Mine is not a '96, but on this car and others I have owned - not all Chryslers - the location and amperage of each of the fuses has been detailed in the owner's manual. Check there if you haven't already.
A likely cause is a failing instrument cluster.
In the middle (about 195 degrees).
Over temperature warning.
Check your grounding on your temp sending unit.
The fuel level sensor is on the fuel pump, in the fuel tank.
The odometer unit has failed and will need replaced.
You need to check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge.
Are they flipped all the way around? I had my Caravan do the same when the battery went dead. I actually had to remove the gauge cluster and manually move them back. I am not too familiar with the sebring but since they are made by the same parent companies it shouldn't bee that hard to do yourself.
I also have a 2000 Chrysler Sebring which I have owned since 2000 and I love it. I was beginning to have the same problem even sitting in traffic for only a couple seconds would cause the gauge to go up. Now recently when I was sitting in traffic the temperature needle was in the red and the temp. light was on. Thank god traffic started moving again and with in seconds of moving, the needle returned to normal and the light turned off. The car seems to be running fine but concerned I brought it to a Chrysler Dealer and they said it wasn't the thermostat but actually the temperature sensor which had to be replaced. I am not sure what the difference is but they replaced it and it runs normally, no overheating.
If it is just those two that have quit, the cluster has failed.If it is just those two that have quit, the cluster has failed.
The fuel tank sending unit(float) is probably bad.
The Chrysler Sebring is the worst car on gas milage i have ever had and for being a 4 cylinder i will never buy one again I recently purchased a 2003 Chrysler Sebring, 4 cyl. 73,000 original miles, great condition inside and outside. I paid $5300! So far, it gets really good mileage! The only problem I have encountered, so far, is that, after idling for several minutes, the car dies out. Seems to be a common problem, regardless of the year. Also, when the car is below 1/2 tank of gas, the gauge doesn't read properly. I've run out of gas twice with no warning! Bummer!
