I have a 96 Chrysler Sebring Convertible with a 2.4L in it.  We have been driving it for a couple of years.  Ran great.  My daughter went out to start it and it won't start.  No dash lights come on when you turn on the key.  It will not turn over.  The radio also will no work.  Headlights work fine.  Any Ideas.

what is the condition of the battery....what is the system voltage...what does it load test at?  if battery is ok look at the ignition switch...sounds like a power suppy issue....batteries on these cars are often neglected since they sit in the fenderwell(out of sight out of mind)....most common cause of problems on these cars is the battery

another good idea is to check and replace all bad fuses... that would definatly explain the dash lights and radio not coming on.
