Replying to: jawsnpaws (Apr 20, 2007 1:01 pm) are they cloudy lenses? If so, what u need to do is get the grit 2000 sand paper,(thats the very very smooth sandpaper) a spray bottle for clean water, a buffer, rubbing compound and a bottle of bluemagic headlight lens restorer. you can find this at your local auto parts store. you can take the lense out or leave it on to do this. I did it the quick way and left them on   1. Spray the lense and start sanding the lense, this is called wet sanding. Depending on how bad it is you want to keep doing this a few times. spray and sand spray and sand, dont let it get dry. Do this to both lenses   2. Once your done with the wet sanding you want to put some rubbing compound and buff it out until the lense looks clear again.   3. Now, you want to apply the bluemagic headlight restorer. do this like two or three times, this will protect your lense and keep this from happening again.   If for any reason it still looks cloudy you may have to remove the lense and repeat the steps on the inside of the lense.   Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, use any type of degreaser on plastic, this makes it worse, it corrodes the plastic and may end up costing you about $150/$200 getting new lenses.   Hope this helps. Please let me know how it turned out checkout my blog about mobile detail in florida http://autoshine1.blogspot.com I have posted other tips on keeping your car looking good Replies to this message: j3ff3r (Apr 01, 2008 7:37 am)
#83 of 122 Where is the camshaft sensor on a 1998 plymouth neon by iche Mar 26, 2008 (5:49 am)
My neon turns off once in a while, starting right back up in a few minutes. I took it to AutoZone and they connected it to the omputer and it said it was the cam sensor.   Can anybody tell me where in the 4311 is this sensor I cant find it. Thanks to those who reply

#85 of 122 96 Neon Instrument Panel by klbkmb Mar 19, 2008 (11:28 am)
I have a strange problem that might just be a loose connection. The gas gauge is not even close to being accurate and the speedometer sometimes works. Sometimes I can pound on the dash and the speedometer will either work or at least jump. Sometimes I can press on the plastic covering the instruments and the speedometer will work. The temp gauge seems to always work fine. I'm thinking I need to head for an auto-electric shop and let them deal with it. Any ideas or quick fixes?

Replying to: klbkmb (Mar 19, 2008 11:28 am) I have a 95 Highline - there seems to many post about electrical problems with the early Neons. The factory fix seems to be to replace the instrument panel, some as many as 3 times. One guy stated that his extended warranty had paid more in repairs than the car cost new. My speed-o stopped working more or less, under 40k but way out of warranty time wise. I use a TomTom GPS One XL around 200 bucks on QVC's web site. You can also use an external avail at JC Whitney for about 125 plus install. At times all my gages freeze for a couple of minutes but love to drive the car, kind of my sports car for the twisty roads. Replies to this message: seabuckle (Mar 20, 2008 8:44 am)

Replying to: seabuckle (Mar 20, 2008 3:27 am) Added note on GPS suggested fix - My GPS fits nicely between the flasher button and instrument section using a piece of foam to fill the space and making a snug fit for ez in/out and see thru the steering wheel on trips less than 2 hours on battery.

Replying to: iche (Mar 26, 2008 5:44 am) My tail lights aren't cloudy and I removed the bulbs from the tail light covers to test them and they don't turn on. Any other suggestions?

Replying to: klbkmb (Mar 19, 2008 11:28 am) HI I have a 97 Neon with same problem and i found a quick and easy fix. All you have to do is push up on your dash panel and it will pop up and you will be able to see 4 screws that holds the gauges case in take them screws out and pull the case straight out, it will come all the way out, then on the back there are about 10 screws with a hex head. remove them and take the Green electronic board out and on the back you will see where the 2 black plugs are sodered to the board. all you have to do is touch them soder points with a hot soder iron just untill they are melted then let it harden back up then put everything back together and put it back in. the reason it is that simple is when they were put together it was done by cold soder and it leaves it with a faulty connection Replies to this message: j3ff3r (Apr 08, 2008 12:05 pm)
