Problem overview

Some Chrysler Sebring owners report experiencing starting issues characterized by a clicking sound while the lights and radio still function. This problem is often attributed to a weak battery that can activate the solenoid but lacks sufficient charge to power the starter. Additionally, the clicking noise may indicate that the starter solenoid is attempting to engage without enough power to turn over the engine. Owners may also encounter problems due to corroded or loose battery connections, which can hinder electrical current flow. Fuel-related issues, such as inadequate fuel entering the combustion chamber, and ignition problems, such as a lack of spark, can further prevent the engine from starting. If these issues arise, it is recommended to check the battery's condition, ensure clean and tight connections, test the starter solenoid, verify the fuel system's functionality, and inspect the ignition system for faults. If these measures do not resolve the problem, consulting a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis may be necessary.
