'96 Chrysler Sebring, Body Control Module
Q:
I own
a 196 Chrysler Sebring Convertible and Im having problems
with my tachometer and speedometer blanking out for a long time. They
are off more than they are on. The odometer appears to keep good mileage.
Also, my gas gauge fluctuates, my dimmer control will not dim the lights
and the fog lights operate intermittently. All this happens sporadically.
I think its the body control module. I checked the connections on
the instrument cluster and a few of the grounds and all looks ok. Whats
your opinion?
A:
The
symptoms of the components youve mentioned are just a small part
of the kingdom overseen by the body control module. It sounds as if the
high and mighty module is faltering and a new ruler (computer) is in your
vehicles future.
