I have an 02 Sebring which has had problems with both the AC and radio. The AC has been blowing out hot air, and after repeated trips to the dealership and re-charging the system it still hasn't been fixed. No leaks have been found,could it be electrical? The radio also will keep shutting off if you hit any button on it as well. If you put a cd in, it will play, and it acts like it resets the radio, but the radio will not work. All fuses seem to be good.

Not sure if these are related or isolated issues, any help would be greatly appreciated as i'm already into the dealer for over $500 and no fix!

 

Has anybody at the dealer checked the electrical connections in the center console to make sure their tight?

 

I tightened the connections---thanks for the suggestion. I'm disappointed that the dealership continued to check for leaks. I also found other reasearch on the radio about a cold soder coming loose in the factory radios. Guess I will be buying a different system for that!

 

sounds like your radio is starting to go.if i was to guess i wound say a factory radio would set you back around 3 to 4 hundred .go after market.and .......did you fix the ac problem?

 

Yes, tightening the connections has worked at least in the short run. I imagine the control unit would need to be replaced eventually, but it sure beats the dealership re-charging the AC system multiple times with no success.

 

hey chsb02,if they are recharging the ac it must have a leak.also there a tsb for your car.its for ac calibration heres the number.24-006-02.contact dealer see if this helps.
