Surely someone must know where the air intake for the ventilation system is located before I kill any more mice? Please.
#50 of 99 2004 Dodge Neon SXT changes - Please Help!! by gil2006
Oct 20, 2008 (4:29 am)
I have a 2004 Dodge Neon SXT that I want to make some changes to. First off, I would like to change the speedometer background disk from miles to kph (I'm in Germany with the military). Second, I would like to install a wiper on the rear window. Is any of this possible, and if so, where can I get additional information and parts about it? Thank you so much for your help!!!- hellcat1988 (Apr 06, 2009 6:00 am)

A very cheep and simple way to do it would be to find a neon in a junk yard there with the gauges you want. Pull the gauges and install them into your car. You'll probably also need to pull the pulse generator out of the junked car and put it in yours. It's not that hard to do and there should be diagrams online to show you where/how to do it. As far as the wiper blade on the rear window, that's going to be alot more difficult. It will require you to take a wiper assembly out of something that has a rear wiper. You'll have to build a bracket to mount it to your trunk lid, cut a hole for the wiper arm mount to pass through, and make sure to angle it so that the arm will keep a wiper blade in contact with the window without breaking anything. NOT all that easy, but not impossible for someone who's competent with a welder, drill, and an angle finder.

I have a 2003 dodge neon SXT 2.0 , when i start the car it misfires sometimes, and sometimes it doesnt. I start the car and go and press the gas pedal and the car shakes, and the car doesn't move, and shakes and the cars turns off. I wait about a minute and start the car again and the car runs good. I went to Autozone, and they said the problem is in the gas tank, the purge solenoid or the vapor canister has gone bad. WHAT DO YOU THINK, AND WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? OH ALSO I FORGOT TO SAY I also got INCORRECT FLOW PURGE. IS THIS CONNECTED TO PURGE SOLENOID, OR THE VAPOR CANISTER OR NOT?#54 of 99 Can a damaged water pump cause a timing belt problem by relic23

1999 neon. I had a damaged water pump and took it to a mechanic. The mechanic changed the water pump and I also gave him a new timing belt to put in. The engine was fine and the only noise it made was from the broken water pump but now the engine won't start. The mechanic said that pieces of the water pump went into the timing belt and cause the pistons to damaged the valves. Can that happen or did the mechanic place the new timing belt wrong and cause the engine damaged. The compresion readings now are 24,24,25,10.- moparfan87 (May 04, 2010 8:31 pm)

Yes, a water pump going out can cause the timing belt to go out. When the timing belt and water pump goes out it's a 99% chance that it harmed the engine in some way, usually by damaging the valves. I have seen this happen many times with the Neons. I have personally worked on ones that have done this.
#57 of 99 Wiring help? by borjawil
Jun 07, 2010 (12:56 pm)
I have a 97 neon. Basic 2 door car. A few issues with it. One question i have is there are 2 wires one green one black that are not connected to anything and come through the firewall and are by the brake pedal. The black connected to the neg on the battery as when i pull the end on the neg it shortens the black wire by the brake. The same with the green although it is coming from a bundle of wires near the fire wall on the driver side. Any one know where these connect?2nd issue. Car drove fine yesterday and today i turn the key and nothing. Battery is charged all lights works and radio too. No noise from the starter, no clicking or anything. I hit it a coupe times to make sure it wasnt stuck. No luck. It is the cylinder located on the drivers side/middle towards the front of the car right? If so how do i test it with a 12v?
