Recently I was driving my 2003 Dodge Neon sxt going to drop my kids off at my parents house. When I dropped them off my headlights and fog lights were working fine. After dropping them off I got back into my car and started it and went to turn my headlights and fog lights back on only to find that they didn't work! my parking lights and taillights worked but the low beams and fog lights didn't and still don't. I have checked the fuses, the light bulbs and I even checked the switch and they all looked great and from what I can tell the wiring looks good. I belong to a Neon club on the internet and there are others having the same problem. I checked on the internet for a recall on the 03' Neon and I found one for the exterior lighting but when I called the dealership they said that my car wasn't affected by the recall and I would have to pay to get the car fixed. A car this new should not be having problems like this I can understand some general maintenance sure but not both headlights and fog lights not working at the same time. My high beams work if I hold them on but if I let go of the switch they turn off.

2003 Dodge Neon lights went out and started seeing smoke coming out of the dash on the left hand side where the multi function switch is.

Smoke started coming out of the vents & steering column. Took it to the dealer & they said it was spilled anti freeze from when they changed the oil. Car was ok for a little while. Now it's smoking again the front defroster doesn't work the fog lights are gone & recently my highlights went too. I took it to the shop they shown me the burnt wires in steeling column & said the heating coil is damaged making the smell & fogs the window from the fumes. Next to go will be the turning signals & wipers if not fixed.

The fog light multifunction switch in my 2002 Dodge Neon was malfunctioning and the fog lights were turning on without being turned on. This continued for about a month until smoke came out of the steering wheel column for ~30 seconds, until the car was pulled over and the ignition turned off. The fog lights no longer work and there have been no more incidences of smoke. Nothing has been done yet to rectify this, but the dealership will be contacted shortly. We found no obvious recalls for this for this vehicle.
