Chrysler Repair: Chrysler Sebring JR 2002, chrysler sebring, malaga spain


Question
Hello, I write your from Malaga (Spain). My Sebring JR 2002 2.0i sometimes when I want to close the doors from the remote control, the doors don´t close, I can hear noise but don´t close. I push a lot of time the remote control and in five, ten or more times at the end the doors close. With the indor switch is the same problem. Sorry for my english but I expect you can understand me. For open the door no problem. Thanks.

Answer
Hi Paco,
Is it all doors that are giving trouble, or just one? If one only, then replacing the door lock/unlock motor on that door would likely solve the problem. If it is all the doors aren't locking, then I would believe it is the electrical circuit that tells the door locks to lock that is the problem and we can look into what that might be caused by.
I would be inclined to give up on the power door locks entirely at this point. You can just as well lock the door with a key, or even better just use the interior push-buttons to lock the door as you are exiting. That way you will not 'set' the theft system which has its own problems when it breaks down, such as not letting you start the vehicle the next time you want to go. At some point in time you may get into that issue due to aging of the wiring/parts.
If you can 'live' with not having power locks, you might avoid a greater problem later. If theft is an issue, then just lock the door with the key which sets the alarm up, but avoids the power lock motor issue.
