The starter on a 1997 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JXI 2.5L 6-cylinder engine is located on the passenger side of the engine bay, near the bottom. Here's a general guide on how to locate the starter:
1. Open the Hood: Pop the hood of your Chrysler Sebring Convertible JXI to access the engine bay.
2. Locate the Engine: Identify the engine block, which is the large metal component at the front of the vehicle.
3. Passenger Side: Stand on the passenger side of the vehicle, facing the engine.
4. Follow the Battery Cable: Trace the positive battery cable from the battery toward the engine. This cable often leads directly to the starter motor.
5. Starter Location: The starter is typically mounted on the lower portion of the engine block on the passenger side. It is a cylindrical-shaped component with electrical connections and usually has a solenoid attached to it.
You may need to remove some components or protective covers to access the starter motor. Once located, you can remove the starter motor by disconnecting its electrical connections and unbolting it from the engine block. It is recommended to consult the vehicle's service manual or seek professional assistance if you are not comfortable performing this task.
