Four problems related to fuses and circuit breaker have been reported for the 1996 Dodge Neon. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Recall 96 v 026 000/electrical: harness front underhood wiring. Instrument panel lights/ gauges/ horn, and turn signal would go out, and vehicle stalled intermittently. Dealer / manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that this vehicle was not covered under recall due to VIN. Feel free to provide any further information.
I have taken me Neon in three times this month for the same problem. The first time they could not find as to why the fuse for the fule pump blew because the computer did not find anything wrong withthe car. The dealer did tell me that it is hard to locate electrical problems. I understand that, but it happen again two times in one day. I again took my car into the dealer and this time they said that the only thing on this fuse is the fuel pump and suggested that it was going bad. So, we replaced it and then it happen again. At this point I am very concerned because I job coach and drive my car all day to and from different clients job sites as well as transport them to and from work. This concerns me greatly du to the fact that with some of them I must drive on a highway and with the cars fuel pump fuse blowing at any time for what ever reason this frightens me wiht the way people drive on the highway the last thing I or they need is a car that just stops in it's tracks. I have had my car in the shop for three days and they still can not figure out why the fuse keeps blowing. It is at the point where they are driving my car around to see as to why or as to what is wrong. Please if you have had any other complaints about this problem write to me or e-mail me so that I can let them know. In regards to where I purchased my car. It was at a dealer ship in san diego California four years ago and I now live in wisconsin. It may be possable to locate the dealer with my VIN number. Thank you debora brey.
While driving entire electrical system went out. Had no interior or outside lights. Had some leakage from transmission and engine. Took vehicle to dealership, and mechanic repaired leakages/starter/head gaskets/ oil pressure switch, and windshield wipers. Water leak from the trunk to rear floor boards caused corrosion. Also, signal light failed to go off. Consumer states the vehicle had been involved in several accidents befor e purchase.
Tail light is filled up with water and it leaks. Spare tire holder in the process trunck is wet, also leaks down through the sides of the back seats and floor, water shorted out the wires on the tail light. Dealer contacted and cannot duplicate the problem.
