However, the most likely places are:
* Under the hood, in the Power Distribution Center (PDC): This is the most common location. The PDC is usually a large black plastic box, often near the battery or firewall. You'll need to consult your owner's manual or a wiring diagram to identify the specific relay. The relay itself might be labeled, or you might need to use a multimeter or test light to identify it.
* Under the dashboard: Less common in this model year but possible. This would be inside the passenger compartment, often accessible after removing a panel. Again, a wiring diagram would be essential.
To find it, you should:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best starting point. It should have a diagram showing the fuse and relay box locations.
2. Use a wiring diagram: A wiring diagram specific to your 1996 Chrysler Sebring will show the exact location of the fuel pump relay. These can often be found online through auto parts websites or repair manuals.
3. Look for the PDC: If your owner's manual doesn't specify, visually inspect the areas mentioned above, focusing on the PDC.
4. Use a multimeter or test light: If you are comfortable with basic automotive electrical testing, you can trace the circuit to the fuel pump to identify the relay.
Caution: Working with automotive electrical systems can be dangerous. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, it's best to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic. Improperly working on the electrical system could damage your vehicle or even cause injury.
