How do i remove and install a starter motor on a 2004 chrysler sebring

Sounds like you may have a bad ignition switch. The ignition has be on to read codes and the ignition must be turned to crank a starter motor

The starter is located on the front of the engine, right above the front motor mount and between the catalytic converter and the engine block.

Sideways, remove bell housing bolts, starter, tork converter bolts, remove CV axles, diconnect transmission lines and electrical connectors, transmission mount, ect.

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.

To install:

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.

REMOVE THE REAR DRUM OR ROTOR,REMOVE DUST CAP FROM BEARING..REMOVE RETAINING NUT..HUB/BEARING WILL SLIDE OFF SPINDLE..REVERSE PROCEDURE TO INSTALL..I HOPE THIS HELPS

My 2004 Sebring did just that. it was a fusible link. a tiny square box in there with the fuses. they are a cube that plugs in about 3/8" of an inch square. Find the bad one replace it and the starter starts working again.

The starter is mounetd to the bottom of the engine either left or right of the fly wheel..
Look for the fly wheel.. Really big round gear.. The starter spinns that big gear & turns the motor..
Good luck..
Rate me good ;o)

look around the bottom of the motor at the rear of the block on both sides. it should have a thick battery cable attached to it and a couple of smaller wires attached to it, one on the solenoid and one one the same terminal as the thick battery cable
hope this helps you

You may sneak it out with small fingers with out pulling out the starter.

If starter removal is required,Just unhook the battery cables,Remove the 2 bolts holding the starter on.
