I had that problem with my Stratus. Never got it fixed.
Ever Hear Of This? (Codes for A/C)
2001 Sebring sedan.
2.7 DOHC
I've been having intermediate problems with my A/C.
In the normal mode settings, it's hit or miss on whether the air will blow cold or just blow fan air.
Messing around one day, I discovered that when I am not having any luck with getting cold air in the normal settings ... the air "will" blow cold in defrost mode!
It will Always blow cold in the defrost setting even though it wont in the 'normal' settings.
Okay ... the reason for my post!
I found the following in a different forum, the information was supposed to have been posted by a Chrysler tech:
(This was not a post directed to me)
{BTW, I have the shops manual for my automobile and this information isn't in the manual!?)

There are supplemental 'Diagnostic Procedures' manuals for powertrain, transaxle, body and chassis.
The body manual covers the HVAC diagnostics beginning on p. 220 here:

Many diagnostic procedures are based on using the DRBIII scan tool. Measuring voltages and resistances can still be done manually with a volt/ohmmeter.
Removing the 'memory' fuse or disconnecting the battery will reset the modules, erase codes and the HVAC will perform a door calibration check upon restart.
Yours may have an issue with the A/C compressor not engaging in A/C mode, but engaging in defrost?
I have never tried the procedure described in your post. Does it work on yours?

I haven't tried it yet.
The reason?
If, as the guy says in the very first sentence of the second paragraph that: "You may have a bad control head" then ... Why would holding the defrost button on the "bad control head" to get a readout work?
Still mulling that one over! lol
(Just kidding. Actually I've just quit messing with the sebring for a few days. It's always one thing or another!)
