#115 of 120 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
#118 of 120 battery light and others by bk42 Nov 21, 2009 (8:57 pm)
99 sebring convertible; used this year. issues; dead battery, replaced. altanator replaced. Key cylinder replaced. Mechanic said it Might be a computer, because the voltage regulator is in the computer on this vehicle. I took the car to another mechanic. He was able to diagnos the problem! 1st mechanic installed the key cylinder upsidedown! when u turned the key the contacts did not line up. Reinstalled the cylender correctly and all of the electrical problems were solved! Yeah, the car runs like a dream. Love it , so far. Mechanic said, I dont know who worked on your car, but Don't go back. He f------up a basic installation. I don't know if this is fact but, I now have reason to believe that the 1st mech. was bilkin g me.

Replying to: dshelby (Oct 24, 2006 11:36 pm) I have a similar problem. One person wrote in about the white connector on the back of the heat/AC controls. I examined mine, and found a weak solder connection. I re-soldered the 8 connections, which improved the "jiggle the wires" problem. As for the headlights, I've experimented and found that the problem gets worse depending on how bright you have your dashboard lights set to when the headlights are on. Also, the heat/AC problem does not occur if I flash the highbeams, or even hold them on while driving. All of this seems to point to a problem in the multifunction switch itself. This is a large unit that connects both the headlight/turn signal stalk on the left and the windshield wiper stalk on the right. The part costs about $45 at Rock Auto, so I am going to try replacing it. The other possibility is a bad body control module (BCM), which costs about $600 and has to be reset by the dealership to work with your ignition key. Here's hoping the multifunction switch fixes the problem.
