Top 10 1998 Chrysler Sebring Questions & Answers

I am having trouble also but I need to know how to disconnect the alarm. I would appreciate it if you could help me out seeing that you have disconnected yours. Thank you

Try removing the alarm system relay, some car alarm has also a fuse on the alarm that you can remove.
Many car alarms unlock by inserting and turning car key while you connect the battery.

Take apart the drive box in front of seat track, on both sides with an allen wrench. You can then push the seat to get at the bolts to remove it. My trolley drive motor had bad brushes. I am now looking to replace the motor, if I can find the replacement.

Sounds like it in the switch or the electrical plug at the switch.The electrical plug could be burnt and need repairing or replacing. Need to remove the dash fascia, Careful not to damage clips. If the cover has no visible screws or bolts, then it clips into place. Unbolt heater controls and pull contol forward. Not a fun job but with patience you should be ok.

Replace it with a new relay. That coil in the relay maybe shorted out. This can damage the electronic circuit that controls it if it have not already been damaged. Relays are not too expensive and cost a lot less than a TCM.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. The headlights would be flashing and the cars own horn would be honking. The factory alarm and the door lock mechanism are interconnected and to disconnect it either the factory remote or wire in resistors would be required. As the vehicle uses the Daimler Sentry Key® Vehicle Immobilizer which sends an RF signal to the Body Control Module (BCM) through an antenna located around the ignition cylinder to allow the engine to start only with the proper key, or bypass module. To avoid stalling of the vehicle, bypass is required to rule out its stalling.

Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.


Thanks

If the steering wheel lock is engaged with the wheel turned sharply in either direction - weight of the vehicle at rest on the wheels can cause the steering column and ignition key lock to bind. To get the ignition to turn and unlock, you may have to grasp and turn the wheel or wiggle it a little back and forth to get it to come off the steering lock. This will relieve the pressure and allow you to turn the ignition lock if done right.

2.5L (VIN N) Engine

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Most vehicles will require the removal of the front exhaust pipe. Use penetrating oil on the fasteners to ease removal.
3. Disconnect the starter motor electrical connections.
4. Remove the starter motor mounting bolts and remove the starter.

1. Clean both surfaces of the starter motor flange and the rear plate. This is important since the starter grounds through its case and the transaxle flange to which it attached. Some remanufactured starters may have paint on these areas which should be cleaned off before installation. Install the starter motor onto the transaxle and secure with the retaining bolts. Tighten the bolts to 20-25 ft. lbs. (26-33 Nm).
2. Connect the electrical harness connectors to the starter.
3. Connect the negative battery cable and check the starter for proper operation.

CYLINDER HEAD TORQUE/SEQUENCE:
Use the special tool and a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to 103 - 113 Nm (76 - 83 ft. lbs.) of torque in the order shown in the illustration. Tightening should be done in two or three steps.

CAUTION: Install the head bolt washers with shear droop upward as shown in the illustration
