P0000 is a rare OBD2 fault code that can affect the Chrysler Sebring. While there are over 10,000 DTC “P” codes, this is the only one reserved for “no fault detected” in your car’s ECU (engine control unit) memory. It tells the scanner accessing the ECU that no codes are stored.

The most common reason you’ll see P0000 in the Chrysler Sebring is using a scan tool incompatible with your vehicle (check engine light on, but no other codes showing) or the scanner defaults to this code when no other codes are present (check engine light off).

You only need to be concerned about this code if the check engine light is on, which would indicate your scanner or multipurpose device is not pulling the codes properly.

Chrysler Sebring P0000 Definition:  No Fault Indicated

P0000 indicates that there is no fault detected. On most scanners, it won’t even register as a code. Its job is to tell the scanner that there are currently no diagnostic trouble codes stored within your Sebring’s ECU. Since it comes up like a code, the scanner can verify it has accessed the right part of the memory.

It is not a Chrysler-specific DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code); it is generic (it has the same definition for all cars or trucks with OBD2, no matter the make or model).

---

Symptoms

There are rarely symptoms associated with P0000. Your Sebring’s check engine light shouldn’t be on if it’s the only code stored in the ECU:

Check Engine Light (MIL)

P0000 is stored in the system memory to instruct the scanning device that no other codes are present. Displaying it as a code lets the scanner know the memory bank with stored codes was accessed.

The malfunction indicator lamp should not be on. If it is on, try another scan tool. P0000 by itself should not turn on the check engine light, so there should be other codes.

Drivability Issues

Your Chrysler Sebring should run and drive fine when P0000 appears by itself. If there are drivability issues, try using another scanner to access the trouble codes.

---

P0000 Causes: Chrysler Sebring

There are two scenarios when you encounter P0000. Either there is nothing wrong with your Sebring (most likely), or your scan tool isn’t picking up the stored codes. 

The easiest way to tell if there is something wrong is to look at the check engine light:

• If the check engine light is not on, your code reader falls back to P0000 as a default.
• If the check engine light is on, the code reader is having trouble accessing the stored codes.

The most common cause of this code is using a scan tool incompatible with your car. Any OBD2 scanner should be able to pull codes properly.

Scenario 1: No Check Engine Light

If your Chrysler Sebring’s check engine light is not on, and the only code your scan tool pulls up is P0000, there’s nothing to worry about. Most scan tools won’t even mention P0000, and it looks like yours does.

Scenario 2: Check Engine Light On

If the check engine light is on, codes should be stored in there other than P0000. If you can’t access them, try using a different scanner.

If you do get other codes with this one, deal with them. P0000 will take care of itself after you fix what’s causing them.

---

P0000 Fix

There is nothing to do when you encounter this code by itself. If your Sebring is running well and the check engine light is off, there is nothing to do.

Other codes are stored in the ECU’s memory if the check engine light is on. You’ll need to get a scan tool that is compatible with your Sebring in order to pull the other DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).

Take it to the local parts store if you can’t get your scanner to play nice with your vehicle. Most of them use solid scan devices that should not have any compatibility issues with your car.

---

Related Codes

There are no codes related to P0000, and there is nothing to repair when it’s the only code you see when plugging a scanner in.

Conclusion

P0000 in the Chrysler Sebring is never a problem by itself. If the check engine light isn’t on, it’s nothing to worry about. If it is on, you’ll need to use a different scanner to access the codes.

If your Chrysler Crossfire’s battery light is on, it is trying to warn you that there is an issue with the charging system.

The charging system itself is relatively simple.  The battery light comes on because the voltage level at the battery is too low.

---

Quick Facts

Common Causes	Faulty Battery, Bad Alternator, Battery Cables, Battery Terminal Corrosion
Breakdown Risk?	Yes, Without Enough Voltage, the Engine Will Die
Symptoms	Climate Control Failure, Weak Headlights, Random Misfiring, Red Battery Light  (None at first)
Typical Repair Cost (Parts)	Battery $100-200, Alternator $150-$300

Most battery lights will come on when a vehicle starts if the computer has detected that the voltage is too low to turn the starter at the proper RPM.  Your Crossfire’s battery light can come on at any time while driving if the voltage drops below a certain threshold.

You may have noticed your vehicle struggling to start, and the battery light stays on after the start.  That would indicate a bad battery, but it’s still worth your while to test it first.

---

Chrysler Crossfire Battery Light Causes + Diagnosis

The charging system in vehicles hasn’t changed that much in the last 50 years.  Here are the basics of how your Crossfire’s charging system works:

• A serpentine belt turns the alternator.
• The alternator charges the battery and powers your vehicle.  
• The voltage regulator produces a fixed output voltage, which keeps the system from overloading.
• The battery stores voltage for when the starter needs it or a sudden voltage demand increase.
• The battery warning light tells the driver if there is an issue with the charging system.

Directly below are the common causes for the Chrysler Crossfire battery warning light.  The potential fixes are presented in a good way to check your vehicle.

1. Check The Serpentine Belt

Before testing your Crossfire’s battery, examine the basic things.  The serpentine belt that turns the alternator is top of the list.

Take a look at the alternator.  Is the belt missing?  Is it shiny and cracked?  If it is missing entirely, don’t drive your Crossfire for any reason until you replace it.  If it’s shiny and cracked, it may not be turning the alternator fast enough to charge the battery, even if it is there.

With the engine running, take a look at the serpentine belt.  If it appears wobbly or is making a squeaking sound, replace it.

2. Clean any Battery Post Corrosion

Next, examine the battery posts.  If they have a battery acid buildup, you may fix your Crossfire’s alternator warning light by cleaning them and the battery terminals.

The voltage from the alternator goes to the battery through a wire that connects it to the battery post.  If the battery post is corroded, it won’t be able to do its job of sending the voltage to and from the battery efficiently, and your Crossfire’s battery light will turn on.

It only takes a second to check the battery posts out.  A battery post cleaner or wire brush can clean them in no time.  Just be careful not to get any of the corrosion in your eye.

Battery post cleaner is available at most parts stores.  You can also mix a generous amount of baking soda in water to clean the terminals.  Let it sit in the mixture for about 10 minutes.

3. Bad Ground Wire

Above, we discussed that a bad ground connection at the battery could cause the lights to flicker and a no-start condition. But, a damaged or loose ground connection can cause the problem anywhere on the cable.

Inspect your Crossfire’s ground cable for any obvious damage. Then, follow it to its mounting location on the engine block or chassis. Make sure that it is snugged tightly and that there’s no rust underneath it. This is a very common reason why dash lights flicker/no start.

4. Test the Alternator

If you have a multimeter, you can test your Crossfire’s alternator at home in no time.  It’s super easy:

1. Set the multimeter to read voltage. Specifically, you’ll need to set it to 20V DC.
2. With your Crossfire turned off, you’ll connect the negative side of the meter to the negative battery post.  Touch the positive side of the voltmeter to the positive battery wire.  With the engine off, you should get a reading somewhere between 12.0 volts and 12.6 volts.
3. Now that you have a baseline, it’s time to turn the engine on.  Leave the air conditioner off, as well as the headlights and any other accessories.
4. After firing the engine up, you should get over 14.2 volts.  If you got 14.2 or more volts, the alternator is charging fine.  If it’s still showing in the 12’s, it’s time to replace the alternator.  If it’s producing a voltage level in the 13s, go ahead and take it into a parts store and have it tested.  It’s probably faulty.
5. Assuming that the alternator was producing over 14 volts, go ahead and turn on the headlights, air conditioner, radio, and any other accessory you can think of, and run the same test again.  If the voltage dropped back into the 12s, it’s a very strong indication that your Crossfire’s alternator needs replacing.  It’s still worth having it tested, but be prepared to replace it.

An alternator that’s not putting out enough voltage will usually make itself known when the engine is running.  

If you see your Crossfire’s battery light turn on while driving, it’s likely the alternator is no longer providing enough voltage to power the various electrical systems and charge the battery simultaneously.

Can You Drive Your Crossfire With a Faulty Alternator?

It is not a good idea to drive with a bad alternator. If you must, there are things you can do to prolong how long the vehicle will last before the battery dies:

• Turn off the climate control
• Turn off the radio
• Don’t use the auto-start feature
• No headlights. If you have to drive at night, it’ll drain the battery fast

Basically, anything you can turn off is going to prolong how far your Chrysler Crossfire can go with just the battery. It’ll probably sputter and misfire a bit before the engine gives out entirely.

5. Test the Battery

If the battery light stays on but doesn’t turn back on after running the engine for a few minutes and then starting back up, it’s likely you’ll need to replace your Crossfire’s battery.

If the battery posts are clean, and you had over 14 volts on your multimeter with the engine idling under full accessory load, but the voltage drops below 12 volts when you shut your Crossfire off, it’s likely the battery is bad.

You can take it to a parts store and have it tested and replaced free of charge.  It’s a great way to get you to buy a battery from them.

Your Crossfire can run off the alternator just fine once it’s started.  This is an important thing to know.  A dead battery usually makes itself known when you are trying to start the vehicle.

---

Resetting the Battery Light

You shouldn’t have to do anything to reset your Crossfire’s battery light. It should take care of itself as you fix the problem. Sometimes, it’ll stay on if the voltage level was too low when starting the vehicle. In that case, it should turn off on the next start (if the problem was fixed)

---

Conclusion:  Chrysler Crossfire Battery Light

Jumping straight to battery replacement will often fix your Crossfire’s battery warning light, but taking a look at the charging system first can save you a lot of money.

Your Crossfire will operate for a short period of time off of the battery alone.  But, if the alternator has gone bad, it will eventually leave you stranded. 

If your battery light comes on on the road, get somewhere to have it tested as soon as possible.  Operate under the assumption that you will be stranded.

If your Chrysler Crossfire has a humming noise at high speed, it can be distracting and, depending on the cause, dangerous.

We’ve outlined the most common reasons why a humming noise in your vehicle gets louder with speed. We’ve also provided an audio sample of each issue to help determine what’s causing the hum.

Chrysler Crossfire Humming at High-Speed: Quick Info

Likely Causes	Bad wheel bearings, tires, alignment, missing wheel weight(s)
Breakdown Risk?	None, but bad suspension components can be dangerous
Repair Difficulty	Medium
Repair Expense	Varies, usually well under $1000

---

How to Tell the Difference Between a Bad Wheel Bearing and Bad Tire

Bad wheel bearings and bad tires have a similar sound. You can tell them apart in most cases by doing this simple test on your Chrysler Crossfire:

1. Drive your vehicle at the slowest speed it takes to reproduce the humming noise.
2. Wiggle the steering wheel back and forth. You’re looking to change your Crossfire’s load balance from one side to the other.
3. Did the sound change as you moved the wheel? If it did, your vehicle likely has a faulty wheel bearing. If it didn’t change, it’s likely a tire-related problem.

If you suspect a bad wheel bearing, jack your Crossfire up and free-turn each wheel. If one sounds gritty, that wheel bearing will likely need replacing.

---

1. Defective Wheel Bearing

A defective wheel bearing is a very common reason your Crossfire will make a humming noise while driving. Here’s what a bad wheel bearing sounds like:

A bad wheel bearing can cause a humming sound. If your Crossfire has a worn wheel bearing, the sound will be slightly more high-pitched than a tire issue (you can play that sound below).

You can test all four wheel bearings when the vehicle is stationary. Jack up each wheel and spin it freely. If the wheel sounds “gritty” and is hard to turn, you likely found the humming sound’s cause.

You can also use the method outlined above, where you rock your Crossfire while it’s moving to see if there is a change in pitch. If there is, you’re usually looking at a worn wheel bearing and not a bad tire.

---

2. Tire Issues

Here’s the sound of a cupped tire:

If your Chrysler Crossfire is suffering from uneven tire wear, you should be able to pick up the noise while driving around 30 MPH with it getting louder as you accelerate.

With uneven tire wear, you may also notice:

Wheel Out of Balance

If your Crossfire’s wheels are not correctly balanced, it can cause a humming noise when driving.

Tires are balanced with wheel weights when a new tire is installed. Balancing corrects any vibration before the tires go on the vehicle. Take a look behind the wheels. You can usually tell if a wheel weight fell off.

See the wheel weight above? Depending on where they are needed, they can be on the front or back of your Crossfire’s wheels. You’ll likely see the spot where the wheel bearing was.

Cupping

Tires that are “cupped” or “scalloped” have uneven tread wear across the tire. Run your hand along the tread. If it’s cupped badly enough, you’ll feel the unevenness.

The following suspension issues usually cause cupping:

• Bad shocks/struts
• Bad ball/cv joints
• Poor wheel alignment

If you find cupping on the inside tread of your Crossfire’s tire, suspect an issue with the wheel alignment.

If the cupping is on the outside tread, it still could be an alignment issue. But it’s more likely your Chrysler Crossfire has a suspension problem. Here’s more from Atlantic Motor car on cupping. Or, you can watch the video below. It picks up at the exact point where you can see what cupped tread looks like.

Large Tire Tread

A humming noise is normal if you’ve recently replaced your Crossfire’s tires with an aggressive tread.

Off-road and snow tread tires are notorious for making a loud humming sound.

---

Other Causes

A bad wheel bearing or suspension issue are the most common causes of humming when driving on the highway in the Chrysler Crossfire. Here are some other things that can cause noise while at speed:

• Brakes– If the brakes have worn past their squealers, they’ll make noise at highway speed. The problem is, the noise is AWFUL. It feels like grinding. It can come and go depending on the wheel’s angle and the vehicle’s speed. 
• Power Steering– A bad power steering pump can make a humming sound. The only problem is that it should be heard at any speed. You may only be noticing it while your Crossfire is moving. Try revving the engine while in Park and seeing if that creates the humming noise.

---

Conclusion

You can do a few simple tests to figure out what is causing a humming noise while driving at high speed in your Chrysler Crossfire. It’s not a breakdown risk, but you can still end up stranded if the wheel bearing or suspension component causing the hum fails.

If your Chrysler 300 has a humming noise at high speed, it can be distracting and, depending on the cause, dangerous.

If your Sebring’s wheels are not correctly balanced, it can cause a humming noise when driving.

Tires are balanced with wheel weights when a new tire is installed. Balancing corrects any vibration before the tires go on the vehicle. Take a look behind the wheels. You can usually tell if a wheel weight fell off.

See the wheel weight above? Depending on where they are needed, they can be on the front or back of your Sebring’s wheels. You’ll likely see the spot where the wheel bearing was.

Cupping

Tires that are “cupped” or “scalloped” have uneven tread wear across the tire. Run your hand along the tread. If it’s cupped badly enough, you’ll feel the unevenness.

The following suspension issues usually cause cupping:

• Bad shocks/struts
• Bad ball/cv joints
• Poor wheel alignment

If you find cupping on the inside tread of your Sebring’s tire, suspect an issue with the wheel alignment.

If the cupping is on the outside tread, it still could be an alignment issue. But it’s more likely your Chrysler Sebring has a suspension problem. Here’s more from Atlantic Motor car on cupping. Or, you can watch the video below. It picks up at the exact point where you can see what cupped tread looks like.

Large Tire Tread

A humming noise is normal if you’ve recently replaced your Sebring’s tires with an aggressive tread.

Off-road and snow tread tires are notorious for making a loud humming sound.

Other Causes

A bad wheel bearing or suspension issue are the most common causes of humming when driving on the highway in the Chrysler Sebring. Here are some other things that can cause noise while at speed:

• Brakes– If the brakes have worn past their squealers, they’ll make noise at highway speed. The problem is, the noise is AWFUL. It feels like grinding. It can come and go depending on the wheel’s angle and the vehicle’s speed. 
• Power Steering– A bad power steering pump can make a humming sound. The only problem is that it should be heard at any speed. You may only be noticing it while your Sebring is moving. Try revving the engine while in Park and seeing if that creates the humming noise.

---

Conclusion

You can do a few simple tests to figure out what is causing a humming noise while driving at high speed in your Chrysler Sebring. It’s not a breakdown risk, but you can still end up stranded if the wheel bearing or suspension component causing the hum fails.

If your Chrysler Pacifica has a humming noise at high speed, it can be distracting and, depending on the cause, dangerous.

We’ve outlined the most common reasons why a humming noise in your van gets louder with speed. We’ve also provided an audio sample of each issue to help determine what’s causing the hum.

Chrysler Pacifica Humming at High-Speed: Quick Info

Likely Causes	Bad wheel bearings, tires, alignment, missing wheel weight(s)
Breakdown Risk?	None, but bad suspension components can be dangerous
Repair Difficulty	Medium
Repair Expense	Varies, usually well under $1000

How to Tell the Difference Between a Bad Wheel Bearing and Bad Tire

Bad wheel bearings and bad tires have a similar sound. You can tell them apart in most cases by doing this simple test on your Chrysler Pacifica:

1. Drive your van at the slowest speed it takes to reproduce the humming noise.
2. Wiggle the steering wheel back and forth. You’re looking to change your Pacifica’s load balance from one side to the other.
3. Did the sound change as you moved the wheel? If it did, your van likely has a faulty wheel bearing. If it didn’t change, it’s likely a tire-related problem.

If you suspect a bad wheel bearing, jack your Pacifica up and free-turn each wheel. If one sounds gritty, that wheel bearing will likely need replacing.

1. Defective Wheel Bearing

A defective wheel bearing is a very common reason your Pacifica will make a humming noise while driving. Here’s what a bad wheel bearing sounds like:

A bad wheel bearing can cause a humming sound. If your Pacifica has a worn wheel bearing, the sound will be slightly more high-pitched than a tire issue (you can play that sound below).

You can test all four wheel bearings when the van is stationary. Jack up each wheel and spin it freely. If the wheel sounds “gritty” and is hard to turn, you likely found the humming sound’s cause.

You can also use the method outlined above, where you rock your Pacifica while it’s moving to see if there is a change in pitch. If there is, you’re usually looking at a worn wheel bearing and not a bad tire.

2. Tire Issues

Here’s the sound of a cupped tire:

If your Chrysler Pacifica is suffering from uneven tire wear, you should be able to pick up the noise while driving around 30 MPH with it getting louder as you accelerate.

<p>If your Chrysler Town and Country’s AC system is not working, it can be uncomfortable and downright dangerous on a hot day. There are A LOT of issues that can cause your van’s air conditioner to fail.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<p>If your Chrysler Town and Country has no air moving through the climate system at all, that’s a lot easier to diagnose than the air that is blowing not being cool enough.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>When there’s no air flowing through the van’s cabin, a bad blower motor usually causes this scenario. However, there are a few less common reasons as well.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>If you don’t hear any noise coming from the blower motor, the air conditioner not working check these two items.</p>

<h3>Bad Blower Motor (Most Likely)</h3>

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>Blower motors are known to fail without warning. If all the dash lights are on, the climate control system looks like it should be working, and no air moves, you should suspect the blower motor.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>Before replacing it, turn the fan up to its highest setting. If air starts blowing at full blast, suspect the blower motor resistor.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– /wp:image –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>Depending on how your particular model year of Town and Country’s blower motor resistor question, it will still be able to turn on the blower motor when you turn the speed all the way up. Sometimes, it’ll still do nothing.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>You can tell if the blower motor resistor has failed by testing for voltage where the harness plugs into the blower motor.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>We recommend testing the circuit for voltage at the blower motor first because it’s almost always easier.&nbsp; A simple test light will usually do the trick.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2. AC System Not Blowing Cold Enough</h2>

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>The most common reason for your Chrysler Town and Country’s AC not blowing cold enough is low refrigerant levels, followed by a dirty evaporator or condenser issues (bad or clogged).</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:heading {“level”:3} –>

<h3>Refrigerant Leak</h3>

<p><br>Testing your Town and Country’s AC system pressure can help determine if you are chasing a leak or if there’s another issue at work.&nbsp; If the A/C system leaks, you can chase it down with a leak detection kit and UV dye.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p><br>Here’s how to go about testing the pressure and chasing the leak:</p>

<p>If you add too much coolant to your van, you can cause more leaks in the AC system.&nbsp;</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>If the refrigerant leaks out of the system, eventually, there won’t be enough left to cool your Town and Country.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>Having the system recharged can temporarily get your AC system blowing cold again.&nbsp; But, the coolant will leak out again. As a result, the system pressure will diminish, and you’ll have to repeat the cycle until you discover WHY the system was leaking and repair it.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:heading {“level”:3} –>

<h3>Blend Door Stuck</h3>

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>Very few vehicles still use manually controlled blend doors (where there is a wire that connects to the temperature slider). They almost all use blend door actuators. Your Town and Country’s blend door is responsible for adjusting how much air gets in from the A/C system and the heater core.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>The blend door actuator may be bad or stuck if your AC system is not blowing cold air.&nbsp; Sometimes, when on an all-day trip, the blend door can freeze up, and it’ll stay in whatever position it was in when frozen.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>When your Town and Country’s A/C is blowing WARMER than the outside temperature, it strongly indicates that the blend door actuator is causing the cooling issues.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>Here’s what a bad blend door actuator sounds like:</p>

<!– /wp:image –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>A defective cooling fan will cause your Town and Country’s AC to stop working well. The cooling fan blows fresh air over the condenser and helps it dissipate heat.  When the air going over it slows down, it can’t do its job as well.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p><br>Suspect the cooling fan if the AC system blows colder when driving on the highway (which allows more air over the condenser).</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>You’ve probably noticed when you turn the A/C on that you’ll hear clicking and a blowing noise coming from the front of your Chrysler Town and Country.&nbsp; If that noise has stopped and the A/C isn’t blowing as cold as it once was, suspect the cooling fan.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>Cooling fans can stop working for a few reasons.&nbsp; A blown fuse, wiring harness issue going to it (prime location for rodent damage), or a bad motor are the most common reasons this happens.</p>

<!– /wp:image –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>If your Town and Country’s cabin air can cause the air speed coming from the blower motor to slow down.  It is one of the most overlooked maintenance items on a vehicle.  Almost all modern cars and trucks have them.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p><br>As a rule, most cabin air filters are accessed underneath the glove compartment and are located near the blower motor. Where it actually is is going to depend on the model year.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p><br>Changing it will restore airspeed, but it won’t do anything for you if you have warm air coming in the cabin.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:heading {“level”:3} –>

<h3>Condenser</h3>

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>If your Chrysler Town and Country is blowing coolish (but not cold) air, a condenser issue is often the cause.&nbsp; You can check it at home.&nbsp; It’s a little radiator that has A/C lines running to and from it.&nbsp; It’ll be right by the main radiator in the grille.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>Take a look at it.&nbsp; If some large debris is keeping air from flowing over it, the AC system can’t properly cool the vehicle.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>If it’s muddy or dirty, hose it off.&nbsp; It can make a difference.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:heading {“level”:3} –>

<h3>Dirty Evaporator</h3>

<!– /wp:heading –>

<!– /wp:image –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>If the evaporator is dirty, one of the most common tells is that the A/C system smells when it’s on.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>Usually, you only need to worry about this if you’ve had something get in the AC system and nest up there or your Town and Country has seen a very high amount of dirt in the cabin.</p>

<!– /wp:image –>

<!– wp:paragraph –>

<p>A lot of AC problems in the Chrysler Town and Country are caused by a bad compressor.&nbsp; Unfortunately, if it’s broken, there’s no repairing an AC compressor.&nbsp; Instead, it’ll need replacing.</p>

<!– /wp:paragraph –>
