Dodge Neon - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Curves in the road are a common occurrence and cars are easily equipped to go around them. The wire could be off a number of things, but you can test by turning all the lights on, especially the low level fog lights. Also try the horn, as if I remember correctly it is located above the passenger wheel arch liner. ..

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. The codes tell you the problem and from there, the fix.

If you mean you want to start the car without the switch interfering, yes, you can do that by cutting the tan wire from the starter relay and grounding it to the chassis. This will allow the engine to start in any gear. However, the switch does a lot more that neutral safety. It tells the pcm what gear you want to choose. So, if the switch is bad, it could give the pcm bad data about your selection. Bottom line is, the car should start (please have your foot on the brake when you try), but the transmission may not work as expected.

Have you had somebody clear the codes after you installed the parts.If not the codes have to be erased by using a scan tool.

fuses blowing that fast almost has to be a shorted positive wire. have you traced your wires to see if any have been compromised or maybe wore against the frame. it could also be a wire on the inside lights .. the door switches for inside lights used to be notorious for shorting out over time and causing this issue

maybe fuel injectors partially clogged or wore out .. that and vacuum lines is where i would start the search. then i would start pulling and cleaning sensors

you might have a short on th eback of your fuse box.. if not tthen I would start by disconnecting the power wire to the radio. (as near the fuse box as possible maybe even the ground wire too (although it will still ground through the antenna). if the radio will work independently of the fuse box (still with a fuse in the line always fuse any electrical device in the wire route) then you know the radio isn't the problem and thus it is a wire that deals with the radio via the car. .you have to be careful that you don't damage the computer while blowing fuses. if it's the radio then off to the pick a part junk yard..

when i need a code read i go to ORielies auto parts and they read codes for free..and so far accurately i'm sure other auto parts stores offer the same service for free.

i used a test light to test each wire with lo beams on only 1 wire caused the test light to light up then when i turned on the hi beam the other wire lit up the yest light and the 3rd wire was just a common ground

It will take a while for the clutch disc and pressure plate to bed in, and it also takes a while for your leg to re-learn where the clutch bites.

Check the owners manual it will show you where its at if it has a cabin air filter .

You are guessing and guessing is expensive. You need an auto-electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer. The electronics diagnostics with give the answer to what failed when you went into reverse. I'll give you a guess, it is something on the gearbox, or a computer network failure between it, the BCM and ECM. This vehicle certainly has some issues. https://www.google.com/search?q=2004+Dodge+Neon+2.0.+It+died+after+putting+it+in+reverse ..

Question edited for clarity and add some CAPS for proper names. Question moved to year make model category. Video and click the images tab. They are always on the bottom of the radiator, left, right or rear. https://www.google.com/search?q=2005+dodge+neon+radiator+drain+plug+location ..

It's either under the hood on the left hand sidein a black box on the shock tower or for the smaller fuses it's inside the drivers door lower end of the dash behind a pull off panel marked fuses

Sounds like you still have the timing out. If its out a tooth on the neons it wont start. I have worked on alot of them after people have changed timing belt or water pump....if this is the caes and you have to time it again. What happens in most cases is when cams and crank are in there proper position when tightening the belt eiter one of the cams or the crank slip.....if this is the case contact me and i will give you a few pointers yhat may make it easyer....hope this helps and if so Please rate this post and good luck.

Personally I wouldnt bother tracing the wire as it is probably not worth your time, and just run a constant 12v from the battery to the relay on like 10ga wire. There is probably a short somewhere in the system which can be a real headache to find.

Also it may sound dumb, but check your fuses, and the fusible links under the hood. Chances are that they are all fine though, especially if you have dash lights.

Have you checked the usual issues? Battery in fob and engine connections, fuse boxes (probably 2 one interior and one in engine bay or trunk) do you have a second fob that you can try? If the buttons on the interior do not work then probably a fuse has blown or a relay in which some diagnostic troubleshooting will need to be started. A multimeter and jumper leads (not jumper cables to start a dead battery) will get you far enough. A schematic of the power locks will come in handy.
