Hello there! So, I know very little about cars and mine is starting to fall apart on me. Any and all help is much appreciated!

I have a 1999 Sebring Convertible JXI. It's a V6, and I am unsure of the engine specifics at this moment, but I can check if needed. I've had this car since 2001 and until recently it has been a great car.

Last week I had the external fan replaced. I thought it was a thermostat issue, but the fan was dead. Once replaced, the car was working fine until a few days ago. First, the AC started malfunctioning. It would only work when set on the highest setting (4). As of today, the AC no longer works on any setting, nor does the radio, the power windows, turn signals, or windshield wipers. I assume this must be an electrical issue of some sort. I thought it might be a fuse, but with so many different areas affected I figure it has to be something larger. As I said before, I know very little about cars, so if anyone has any ideas as to what could be happening here, I would greatly appreciate your input. I do know that one or more of the lifters are bad, but since that is an issue with the engine, I doubt it has much to do with the electrical issues, but I could be wrong. I am planning on getting that fixed this week, so I'm hoping to get the electrical issue solved as well. However, I am on a limited budget and can't really afford too much. The guy I'm taking it to is charging $125 for labor + the cost of the parts for the lifter(s). So I'm worried about how much this electrical issue will cost on top of that, but if someone could tell me your opinion on what the problem is, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

 

Well Now....

You are going to figure this out for yourself, In two easy steps.....

What do ALL of those things have in common...??????

They all require The Key to be turned On.....

So...Tell me where youre going to start looking?????

 

C'mon now, Dont be shy......

Ok, ...The answer is....

You are missing an Ignition feed. More than Likely, If you wiggle your ignition key back and forth, You can get all that stuff to work again, But the ignition switch will need to be replaced.

 

Thanks!
