The fuel filter is mounted on the frame above the back of the fuel tank. Remove the fuel pump relay from the power distribution center, then start the engine. Allow it to run until it stalls. Try to start it again and let it run until it stalls. Repeat this procedure until it no longer will start, then turn the ignition off.

  • Step 2 Loosen and lower the fuel tank assembly to get to the fuel filter. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Open the trunk and find the 4-pin connector under the trunk mat on the left side near the base of the shock tower. Disconnect the fuel pump wiring jumper from the body harness.
  • Step 3 Push the body grommet out and feed the jumper completely through the hole in the body. Relieve the fuel system pressure by slowly removing the fuel filter cap. Raise and support the vehicle.
  • Step 4 Put a fuel container under the drain plug, which is on the bottom-left of the fuel tank. Remove the plug and let the fuel drain out. Reinstall the plug and tighten it to 32 inch pounds.
  • Step 5 Disconnect the driver's side fuel tank strap and loosen the passenger's side fuel tank strap. Squeeze the fuel filter hose connector to release the tabs and disconnect the fuel lines. Then, take out the fuel filter.
  • Step 6 Put a bit of engine oil on the ends of the new fuel filter. Connect it to the fuel tubes. Reposition the fuel tank and put the fuel tank straps back on, tightening the bolts to the bolts to 17 foot pounds. Reconnect the fuel pump module connector.
  • Step 7 Connect the negative battery cable. Refill the fuel tank and wipe up any fuel that may have spilled during the filter replacement. Check for fuel leaks when you start your Chrysler Sebri

    Look here first....tell me if you find it:

    A replaceable fuel filter is located in the engine compartment, on the bulkhead, next to the brake booster.

    I have a 1997 sebring lxi. It now will not turn over. I sprayed starter fluid in the intake and it turns over. I changed the fuel pump, fuel filter, and the relay. What else could it be?

    Do you hear the fuel pump coming on normally comes on for approx 10 sec. when you turn key on, if no pump noise fault is still in fuel system, check the fuse and wiring, check for trouble codes, check injectors, etc

    Where is the fuel filter located on a 2004 Chrysler Sebring sedan?

    Some of the Sebrings have two filters(one is called a sock).The sock(which all sebrings have) is located in the fuel tank itself on the pump module.If this model is the JXI then the external filter is located on the belly of the car between the tank and drivers rear seat. I hope I could help!!!

    1999 Chrsler Sebring LXi v6 2.5L. Car dies.

    I had the same problem with my 1999 Chrysler Sebring 2.5L V6 Convertable. It started stalling at intersections; would lose RPMs' and die while driving it; and would not start unless it sat for a few minutes. Once it started, you'd have the scenario start all over again...

    I hadn't kept up my maintenance schedule like I usually do, so I did the usual; I replaced my spark plugs and wires, changed the oil and filters, ect...

    Finally, after it doing the same thing and wasting a ton of time and frustration on the side of the road, I took it to a mechanic that put it on his $9,000 diagnostic machine. The verdict; CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR!

    The Haynes Manual will tell you wrong on its location for the 1999 Lxi 2.5L V6 convertable; it is NOT LOCATED BEHIND THE BATTERY TRAY. The crankshaft position sensor is actually located about 4 to 6 inches below the distributor, which is about dead center of the motor, on the transaxle housing.

    You do have to take off the tire and the skirt cover to get to it. I had to purchase two long socket extensions just to get to the bolt that mounts the sensor to the transaxle housing; but it was well worth the 20 bucks...

    All in all, it took me three hours to find the damn thing, and then to figure out what I needed to take the old one off and get the new one installed.

    The $65 dollars that I spent to find out what the problem was is worth it....

    Now, the car runs better than ever....

    I can't locate the fuel filter on my 2004 chrysler sebring 6 cyl coupe (3000).

    I would check if it is in the gas tank on that model. you can go to your local parts store and they should be able to inform you of this.
