The Chrysler Sebring (ST-22/JR) from 2001–2006 is available in sedan, coupe, and convertible models, offering versatility and style. It comes equipped with features such as power windows, air conditioning, and advanced safety systems, all of which rely on an intricate electrical system.
The fuse box, typically located under the hood and inside the cabin, houses fuses that protect the car’s essential components, such as the headlights, radio, and climate control system, by cutting off power in case of an electrical overload.
The relays manage higher-power systems like the starter motor, fuel pump, and cooling fans. These relays act as switches, controlling the electrical flow to crucial parts of the vehicle. A faulty relay, such as one controlling the fuel pump, can lead to starting or fuel delivery issues.
Regularly inspecting the fuse box and relays ensures that all features, from power windows to engine start-up, continue to function smoothly, safeguarding the vehicle’s electrical systems and enhancing overall performance.

WARNING
- Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating.
- A fuse with a too-high amperage could damage the electrical part and cause a fire.
- On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause a fire.
- If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and fixed.
- Terminal and harness assignments for individual connectors will vary depending on vehicle equipment level, model, and market.
