I have a 1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible, 2.5L that I bought last year. After putting a grand into it, and rarely driving it, I had to replace the battery. It drove fine for a while after that, but now that I've been driving it more I'm having problems starting it. Tonight, it completely died. Just prior to it going "black," the battery or "charging system" light came on. It still drove fine, but the radio would go out, then come back on for the last 10 min. of driving home. The lights did not dim. The car won't start now. No grinding, no noise at all. Total blackness. I checked the security "chip" to make sure it was all the way in (the car won't start without it). 4 days ago a valet parking attendant said he couldn't get my car started, he took the chip out and put it back in and it started and ran just fine. Had the alternator checked a couple of months ago and it was ok. Is it a power drain or damaged crank sensor?
Try checking the secondary ground wire that comes off the battery see if its loose or corroded might help

Thanks and will do. The weird thing is the indicator light that surrounds the ignition switch (where I put the key in) is flashing a green light and ticking very loudly...like an old wind up clock. It's been doing that all night. Also, the security system is still arming. The flashing light and ticking sound only occurs if the key entry is in the "lock" position (with or without the key). Does anybody know if there is a kill switch on the column and if so, how the heck do I override it?
