There is an electronic chip in 2000 Chrysler Sebring Convertible ignition keys. The chip is located in the top section of the key, within the black polymer thumb casing. This chip must be programmed to each particular automobile.

Every key has two requirements.

1.) The key must be cut properly allowing the key to turn the ignition switch.

2.) The key must have a functioning, properly programmed chip.

A physical key may be cut properly allowing the key to turn the ignition switch and to start the car. But if the key's chip is not programmed properly, or has failed, when the car's computer system checks the key's chip the car will shut down.
