2005 Chrysler Sebring Sedan?
I was told my 2005 Chrysler Sebring has a bad computer. Also that the computer on this model controls both the transmission and the engine power. Is this true? Also where is the computer located on my car?

I believe you will find it more easily if you remove the engine air intake box (where the air filter is located). The ecu (also called the pcm) is located below and inboard from the power distribution box (fuses and relays in that box), and it is held in place on the chassis structural side rail, fairly low in the engine comparment. It has 2 40-pin pluga on the rear edge, and ridges on the surface for heat dissipation. So start by disconnecting the battery, remove the air cleaner box, disconnect the 2 plugs at the rear, and move the harness out of the way, remove 2 bolts and one nut that hold the metal frame in place. (It is held by a metal frame that is bolted to the side rail and once you remove the fasteners for the frame the unit will come free from the chassis.) Then remove the pcm from the frame.
In 2003, I think there was a modification that combined the engine and transmission controller for the 2.0 and 2.4L engines.
