Hello. There is a yellow button that 'energizes' the release solenoid of your trunk/decklid on your car. That button should be either in the glove box or on the shift console. It does have a 10 amp fuse somewhere in the fuse box. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

There is a circuit board under the glove box about the size of a business card. It controls the settings on your Heating and a/c. The part is about 30 to 50 dollars. Pull it out and if you see burn marks on it , then replace it.

It's an ld Chrysler, they all do it.

Where do you slide the pry tool?

These light's are controlled by the TIPM - Totally Integrated Power Module. Chrysler has know problems with said modules . Suggest you take it to dealer ! Defective TIPM Is Causing Dangerous Power Problems in Chrysler Vehicles

Recheck all work you have done. Sometimes folks replace the wrong coil pack as they can be easily confusing. If everything seems ok, there are still two possibilities. First, ensure that the fuel injector is consistently firing for the cylinder, and also ensure that it is not constantly firing. Either can cause a misfire, one for too little fuel, one for too much fuel. Lastly, check compression in the suspect cylinder. A broken or burnt valve can cause loss of compression, leading to misfires.

Your vehicle has electronic throttle control or drive by- wire as some people call it ! Your best bet would be to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop ! Special tools are needed to diagnose problems with these systems !

The reservoir should be under or behind the back seat. It's a cylinder. There should be a small plug in the side. take the plug out. use a syringe or very small funnel with small hose on it and slowly pour automatic transmission fluid into the hole. when it starts to come back out the hole, it's full.

There are many possible causes of this problem on the convertible Sebrings, the most common problems are as follows; 1) The cargo platform in the trunk is in the wrong position which blocks the rear window from folding downward. Ensure that the cargo platform is in the down position before attempting to operate the top. 2) The Hydraulic pump is low on fluid, it is located in the trunk, in the left rear corner, underneath the carpet. Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir. 3) There is an electrical fault in the system. 4) There is physical damage to one of the panel pivots, inspect for panel binding while the top is moving. A couple questions for you; When the top stops moving can you still hear the pump running or does it go quiet? When the top stops moving does the cluster display "convertible top in operation" or "convertible top malfunction" or something else? Report back with anything you find or if you need further help.

Julia The car will not start because your battery is now faulty. The bad smell from the front of the car is the battery overheating. Being able to jump start the car off another battery is indicative of a bad battery in this case.. The battery is emitting hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas and you will also find corrosion on your battery terminals. When the battery is replaced , as it now must be, it is very important to to check the entire charging system on the vehicle. Your alternator or voltage regulator may be faulty and it is important to ensure the charging system will not start over charging the new battery once it is fully charged.

1. I answered the starting and battery question in your duplicate posting on this question. 2. The air conditioning system requires a drain system to direct condensation (ie water) out of the vehicle. It is quite normal for the air con system to produce water as you know.. If you have water leaking into the car interior when running the aircon it is an indication that the drain is blocked and the water cannot escape. The drain tube runs to the underside of the vehicle and if it is blocked this can often be right at the end of the drain tube under the car. That is the first point to check.
