How to Fix Car Electrical Problems - Strange problems, poor running
How to Fix Car Electrical Problems - Strange problems, poor running
Sometimes difficult to diagnose car electrical problems are due to dirty or corroded grounds or the pins on the connections for the engine management system or any of the sensors. All the parts may be good and it will be a real mystery why a car has intermittent problems with poor idle, poor performance, hard starting only sometimes, stalling or occasional misfire at times or runs perfect at other times. You don't want to just visually check the pins on the engine wiring connections, but you want to also physically clean them with a fine wire brush and then spray them with electromotive cleaner. After you clean the connections thoroughly, physically plug in all the connections several times to make sure they are making good electrical contact..

Using a Car Battery Hydrometer - testing each cell
Using a Car Battery Hydrometer - testing each cell
This is how to test each cell in a car battery and find out which cells are weak or dead cells. The automotive battery may hold a resting charge at 12.7 volts and appear to be good, but a battery hydrometer will tell you & find what is the real condition of each battery cell. A battery hydrometer can also alert you as to when a car battery is starting to fail and this way you can replace the battery before you get stranded on the road somewhere. Sometimes a borderline weak car battery can be improves by doing a slow, low amps overcharge. This may work to desulfate the plates on an automotive battery, as long as you watch you do not overheat the battery during the charging process and keep the plates covered with distilled water.
Don't get stranded with a bad battery. Test your car battery the right way..
This will also help avoid a frozen car battery in the winter and hard cold starting problems. The battery electrolyte will keep the battery from freezing and bursting in the cold winter.

Chrysler Sebring - Replacing Disc Brake Pads.
Chrysler Sebring - Replacing Disc Brake Pads.
When replacing brake pad on a Chrysler Sebring It is best to get brake pads that are better quality than the original brake pads, because the OEM brake pads are pretty weak and can heat up easily since they are a little undersized for the weight of the vehicle. It used high quality ceramic brake pads. Before actually installing the new brake pads, it is best to push the piston all the way into the brake caliber so that there is a enough room to slip the brake assembly over the rotor. Also, if you are changing brake rotors at this time, you might find that they could be rusted on solid. The brake rotors are supposed to slide right off, but you may need a block of wood and a hammer to get them loose.

Chrysler Sebring Convertible - Wheel Hub Install.
Chrysler Sebring Convertible - Wheel Hub Install.
A bad wheel bearing will make noise at most speeds. The real indicator that a wheel noise is a bearing or hub assembly is when you turn the steering wheel in one direction the noise disappears or is greatly reduced and when you turn the steering wheel in the other direction the noise is increased. To remove the wheel bearing hub on the Chrysler Sebring convertible you are going to need a E14 inverted torx socket, so if you don't have one, get one before you start. You will also need to separate the lower ball joint to pull the spindle away from the axle to get at the bolts that hold on the wheel bearing hub. The torque I used to install the wheel bearing hub (3 bolts) was 65 ft-lbs. The main driveshaft nut was torqued to about 170 ft-lbs. Do NOT use and impact to install this nut. I used an impact to REMOVE it. The lower joint castle nut was torqued to 55 ft-lbs.
