#78 of 120 starter fuse by dave907 Dec 06, 2008 (11:20 am)
Have a 2001 Sebring convertible with just under 80,000. It seems that when weather gets below 30 degrees, it blows fuse for the starter, radio and gasoline guage. Have had it checked and thus far no shorts found. Anyone have suggestion? I carry a large supply of 20 amp fuses, but that really is no solution.

Replying to: doc18 (Jan 19, 2006 5:32 pm) I know this is going to sound crazy but have the battery tested for a shorted cell.. Drives the ECM (computer) nuts... Had a 99 that did the same thing.. Would start and run but would do all kinds of crazy stuff.. If that doesn't do it my bet is the ECM is bad...   Tim S..

One other thing it could be is the starter, specifically the solenoid portion of the starter.. Could be when cold is shorts out.. BTW 20 amps is a big fuse to blow.. I would get to the bottom of the problem before this thing light up.. Like in that funky burning electrical smell way.   Tim S.. Replies to this message: sunny2zmax (Oct 12, 2009 3:52 pm)

Hey everyone, my car has an electrical problem related to the ignition switch fuse...   It went out on Tuesday, everything was off except for my interior lights, and my door ajar light...   Nothing happened when I turned the key on... NONE of my gauges worked. Turns out, my Ignition SW Mod Fuse keeps blowing.. not sure why and before I spend the $1100 to get it checked out, does anybody have any suggestions as to why my car would keep doing this...   I had it started today, and driving, but as soon as i got to the bottom of the driveway, it shut off again, and kept blowing the fuse... How i got it started was, took off the negative battery terminal, let the computer reset, replaced the burnt fuse while the computer was resetting (the cable was off), and then put the negative terminal back on, and it started and ran for 15 minutes, w/o a problem... it started a total of 5 times before I moved it...   I do have a friend who is mechanically inclined, thank god!!! I did take it to a garage when it died, they don't want to fix it, so i towed it home...   It's a gorgeous car, and just bought new headlight assemblies for it, which i haven't had a chance to install as it died on me... When I meet Lady Luck, she's getting a C*$K-Meat Sandwich!!!   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

#83 of 120 Re: 2006 Sebring Convertible Is Haunted, I Think... [missmychevy] by grossmusic Feb 11, 2009 (8:49 am)
Replying to: missmychevy (Jan 21, 2007 9:26 pm) I never saw this post when I had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM at the same time, & your description could be my car which I bought used in June 07.   The first time the car blew the horn steadily, I was driving in a 4-lane, & I started swearing at the guy in the car next to me to knock it off. It took me a minute to realize it was MY car honking.   Fortunately I had a few miles left on my warranty to get it fixed at the dealer.   The car is still haunted a year later. When I turn on the right turn signal, it makes it all go dim. Works itself out after a minute or so.   Looking at other posts, we could be in for some expensive problems down the road with the electric & heater/AC issues. Hope not. Lesson learned. Get rich so I can afford the repairs. I love this car otherwise! Replies to this message: JeremyH82 (Feb 11, 2009 11:21 am)

Replying to: grossmusic (Feb 11, 2009 8:49 am) I still don't know what the problem is...   Car's sitting in the garage, I am terribly depressed w/o it...   I miss my car, someone tell me something.

Replying to: JeremyH82 (Jan 31, 2009 8:37 pm) Interesting....real time troubleshooting assistance.   My neighbors 2001 Chrysler Sebring just did the same thing. After checking a few things I came in an searched "starting" on this thread. Replaced the blown 20 amp starter/fuel pump fuse in teh engine compartment and the car started right up.   I assume the fuel pump was the cause and may be on its last legs.

Replying to: wwest (Feb 12, 2009 6:27 pm) Mine is the 30 Amp Ignition Switch Fuse in the engine, I got a new electronic part of my ignition switch... I haven't gotten it installed yet, I just haven't had time to get it done, everyone else wants me to do stuff for them, Which I kind of have to do, b/c that's my part time job... I work on consumer's computers at their homes... part time of course, my main job i'm a CIT. Which doesn't provide me with a whole lot of spare time...

#87 of 120 2001 Sebring convertible by mnmountainmman Feb 28, 2009 (11:24 am)
Okay, My 01 Sebring Convertible runs like a dream most of the time. The isssue I am having intermittently is I will be driving and all the dummy lights start to illuminate, the radio skips on and off and the display flashes, gets dim. I turn the car of at my destination. The it is completely dead. No dome light, door lights,door chime, etc...I put the key in the ignition and there is nothing as well. As soon as I apply jumper cables to the jumping posts everythhing is back on and the car fires right up. ( The cars battery is brand new). Then it will run idle, run ok, then i will shut the car off and It will be completely dead again, unitl i touch the jumper cables to it. The strangest issue I have come across. Any Ideas. All fuses are good throughout.
