Chrysler Sebring

Using a multimeter and spark tester will help find the source of a voltage problem on a 2000 Chrysler Sebring. Having a repair manual on hand will troubleshoot the system, but many electrical problems require tedious sifting through wiring to find the faulty short or ground which is causing an issue.

refer to owners manual, better safe than sorry

It is internal to the distributor.

you most likely will have to drop the tank. most fuel pumps are located on top of the fuel tank. when the tank is dropped you will see this round mounted thingy. that's your pump. be careful taking it out since they are 2 separate parts pushed into each other. before going thru all the hassle however, check if your pump is working. somewhere on your engine block is a valve (covered by a rubber or plastic screw), take of the cover and push the valve with a screw driver. you'll have to have the ignition on (but not the engine!) for this test. if you can see (smell) the fuel come out, your fuel pump is most likely ok. I don't know what kind of engine you have, but call Chrysler and ask were the valve is on your block. it should be on the passenger side somewhere.

addition to the above answer:

From SEBRING JXI DRIVE IS LOVE:

I have a Chrysler Sebring Convertible JXi 1999. At the moment, (Sept 9, 2008), it appears I have a failed fuel pump assembly. Further diagnostics to come over the next 48 hours. Partial diagnostics have been completed. I have the factory service manual. As far as I can tell, both from the manual and from visual inspection, there is no Schrader valve on the fuel rail on this car. This is a "one line" fuel system, without a return line. The manual refers to relieving the pressure by removing the relay, then running the car until it dies (this would be great, if the car ran, which it would if the fuel pump were working, in which case I would not be needing to relieve the pressure, etc). Can anybody say Cath-22? Today I released (disconnected) the fuel line connector toward the passenger side of the engine area, to relieve the pressure. There was none. I then cranked the engine, and got no fuel. So either the pump assembly has failed completely, or there is some other aspect of the overall management system that is preventing the voltage going to the pump. The relays have been verified as OK. Incidentally, on this specific car, there are 6 relays in the large fuse box in the engine compartment, and they are all the exact same part number, so they are interchangeable, for testing purposes).The point is, this car HAS NO SCHRADER VALVE (pressure relief valve) as far as I can tell. Many cars over the past two decades do traditionally have Schrader valves on the fuel rail, but this one doesn't (2.5L V-6). I am open to correction, of course. Thank You.

It is located under the car on the oil pan.

You have to buy and replace the entire distributor.

A 2001 Chrysler Sebring does not have a cabin filter.

May have Jumped time, could have a failing distributor cap and coil, failing spark plugs, bad O2 sensors, Bad Throttle body position sensor, the list can go on and on.

A 2002 Chrysler Sebring convertible does not have a maf sensor.

I had the same problem...until I had the coolant in the AC system recharged two years ago

If you are talking about the oil pressure sensor/switch. This is located on the engine itself towards the back firewall. It can be seen from the bottom of the car.

It is behind the engine mount on the radiator side of the engine.

No, the crank sensor reads crankshaft speed. The cam sensor reads camshaft speed. The cam sensor is on the distributor on a 1999 2.5L

There is a problem with the SRS. This is not a DIY repair. Severe injury can occur when working with the SRS. Seek professional help.

oh ugh... oh ugh... this little thing is hard to get to but well worth the effort to replace yourself. up above or behind your pedal there are two switches (it has been a while since i replaced mine so these are general locations) supported by a beam. the switch that is connected to your lights is also part of your cruise control system. there is a connector on the back to unhook once you get it removed from the support beam. the switch will require some force to remove it you just push in the direction that is away from the pedal. once you get it out unhook the connector and remove the old one. that is only 1/3 the battle.. putting it back in is harder than getting it out.. (isn't it always that way?) i recommend hooking the connector back up and then trying to put it back into its place. you have to force it back into the retaining hole and then make sure that it is far enough to contact the brake pedal when it is not pressed. have a friend (or check when its dark before driving) assure that your brake lights are now working. if they are working go out and check if the cruise control cutoff is working by setting your cruise control and pressing the brake. like normal it should deactivate your cruise control speed and allow you to coast. if not the switch is defective.

When a crash is reported by the airbag computer the engine computer shuts off the ASD relay (auto shut down). The ASD relay powers the fuel pump and coil(s).

The starter solenoid is built on the starter.

It is a non serviceable part inside the distributor.

Pop out the bezel around the radio and note the 5/16 bolts (4 of 'em ) holding the main cluster bezel down. Remove the Fuse Access door on the driver side with the door open and remove the 5/16 screw just inside the access area. Remove them and GENTLY pull up on the assembly until it begins to pop out. The entire assembly should lift out from around the instrument cluster. Remove the 4 screws on the cluster (same size as the others) and lift the cluster. Lay the cluster down upside down and CAREFULLY unplug the cluster. One Blue, One Black connector. VIOLA! it's out. Replace in the reverse order.

it has a chain 1 primary and 2 secondary and the engine is an interference engine

unplug the battery for 30 seconds.

First off you posted this in the wrong section. lol

Anyway the light usually comes on when the alternator is no longer charging the battery while driving, most likely it means that either the battery has low voltage or your alternator is becoming a little faulty.

under the dash board where the steering wheel is located

Trouble code P1296 means: No 5 volts to MAP sensor

6" x 9" measured as LxW but you need to be careful with the Depth of the speaker. The size is easy to find and purchase.
