Mine did the same thing and it was the internal turbo charger. The dealership fixed it about 6 months ago and it was working great, but it has started happening again.

Around how much does that cost to have fixed?

I’ll let you know if I ever find out. Still no luck with the dealership. Even contacted Chrysler but all they did was tell me to contact the dealership. Big help.

No fuse light on!? by germanguy675

I recently bought a 2006 pt cruiser with 16000 miles on it and am very happy but something strange happened the other night while driving.I was driving home and the interior lights,radio,air conditioner stopped working.I noticed in the farthest right gauge a "no Fuse light" was on.I figured I blew a fuse and replaced suspected fuse but problem continues off and on.When this happens doors will not unlock from remote,ignition is delayed and it seems like the computer keeps reseting itself.P.S suspected fuse looked fine.Have an appointment with dealer Monday.Any ideas or suggestions.Thanks,Michael

It has even been reset but still omes back on.
 
If a fault still exists the CEL will keep reappearing until it is corrected.
 
Have you had it scanned for any fault codes? Places like AutoZone will do this for free.

I had the same problem. When I put my headlights on I also saw smoke coming out of my steering column. There was also a burning smell. I took my car to the mechanic and he replaced the headlight switch. Because of the airbag my mechanic said he had to disconnect the battery. That problem is solved but my CD player has not worked since I picked up the car. The radio works and only displays AM & FM, the CD function is gone.

Hi,
 
I'm experiencing this exact same issue and have had no luck getting the dealer to find anything. Did you figure out what the issue was?
 
Thanks

Update to this post: Started having several problems with the car--first the fog lights and the drain on the battery, then headlights started burning out. At 94k miles, I took my PT into a local, trustworthy repair shop. They checked out the car and informed me that the computer chip in my car was faulty--something that they said was very rare. Sent me to the dealer because only the dealer can address that issue and program the computer chip. The dealer checked out my car and told me the fog light issue was a result of the "multifunction switch," which had to be replaced. Unfortunately, the computer chip was also faulty, so that had to be replaced too. Additionally, two of my engine mounts were broken. Thankfully I had elected to have mechanical breakdown insurance on the car. The insurance company had an adjuster come out to the dealership to verify all that was wrong with the car, and paid for about 50% of the cost of the repairs. Still, about $1,300 out of pocket for me. The problems I was having have been resolved.

I HAVE A 2006 PT CRUISER. THE CIRCLE AROUND THE A/C KNOB AND INSTRUMENT PANEL GET VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH. IT WOULD BURN A CHILDS FINGER OR YOUR OWN IF YOU LEFT IT THER VERY LONG. THE REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND IT STILL DOES IT. I'M AFRAID ITS GOING TO CATCH FIRE. IT SEEMS TO DO IT WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. ANY BODY ELSE HAVE THAT PROBLEM AND IF SO HOW DID YOU FIX IT.
