[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8127482, member: 576029"] gotcha, makes more sense. funny you should have that problem, a friend of mine has a 97 Sebring with the same issue. I used a DMM to check every fuse in the vehicle, both engine bay and cabin fuses. All were fine. I even verified voltage at the unlock switch - which is a digital system and i suspect ties to a body control module or similar computer. His issue is that the alarm won't quit going off, because they lost the keyfob and when you use the key to unlock the door, the alarm needs to see that signal from the door electronics. lose the door electronics and you lose the ability to disarm the alarm. it's a convertible so we didn't check the interior lights. I spent 2 hours looking at that Sebring and couldn't find a smoking gun. Even removed the door panel to probe all switches and relays. His issue started when water got into the car and soaked the floor. We were curious if moisture played a role. we need to look at a schematic to see where voltage is common to the radio and door locks. post a schematic and i'll happily review. [/QUOTE]
