#108 of 117 Re: 2000 Sebring JXI Convert. [confused06] by npvesc Sep 11, 2009 (10:40 am)
Replying to: confused06 (Sep 11, 2009 9:27 am) Yes - it turned out to be one of those "parasitic drains" you might have read about. In my case it was the fuse that controls the radio and interior lights. I'm sure there is a better way to fix it, but I just installed a switch that controls that fuse. I only turn it on when I'm using the car. Otherwise, the fuse is cut off from the battery. My friend had to go through the fuse box one by one and pull them while measuring the battery charge to figure out where the problem was coming from. Hope this helps.

Replying to: confused06 (Sep 11, 2009 9:27 am) If you read my problem it is that the airbag light is constantly on, the cruise control does not work and I have no horn. This all began with a crack noise that I heard which seemed to come from the steering column which it did. My mechanic said that it is some kind of coil that went within the steering column and he has the part on order for me but said it may take six months to get it. I am still driving the car okay without it, It just means if I get into an accident the airbag won't go off. It has nothing to do with the battery. I have not had any problems with my battery at all. I recently had my timing chain tensioner go and had to replace it, which cost me $500. I don't know yet what the replacement of this coil will cost. My Sebring is a 2001.

Replying to: ritzcrker (Sep 12, 2009 8:15 am) A few months ago I had the same thing with the horn, cruise control and air bag. My mechanic had a part for it in 3 days. He replaced something called the coil spring. I think it may have cost about $180 to fix.   At this same time the car radio had started only working on occastion. Within a month or two I started having the rest of the electrical problems.

#115 of 117 Ignition/Radio/Top Fuse continues to blow by sunny2zmax Oct 12, 2009 (8:43 am)
Help! 1998 Sebring Convertible Battery less than two years old and yet engine will not turn over or top will not operate nor radio. Great lights and other signals. Replaced fuse--no problems for about thirty miles. Now new fuses continue to blow and car will no longer start. Anybody else have this problem? Would appreciate any help thanks, Sunny

Replying to: silverstone7 (Jan 13, 2009 2:21 pm) Welllllll, I live in Florida and it's still in the 90's so I don't think the cold has a bunch to do with it but would LOVE to know what does. Fuse blows now just moments after install and I can't start the damn thing or raise the top or have any radio! Only have 63,000 miles on car and battery is less than 2 years old. Suggestions? Please don't tell me to go NORTH! (LOL) Sunny

Replying to: JeremyH82 (Feb 13, 2009 6:18 am) Jeremy,  Sounds as though we have/hopefully had the same problem. My new fuses blow now almost immediately afer I put them in. What did you finally do to resolve the continued no start problem. Battery less than 2 years, 63,000 miles full lights etc but no start, radio or top will not operate. Now even the new fuses don't seem to do any good. Please help.. Thanks Sunny
