Where is the starter solenoid on a 1997 Chrysler sebring?

The starter solenoid on a 1997 Chrysler Sebring is typically located on the starter motor itself. The starter motor is usually found on the engine block, somewhere near the bottom of the engine, close to the transmission bell housing. It's a relatively large, cylindrical component. The solenoid will be a smaller, often rectangular or cylindrical part *attached to* the starter motor.

Because of the location and potential variations depending on the specific engine (2.0L, 2.4L, or 2.5L were common in '97 Sebrings), you'll need to consult a repair manual specific to your Sebring's year and engine to get a precise visual location. A picture or diagram in that manual will be invaluable.

Warning: Working on the starter motor involves working with the car's battery and potentially hot components. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before attempting any work to prevent accidental short circuits or injury.
