Hi!!
What controls the Back Up Lights is the Neutral Safety Switch/Back Up Switch, located on the transmission shifter (engine compartment). Check for 12v+ coming in from the fuse box to the Neutral Safety Switch, if OK, check for 12v+ out of the wire going to the back up lights when in Reverse, if no power, replace switch, if there is power, check wiring from switch to back up lights.
Good Luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa.

My 97 dodge neon head lights wont turn on but every other light will fuses look ok Wat is my problem
  1. Turn the light switch off and on several times.
  2. Change from high beam to low beam several times.
  3. Use a multi-meter to check for power to the plug that the bulbs connect to. Sometimes there are components other than fuses than can malfunction and stop the flow of electricity.
  4. Change one of the bulbs for a new one. There is a possibility that both headlights are burned out.
Sometimes, the high/low beam switch gets "stuck" between the two settings and the headlights will not come on at all.

Find the fuse for a 1999 dodge neon dome light?
They are with the light switch. The switch could be bad. But, pull the lens, pull the bulbs, look for a screw or two. remove them if they are there. Some don't have screws and just pop into the headliner. Remove the light holder. On the back side is where the wires usually burn.

My 97' Neon's lights all went out in the back...
It sounds as though you may have a short. Fisrt I would suggest using a voltage meter on one of the sockects is out completely, if there is low/no voltage running through it I would then trace the wire harness from the dash back. it's possible that it was kinked or bent causing a break or short. I hope this helps =)

Brake light dodge neon 2002
Check the brake fuse in your dash's fusebox. Since the turns work, you know the bulbs are good, unless your Neon has separate brake lights. If the fuse is good, bulbs are good, then check for power at the brake light switch on the upper portion of the brake pedal. Should have 12 volts there all the time. Use a testlight or voltmeter to check. Good luck.

Is there a fuse for rear tail lights on a 1997 dodge neon? tail lights won't work
Yes there is a fuse but if I am not mistaken. I think the dash lights are on the same fuse so if they work then that would eliminate that. Is it just the running lights that dont work or the brake lights too? If all back lights are out, it could be a bad ground wire going to those two lights somewhere in the trunk or possibly could be bad bulbs.
