I recently bought my neon and noticed that the interior lights wouldn't come one when I opened my door. My odometer lights work but not my radio lights, dome lights, or my glove box lights. I checked the door switch and whether there was power to the dome light, I even got a new bulb for the dome light and nothing has worked. By the looks of things, the person who had it before me installed a day time running light and it looks like they may have removed a fuse called the time delay relay or something in the fuse box. I called Chrysler and they haven't heard of that part before? Someone, please help!?
Time delay relay is the relay that allows the interior dome light to remain on for a brief time when you enter or leave the car.Usually the lights will remain on for a few minutes and then dim down and finally off.
It sounds like the daytime running lights were put on that circuit and the relay removed to keep them on constantly.
This sounds like a time and material repair that a shop will have to do. Tracing the wiring installed by the previous owner may be required to find out what was done.

The dome light problem is likely that the crappy switches that get pushed in when the door closes don't make contact when opened. You can find them at the lower right corner of the door sill. (Driver's side door. Same relative position on the other doors.) Take a phillips screwdriver and remove them, AFTER removing the correct fuse. Spray the inside of the switches with contact cleaner. Grab the black nub of the switch and twist it while holding the switch body still.
The trunk has a weird setup. the switch contact is where the trunk latch is. When the trunk is closed, the simple spring switch is held open so the light turns off. When trunk is open, the switch closes and the bulb lights. Hope this helps.
