1996 Sebring JX Convertible/ engine schematics

rlsid28 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:24:53 GMT

Hello,
Can someone help me out here. I have a 1996 Chrysler Sebring JX 2dr. convertible. I took to the station to have the omissions done. He told me that my cylinder 5 was misfiring. So I want to know if someone has an engine schematic of my car so I can find the #5 cylinder and replace the spark plug, maybe a wire.....etc. I wanted to do the little stuff first. He said this is probably the cause of my "service engine soon" light is on. He also said it could be a bigger problem but I wanted to start with this first on my own....HELP !!!!! Anyone !!!! PLEASE !!!!

2006 Sebring: Brake light comes on when turning right

I have a 2006 Sebring. The brake light comes on when I make a right turn but then turns off after 2 seconds. Is this an indication that my brakes need to be fixed or is there something else wrong?

Strange shift problems

lattelxi — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:35:54 GMT

I have a '98 Sebring coupe with 155,000 mi., 2.5 V6 and the A604 - still original and "unopened", except for dealer fluid service. After about 90,000 miles or so, I noticed a few simple actions that can wreak havoc on my transmission:

With everything warmed up, accelerating from a standstill at low throttle (<2500rpm) the tranny shifts 1st to 2nd fine, accelerates some more then throws it violently into 3rd, sometimes making a "thud" noise which I imagine are the engine mounts clamping on for dear life...

Less frequently, the EXACT same thing occurs lightly accelerating out of a corner when the transmission goes from 3rd back to 2nd.

If I accelerate harder, the shifts are silky smooth, all the time - even at WOT.

From what I've read and been told, the Solenoid Pack is often to blame for simple shift issues - which is still the original unit... As far as I know the TCM was flashed at last tranny service.. but that's hard to prove. I would love to keep the car for another 155,000 miles but if I'm about to lose some gears or something I'd rather dodge the bullet now.

Any input as to wether to go ahead with a Sol-Pack change or a TCM flash would be greatly appreciated. Any advice as to the possible upcoming failure of my transmission is also appreciated, although not as much. :frown:

Thanks a bunch!
