1. Check the Blower Motor Resistor:
* Location: This is a common culprit. The location varies slightly depending on the year and model of your Sebring, but it's often found under the dashboard, sometimes near the blower motor itself, or even behind the glove compartment. Consult your owner's manual or an online repair manual for your specific Sebring year to locate it precisely.
* Inspection: Look for burned or damaged components on the resistor. Sometimes you can visually see a burned area. A multimeter can be used to test its continuity (though this requires some electrical knowledge). If the resistor is faulty, it needs replacement.
2. Check the Blower Motor Relay:
* Location: Again, the location varies by year and model. Consult your owner's manual or a repair manual. The relay is usually in a fuse box, either under the hood or inside the cabin.
* Inspection: Visually inspect the relay for any signs of damage. You can also try swapping it with a similar relay (if you have one) to see if that resolves the issue. This helps determine if the relay itself is faulty.
3. Check the Blower Motor itself:
* Location: Usually located behind the glove box or under the dashboard. Accessing it will likely require removing some trim pieces.
* Testing: This requires more advanced troubleshooting. You might need a multimeter to test the voltage at the motor's connector to confirm that power is reaching it when the fan is switched on. You can also try to directly apply 12V to the motor (carefully!) to see if it spins. *Be cautious when working with electrical components*. If the motor doesn't spin when directly powered, the motor itself is likely faulty.
4. Check the Blower Motor Switch:
* Location: This is the switch on your dashboard that controls the fan speed.
* Testing: This is the most difficult component to test directly without specialized equipment. If all other components check out, the switch itself is a strong suspect. Replacement is usually the solution.
5. Wiring and Connections:
* Inspection: Carefully inspect all wiring and connectors related to the blower motor, resistor, and relay. Look for broken wires, corrosion, or loose connections. A visual inspection can often reveal obvious problems.
Important Considerations:
* Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery cable before working on any electrical components in your car.
* Repair Manuals: Consult a repair manual specific to your Sebring's year and model. These manuals provide detailed diagrams and instructions, significantly aiding in troubleshooting. Online resources (like Haynes or Chilton) may also be helpful.
* Professional Help: If you're not comfortable working with car electrical systems, it's best to take your Sebring to a qualified mechanic.
By systematically checking these components, you'll likely pinpoint the cause of your blower motor problem. Remember to always prioritize safety and consult your vehicle's service manual.
