2000 sebring convertible 2.5l. compressor not getting power

At the relay the wire that goes to the compressor is not lighting up. Theres no power there and its not the relay, the relay is good. I checked it. It engaqes fine with a slave line from the positive at battery to switch at compressor and runs great. Its just that, after the compressor switch, the lone black line that goes from that switch to the relay isnt lighting up. The relay isnt lighting up to send power through the line down to the compressor. 25 amp Fuse is goood.

Check if this is a power wire or earthing wire, do a continuity test , one to chassis ,one to power , if get no continuity then the wire has a break in it somewhere

Testimonial: "Thanks! Will comment back."

I guess it is a chevy? I need year and model to look up wiring diagrams? The system has plenty of refrigerant?
Most relays have a load side and a control side, the control side needs voltage and ground. When relay is energized, the load side carries voltage to component. If voltage to load side of relay, if you unplug relay, use jumper wire on the load side terminals, the component should get voltage.
Did you use a test light to check for voltage at applicable fuse/s? Any applicable trouble codes?

Testimonial: "So sorry about that! It's the 2000 sebring convertible, 2.5L. 1g. No trouble codes. Checked fuses w test light . Full of freon. Yea, relay load side is lighting up fine w test light. So, jumper over to compressor or jumper load side to control side in relays ports? Thanks. Checked everything you said so far. Big help, Thx again!"

    In the relay diagram, the top wire is voltage, hot all the time and fuse protected, load side.
    The second wire down is voltage for control side of relay, fuse protected, different fuse than the top wire. Goes hot with key on.
    I believe the next wire down is ground for control side of relay, grounded by the computer. Hope it helps.

SOURCE: no tail lights or running lights

Next step, replace the Power Distribution Module. It probably has a short in it also. Why in the hell anyone would think it was a good idea to put the fuse box with two circuit boards in it(not properly sealed) is beyond me. I wonder if they would take their lap top into the shower to see if it would still work. Please make a complaint about this poorly designed product at this site. www.nhtsa.gov Chrysler should take responsibility for this problem. I think they keep their company afloat with all the modules they sell.

SOURCE: 2002 Alero defogger

A common thing to fial on these- assumning the grid is ok, and wires are still attched to grid, is the rear def / antenna module. It is behind rt. rear quarter trim panel. The modules burn up, and also melt the connector. the module and connector would need to be replaced.

You have a problem in the fuel pump relay circuit for sure then. I'm betting the relay, but it could be that dropping resistor.

SOURCE: No power for AC compressor

try removing the plug off the low pressure switch on the accumalator plug a paper clip into the plug and turn ac on if it comes on then your low pressure switch is bad or your low on refigerant.

SOURCE: can some post the 1999 gmc sierra wiring diagram

you don't have enough pressure in your system. odds are you have a leak someplace and the factory installed a saftey switch to keep the ac from running when there is no pressure. This way you don't end up burning up your compressor.

Car stuck in park. battery is good power to windows, doors lightst.

By that you mean there is no starter noise, ie It doesn't crank?
In which case look at the main fuse box, the underside of the lid will tell you which fuse and there may be a separate relay box.
Its possible the starter connections are poor, get those looked at.

I have a 2000 Dodge Neon. I drove it to a store and when I got back in the car it would not start. This has happened before and I was told it was the battery cable (broken wires). I had that fixed and...

This sounds like a bad starter but you should of got dash lights and headlights, if there are no headlights or park lights and no dash lights then theres a bad connection, start at the battery remove the terminals and clean posts then follow the groung wire to engine block and make sure theres a good connection to engine, a quick trick is to use jumper cables and connect one end to battery neg terminal and the other end to the engine, a good clean spot of metal and then see if theres power, if there is then its the ground cable to engine, if theres still no power then locate the box that the postive cable goes to, this pos cable goes to the starter and also to a fuse/relay box, check that connection. good day.

Rear window defroster does not work - light says it is on

I have had this same problem with my 2000 Sebring Convertible. I was told that the rear defrost is often a problem in convertibles and hatch-backs. My problem is very obvious though. When I turn the rear defrost on - the light does turn on (as if it was working), but the power does not get through. There are small 'clips' on each side of the window that hold the wires. After time and putting the top up and down, the clips can come off. My passenger side clip is currently hanging - very visible. Many mechanics are afraid to fuss with putting it back on for fear that they cause more damage than good. Look on the sides of the rear window and you may see the problem. Good luck.

I have a 2000 Sebring convertable. I have lost

Sounds like a grounding issue.

You will need a wiring diagram and someone who is good with a multimeter to run it down.

The three systems you identified are all fused from the same location. Which should make running down the bad ground wire a little easier.

Good luck and as always be careful!

2005 sebring convertible- horn goes off by itself for 30 seconds

FIrst off the horn's ground works through the steering wheel,so the wire is bare or the end is broken and grounding in a place where it should not. You will have to check the wires for the horn from the fuse box up to the wheel.
your power feed to the headlights and the door locks has an open ( the power is not connected somewhere ) Perform a wiggle test turn on the headlights and lift the hood,find the power distribution box and begin to wiggle the wire harness.Sometimes the chrysler fuse box under the hood get loose inside the power distribution box,it will have to be broken down all the way to the heavy wires comming out of hte box,you can tighten these connections your self.
