.7 volts at rest. It needs about 12.1 volts to crank over the car. So if it is at 11 volts your lights can work and it will not start.
Hello have a problem with 2000 Sebring convertible cranks over will not run replaced crankshaft sensor,plugs,distributor timing belt and it still will not run and ideas would be great..it has spark and fuel
Pin 55 DarkBlue/Tan wire at the PCM controls the Low speed fan relay & pin 69 DarkBlue/Pink controls the high speed fan relay. Check it for codes. Bad PCM? Try changing the 2 relays for the fans, (very cheap parts). I have a feeling it could be a bad PCM or BCM. If the tach is not working, I'm thinking the PCM. It could be wiring though. Fuze 9 (10amp) feeds the 2 fan relays & also feeds into the instrument cluster w' a LightGreen?Black wire at pin 5 at C2 connector in the back (cont)
You will not like this answer. If it is simple, maybe it is the multi-function switch. You have to test all the wiring. For the washer pump it is a Brown/Dark Blue wire. From the multi-function switch that wire feeds into the Body Control Module (C3) at 22 pin connection at Pin 10. From there is goes out of the 14 pin connection (C1) at Pin 10 (also a Brown/Dark Blue wire). Sometime the problem is the BCM itself. If that is the case. you could probably bypass the BCM in this case.
I have a 2000 Sebring convertible and the blower fan works,but the A/C does not engage.Is this a fuse problem or interior button on the switch knob.
title is clean no accidents. Is there anything else i could do?
Ok ay, thanks for everything bud. Hopefully everything pans out.
Do you have a key fob? Just press unlock.
I put a new temp sensor and thermostat in with no luck. What about loosing the tachometer and gear position indicator. Any suggestions.
thanks for sharing these videos, i have a compatible car a chyrsler cirrus. and we are have electircal problems. brake lights dont work, not burned out. all dash functions will not work when weather is hot but work fine when it is cold includeing windshield wipers. turnsignals, electric seats, head lights, brights, all work, and radio also has no power going to it...the engine and tras sounds great.. what do you think could be the problem?
**My car would crank but not start.
When the car starts, it ends up stalling on the road while driving. After 20-40mn, the car would start back again but then stall when I am at a stop after "slightly shaking and choking".
**My car is a '98 Chrysler Sebring Convertible Jxi 6cyl.
I need some DYI tips. Spent too much already on this car. What should I do to get it working without all the stalling, which is very embarrassing (esp. when my gf is around)? NEED HELPP ASAP. thanks.
The best way to check that is to disconnect it and see if the car drains the battery. If it does not then you know it is the multifunction switch.
Hey, I two issues, first her air conditioner compressor seized up, got it replaced with a used one, got the coolant charge put in, and then it happened again, due to the coolant charge leaking out from somewhere. dont know if you can help, just wondering if you have ever heard of this, and second, the top stopped going down and I am going to go get a new relay for it tomorrow and see if that works, but if not, do you know how hard/realistic it would be to replace the motor if that is the issue?
I have 2 problems, First let me say I have a 1996 convertible sebring JXI 1. The car dies off and on but usually after a minute or so it will start back up. I've been told it is the cranshaft sensor and can that be fixed with out getting a new sensor? and 2. recently my amp under my passenger seat got soaked with water and shorted out and now the front speakers do not work yet the back ones do, is there a way I can fix this without buying a new amp?
I use synthetic oil all the time. I'll use Shell gas quite a bit since that is the closest gas station to me. I thik synthetic oil is better. I also put a little Auto-Rx in the oil every oil change. That stuff actually did stop a lifter from ticking only when cold. No tic noise now and I tried a few things before Auto-Rx. Runs like new and has 250,000 miles.
What fuse/relay is for the alarm? My sons alarm keeps going off for no reason. Wanna pull the fuse for now until we figure it out.
"I have a 1997 chrysler sebring convertible JXi and the rear left passenger window will not work. Is there a fuse for this? All other windows work. Thanks Maryann"
I may be the switch it itself on the door panel. A lot of time you can get parts on ebay for very low cost. I had to place those switched and it fixed that problem you are mentioning. I had the same problem.
Thanks for your reply!
Would the fact the solenoid activates when the key is turned not prove the ign switch and associated relays are functioning correctly? The dashlights are bright, headlights too, and even when connected to 400-amp charger the starter will not spin, even though the solenoid activates. The dash and interior lights do not dim at all like they should. The engine turns easily by hand using a johnson bar. I guess my next check will be the starter cable continuity. Stumped!
how would i know if its a clogged fuel filter preventing it from starting...?...I do hear the fuel pump go on when i initialy turn the key you can hear faint the" humph" noise it makes...
Two Things - First, A/C works on a 2001 Chrysler Sebring Convertible but occasionally stops blowing Cold Air. The man I purchased it from 6 months ago showed me a trick to get it to blow cold air. The trick is to hit the top of the dash. Sure enough, it starts blowing cold air so there is a short somewhere. Just suprised it's in the dash. Second, convertible won't go down. At one point, you could hear the motor but it wouldn't go down. Now, you can't even hear the Motor when pressing the convertible down switch but the windows go down. Is it difficult to change out the convertible motor?
Changing relays is just a guess. But the relays are so cheap that in that case swapping in new parts is not stupid, especially on an old car. A relay can look good on the outside but could be sticking or slightly corroded on the inside. That's why on a car over 10 years old, change out those very inexpensive relays. I don't agree with guessing on swapping parts generally but with cheap stuff that is over a decade old, change it out.
A failing BCM could just present problems after it's heated up. A lot of failing electronics can do that. Sometimes people spray cold air in a can on a component to see if the problem goes away fast.
Hello and thank you. I am working on a 2000 Convertable Sebring and I am not getting power the "catch all fuse" do you where or what wire is to bring power to it so that hopefully I can track down the problem ?
Okay so I went into the fuel injectors. The #2 wiring was screwed so I wrapped it tightly with electric tape and put it back. Now the p0302 code is gone but the p0202 still remains. I switched #2 with #4 injector and it still gave me a p0202 code. I can see a small difference, it's getting there...any advice oh wise one? Everything you said thus far has been spot on.
If you switched injectors and still get P0202 it would have to be the wiring to no. 2 injector
1999 JXi: No power release for the trunk, no rear view mirror lights, service center says that the computer diagnostic plug in has no power. Are these related and, if so, how to remedy? Or is it worse than that? All the other electrical stuff, to the best of my knowledge, is working fine and car runs great.
I have a 2004 Chrysler Sebring convertible I have no power at the fuse box where the fuse goes for the heater switch and heater motor how do I fix relational good
So i had it towed to the dodge place ( after checking all fuses accept the relays behind the power supply that i just seen in your video. any ways the dodge place said that the S.K.I.M module was bad and needed to be replaced.
(con't) then it could be ok as it drys out. Often when things are wet and power is applied, that is when the damage occurs. Still you could get lucky and it may work later on.
Help! I have a the door error going on and off while im driving to the point where i think there is a switch that activates the light and reads door error. I dont know where to locate the wire or switch to stop it completely where do i locate the switch? Seems like it may be in the passenger door. Help!
You may not have seated the wire all the way on the plug. If that is not the case then their is something wrong with the end of the wire and the wire needs to be replaced.
Check the fuzes with an Ohmmeter. They may look ok but that can often fool ya.
can u tell me what u know about truble shoot on front driver seat i pusded the swich for the seat to go all the way back and it totaly stoped working
i cheaked the fuses had to change one it still dont work can u help me.
Is it possible to put the top down by hand if it’s not working
YES
Hi I have a 98 sebring convertable . I put new battery and it dies over night . I jump it and starts, but then I go to start it next day and its just dead. Click nata. should I replace those relays? Thanks
Great video. I have a 2004 Sebring convertible. I am not getting any air for AC or heat. Nothing is blowing. Just stopped two days ago. Could that also be a relay switch? Thanks.
You're saying that car starts fine only with starting fluid? Can you hear the fuel pump turn on? Just to be sure, remove the lower back seat and listen. I know you said the fuel pressure is fine. I'm not sure if I understand everything you are stating.
No start, but cranks over. You have spark. It will start with starting fluid. Do I have that right?
Great video thanks for sharing. I own 1999 jxi convertible, lately my 4way stops flashing after 5 seconds and left/right signal stops after 1 sec. not sure where relay is located, however fuse i think i know and flasher is on steering wheel which i will change. Secondly, did any convertible owners only using synthetic oil? does it help? also does V-power shell gas helps this engine or harms it in long run? I didn't know about relays so thanks for point it out.
Fuse # 8 blows when the key is turned. We tried a new ignition swith. The starter is next but it's a pain to replace. Any other ideas 1st ???
We recently had the spark plugs replaced in my 2000, a couple of days later, I'm at a stop light, and the idle begins stalling. I get home, and the center spark plug is loose. I pushed it back in until it clicked into place, and it works fine. But before I even make it out of the neighborhood it's popped out again, do you have any advice or ideas on how to fix it/what is wrong with it?
hi my 2000 chrsyler seabring 154000 mile car took a dump on me yesterday has fuel no spark checked the asd it,s workingbut theres no spark this car was from florida and was a one owner very well mantained I,ve had it since the end of october 2012 my son has put roughly 15000 miles on it what should I try frist the crank sencer or the modual?
How to fix the alarm. 1998 Sebring it goes off by its self is there a fuse for that or how would I disconnect the alarm
