2000 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE Electrical System Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS CAUGHT FIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RAIN EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

ALARM SYSTEM WILL ACTIVATE MULTIPLE TIMES AUTOMATICALLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARK. WHEN DRIVING, THE DOORS WILL LUCK AND UNLUCK MULTIPLE TIMES AND ALL THE INTERIORS LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AND OFF AT THE SAME TIME THE DOORS WILL LUCK AND UNLUCK.

I HAVE A 2001 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE WITH EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM: THE HORN GOES OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. THE FIRST TIME IT COMPLETELY BURNED OUT BOTH OF THE HORNS, WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR TO BE REPLACED, SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS LONG OUT OF WARRANTY. OF COURSE, THE HORN ALWAYS ACTIVATED ITSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THE CHRYSLER DEALER DIAGNOSIS REVEALED THAT THE HORN SWITCH IS SOMEHOW DEFECTIVE, SOMETHING I FIGURE OUT AFTER BANGING ON THE PAD DURING ONE SCENARIO ONLY TO DISCOVER THIS CAUSED THE HORN TO TURN OFF. THE HORN SWITCH IS DESIGNED AS SOME SORT OF MEMBRANE AND IS NON-CONVENTIONAL BY ANY MEANS. TEMPERATURE EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION CAUSES THE TWO SIDE OF THE SWITCH TO CONNECT ON THEIR OWN. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, YOU CAN ONLY REPLACE THE SWITCH IF YOU REPLACE THE ENTIRE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, A PART WHICH IS QUITE...

I OWN A 2000 JXI CONV,THAT I PURCHASED IN 2006 AND MY REMOTE STOPPED WORKING SO I CHANGED THE BATTERY AND IT STILL WILL NOT WORK AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY. I HAD NEVER NOTICED THAT THERE WAS AN ALARM ON THIS CAR, THERE WAS NEVER ANY FLASHING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I WENT TO ENTER MY CAR THE ALARM WENT OFF, AND WITH THE REMOTE NOT WORKING I COULD NOT STOP THE ALARM, EVEN AFTER STARTING THE CAR, DRIVING WITH LIGHTS FLASHING. NOW THE ALARM SETS MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I EXIT THE CAR, BUT I CANNOT USE THE KEY IN THE DRIVERS DOOR, BECAUSE IT WILL NOR UN-ARM THE ALARM, AND IF THE ALARM DID NOT PREVIOUSLY COME ON WHEN I LOCKED THE CAR IT COME ON WHEN I TRY TO UNLOCK THE CAR. I HAVE TO GO TO THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR...

BRAKE FAILURE, BRAKES FELT SOFT AND MADE A WHISTLING NOISE. *BF THE VEHICLE BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED DUE TO WEAR AND THE ROTORS WERE TURNED. THE HORNS FUSE BLEW WHEN THE CIGARETTE LIGHT WAS USED. *NM
