Replying to: poe4 (Jul 22, 2009 12:03 pm) I have a guy that's going to look at my wiring for my tail lights and interior dash. Did anybody check your wires to make sure nothings rubbing and it shouldn't be or there aren't any lose wires somewhere? You really shouldn't even be driving that car if it smells like somethings burning.I really hope you get that checked out and fixed soon. Replies to this message: poe4 (Aug 20, 2009 5:39 pm)
#239 of 258 Dashboard dead by nanjef Aug 20, 2009 (1:26 pm)
2005 PT convertible turbo. The dash suddenly stopped working. No odometer, fuel gauge, speedometer, etc. Radio works interior lights do not. Car starts and runs fine. Anyone with similar problems? Fuses appear to be fine checked dash fuses with continuity tester.

Replying to: nervoust (Jul 22, 2009 5:38 pm) Thanks for your reply. The dealer checked everything, at first couldn't find anything wrong. Then he burned his finger on the emergency flasher, which he replaced. It hasn't got sizzling hot since, but warm, but only when the lights are on, which isn't often. Haven't smelled anything burning since.
#241 of 258 2003 PT cruiser wont start. by 26ptgirl Aug 24, 2009 (4:56 pm)
I have a used 2003 pt cruiser. About a week ago the electrical light came on while I was driving. (The one that looks like a battery.) After a while the vehicle started to drive funny...Like it didnt have much power. I took it home and parked it. It was starting fine...until one evening (couple days later) when I desided I would drive it. It wouldnt start. The dash would light up but the engine didnt turn over instead I heard clicks. Soooo...We got a new battery. It started but then...it cut off. So now we are thinking it may be the altenator?? Replies to this message: geek5 (Aug 24, 2009 6:42 pm)

#243 of 258 the never ending struggle of the check engine light! by havoc2 Aug 30, 2009 (9:26 pm)
i have a 2002 PT Crusier. check engine light came on one day while driving my roommates to work. i changed all fluids and it remained on. i started to get frustrated for severial reasons. why have so much of the engine depedant on the computer board, or the OBD. needless to say, the light is still on. what would cause the light to remain on after changing all fluids and changing the spark plugs   Replies to this message: billybug (Aug 30, 2009 11:01 pm) nervoust (Aug 31, 2009 5:40 pm) jpf (Sep 01, 2009 8:49 am)

Replying to: havoc2 (Aug 30, 2009 9:26 pm) We had a light. AAmco transmission shops were advertising free diagnosis. Went there and got a code showing the computer had gone bad. Went to Chrysler dealer and had the computer replaced for FREE. There is a federal pollution warranty thing that if car is 8 years or less and less than 80,000 miles, the government has to pay. 2002? probably too many miles by now but you might want to check it out.

Replying to: billybug (Aug 30, 2009 11:01 pm) Ok not quite sure what you mean by had a light. But you're cars computer had gone bad, that I understand. Now my question is what year is your Chrysler or is it still under warranty? My cruiser is a 2007 but mot under warranty anymore do to the mileage. I just found out I need to get my computer fixed or replaced as well but am terrified as to how much it's going to cost. Replies to this message: jpf (Sep 01, 2009 8:49 am)

Replying to: nervoust (Aug 31, 2009 5:40 pm) How many miles are on the 2007 Cruiser? If it's less than 80k, you may be covered. The emissions warranty covers the powertrain module, I believe. The emissions warranty is for 5 or 7 years and I believe 80k. Check your warranty booklet for further info. Good luck.
#247 of 258 pt cruiser power loss at 2500rpm by markll2 Sep 02, 2009 (1:18 am)
i have a serious problem and hope someone can shine some light on the issue. my pt cruisers engine warning light came on and for some reason the car will only rev to 2500rpm then i lose power to the engine untill the revs come down to 2000rpm and the engine kicks back in. this restricts me from pulling off quickly at junctions and i can only get a top speed of 55mph.if anyone has any thoughts on this it would be appreciated as i have taken it to a garage and they havent got a clue they changed a sensor on the car but no different. thanks
