37 Wiring problem of the 2000 Dodge Neon

Failure Date: 09/20/2003

Air conditioning suddenly went out from cold to hot air. Code in system is p0645, says a/c clutch relay circuit, an open or shorted condition detected in the a/c clutch relay control circuit. I bought the service manual for Dodge 2000 Neon. I went to the Dodge dealer and they said a wire breaks on the black harness attached to the clutch relay on the air conditioner. I hit a bump in the road when the air went from cold to hot air. I checked all fuses are ok. There is no power though to the harness to the high pressure cut out switch or the low pressure cut off switch or the black connector on the air conditioner. The service manual says this may be caused from defective wiring - fuse - or relay. I can't afford to go to the dealer and have them trouble shoot the problem. Any ideas to what my problem is and how to fix it? I'm still paying my car off and already spent 400. 00 to replace brake rotors etc. . , now my air conditioning is faulty. Help! help!.

38 Wiring problem of the 2001 Dodge Neon

Failure Date: 07/15/2003

Car electrical intermittently goes out without warning, while moving or parked. Radio goes out, all dials go down to zero, power steering and brakes do not work. I have taken the car to the dealership on numerous occasions, mostly by tow-truck, to fix the problem. Dealer says they cannot duplicate the problem, installs CO-pilot, but car does not act up while it's installed. I have contacted daimlerchrysler assistance center, but they say it's not their problem. My warrenty is almost up and I am afraid I won't have the money to take the car in anymore, this situation is severely dangerous, the car will come to a dead stop on the freeway or in the middle of an intersection, I have had a few close calls and am worried that I will get hurt, or worse.
