I have a 98 Chrysler Sebring convertible. Recently the battery is dead after leaving it for about 2 hours. Always jump starts. The Sears guy used a battery tester and said it looks ok. Also did not show any short circuit on his tester. Said give it a long drive. Went for a long drive and left it overnight. Next morning the battery is dead.
I decided to repeat but to pull the fuses one by one overnight. Pulled fuse #4 for the interior, vanity, radio, etc. left overnight. This morning, car started. I also used meter to check voltage. The first overnight when it was dead, the voltage read 8.5v. This morning when it started, it read 12.6v.
Reason for pulling #4 first was the instrument panel light now shows "deck" (CD deck?). Manual has no mention of this display.
1) like to figure out what is shorting off that fuse. Any suggestions? 2) any hints on how to pull radio/deck cluster out of the dash? Don't see screws.
A site suggestion is also good.
Thanks much.
