One possible solution would be that you didn't bleed all the air from the cooling system after replacing the thermostat. The coolant temperature switch is located next to the air bleed valve for the cooling system at the top of the engine. When the cooling system gets air locked(not bled)there is no water passing through the system. Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleed valve, place the other end in the radiator reserviour, open the valve and monitor the fluid and air bubbles through the hose until the fluid runs clear. You may have to bleed the system several times as air is trapped throughout the system and driving will cause the air to eventually move to the top of the engine. As for the oil light. Does the light stay on all the time or only at low idle rpm. I'm sure that you have checked the oil level to see if it is full. The oil pressure sending unit may need to be replaced. Can you check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge to see if it is correct. The 2.7l engine should have 7.5 psi pressure at idle after warm up.

Why does your oil light keeps coming on in your Chrysler sebring 2004 i have changed the oil pump and it comes on when I stop and go off when i accelerate?

The first thing to check is what is the pressure at idle with the engine warm. You will need to instal a manual gauge. If it is above 15 psi, it is an electrical/sensor issue. If it is below 15, it is an internal engine issue.

Where is the door sensor on a 2000 Chrysler sebring?

On my 2000 sebring convertable they are on the door jamb near the part that the door latches on to where the back of the door comes to rest. They look kind of like a bicycle tire stem and are held in by a single screw. After removing the screw, you detach by pressing a little raised tab that release the switch from the wire.
