not sure if this is breaking edmund's TOS, but willing to risk it for a fellow sebring convt. owner. try the internet's most famous auction site. (the one with 4 letters) there's always plenty of stuff available for auction, including boots. just type in "chrysler sebring" and you'll see what is available! good luck!
I got a chance to buy a sebring(2000)lxi in very nice cond,with very low miles(25,000) for a great price ~ But I live in the northeast (Maine)where driving conditions can prove to be somewhat stressfull in the winter (which is most of the year) how does the car handle on snowy ( i won't say icey-cause no vehicle handles well on ice) conditions,any input or feedback on this topic would be helpful as i love the vehicle,but it won't do me any good if it can't handle winter conditions . thnx steve
Good luck,

Would anyone know where I could purchase custom talilights for my 2004 Sebing
Bill
Thanks.
My intent is to upgrade the headlights and brake lights to brighter bulbs. I would also be interested in brighetr bulbs for marker lights.
Does anyone have an owner's manual with a bulb application list for the '98 JX?
Also - any experience or advice concerning the much advertised brighetr headlight bulbs?
Any experience or advice about brighter bulbs for the other lights on these cars?
Many thanks

MODELS:
1995 - 1998 (FJ) Avenger/Sebring/Talon
The listed models are shipped from the factory with only one key FOB transmitter. If
a second FOB is added, it must be purchased through MOPAR and is not considered a warrantable item.
Whenever a second FOB is programmed, the original FOB must also be re-programmed. If the original FOB is not re-programmed with the second FOB, the original FOB will not function.
The following two procedures are available to program key FOB transmitters.
Programming Procedures With The DRB III(R).
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle and power it up.
2. Select scan tool stand alone mode, current model year diagnostics, then body.
3. The screen will ask if this is a 95-99 Avenger/Sebring/Talon, select yes.
4. Follow the directions and prompts on the scan tool screen as follows:
a. Close all doors, turn ignition key to off.
b. Turn ignition key to Accessory.
c. Turn ignition key to off, door locks will cycle once (in programming mode).
d. For each key FOB, press any button 3 times in a row to program code. When
programming is complete, the door locks will cycle once.
NOTE:
IF A SECOND KEY FOB REQUIRES PROGRAMMING, IT MUST BE PROGRAMMED WITHIN 1 MINUTE OF
THE FIRST FOB PROGRAMMING. PRESS ANY BUTTON ON THE SECOND FOB 3 TIMES TO PROGRAM
ITS CODE. WHEN PROGRAMMING IS COMPLETE, THE DOOR LOCKS WILL CYCLE ONCE.
5. The programming mode finishes after the following:
a. Programming of two key FOBS is completed.
b. One minute has passed since programming.
c. Scan tool is disconnected.
d. Ignition switch is turned on.
e. Any of the doors are opened.
Manual Programming Procedure (non scan tool)
1. Connect pin 1 of the 16-way data link connector to chassis ground or to pin 4 of
the 16-way data link connector.
2. Close all doors, turn ignition key to off.
3. Turn ignition key to Accessory.
4. Turn ignition key to off, door locks will cycle once (in programming mode).
5. For each key FOB, press any button 3 times in a row to program code. When
programming is complete, the door locks will cycle once.
NOTE:
IF A SECOND KEY FOB REQUIRES PROGRAMMING, IT MUST BE PROGRAMMED WITHIN 1 MINUTE OF
THE FIRST FOB PROGRAMMING. PRESS ANY BUTTON ON THE SECOND FOB 3 TIMES TO PROGRAM
ITS CODE. WHEN PROGRAMMING IS COMPLETE, THE DOOR LOCKS WILL CYCLE ONCE.
6. The programming mode finishes after the following:
a. Programming of two key FOBS is completed.
b. One minute has passed since programming.
c. Pin 1 of 16-way data link connector is removed from ground connection.
d. Ignition switch is turned on.

I recently purchased a used chrysler sebring lxi (99) back in march, and now am concidering making some serious modifications to it something that crossed my mind was dropping in a 6g72tt motor in place of the stock 6g73. my first question would be will the motor fit and secondly how many problems will I run into trying to do something as crazy as that.
Thanks

Did you really expect us to think that anyone named Da Bunny (as in the Energizer) might not have tried changing the batteries?
On the subject of fobs, does anyone know what the term "fob" refers to? Is it an acronym? Is it a name unto itself?
I asked the sales manager, who had spent his entire career selling cars that. He found the question humorous for three reasons. The first is that he had no idea what it meant. The second is that he had never wondered what it meant. And the third is that he had never been asked the question.
Fob - this is actually not an acronym but describes the electronic "key". Fob comes from the use of pocket watches. At one time a man would keep his pocket watch attached to his vest or jacket by a chain. Eventually a decorative element was added to the chain, it was called a fob. This was then adapted to mean anything decorative attached to a chain, like a key fob. Later fobs took on a utilitarian function as electronic door locks would be opened with fobs.
I knew a fob was the chain for pocket watches....but times change and new meanings sprout up everywhere. Who would have thought years ago that a chip would be an electronic part?
So, has anyone had any experience with "fobs gone bad" (I can see a short film parody here)
The whole "bring the title or registration to the dealership and cough up $100" just burns my toast. The thing probably costs 89 cents to make.
Thanks

They also required no title or registration, though that does seem to be a reasonable security precaution that in the big picture protects you.
Before spending that much on a new fob when all you really need is a new battery you might see if you can gently pry it apart and replace the battery.
I just bought an '07 Sebring and the fob has a little notch on one side that appears to be there to allow the owner to replace the battery.
If replacing the battery causes it to lose communication with your car you might see if there's a procedure to program it in your manual without getting the dealer involved. There is one for the '07.
thanks.
Can you tell I am just getting around to looking into this matter again?
New battery - dead fob.
Has anyone used the ones offered at keylessride.com?
