sebring 2002 convertable 6cyl. headlights both went out at same time, about a month later I set my alarm with remote and it beeped but doors didn't lock. I bought new batteries for remote. The next day, I went to start car and totally dead. Took it to dealer and they put new battery and alighned it. Got it home and tonight went to alarm car with remote and it beeps and door don't lock. I have to do it manually. Oh, also every cd i have skips to that started at same time as car battery went dead. Please do you have any advice for me. I am a female that knows very little about cars. I had a hard time just finding the battery. I just got it out of dealer yesturday.

Thank You

You are going to have to go back to the dealer and have them,"Re-Flash" the remotes. They actually have a list of other stuff the reomte fob cand do that they can program back in.
However this usually is necassary only when remote batteries fail, so I am wonderign what they messed with to get it to work.
As far as the stereo, it is integrated into the alarm system and that is why you must keep the radio code on hand in case your battery dies etc. Same thingn here though, they only put in a number. Should not cause skipping. Try a CD cleanerdisk or ask there advice when you get fobsre-programmed.
