1998 Dodge Neon - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
My 98 dodge neon's speedometer started jumping up
Hi. Look like your charging system is down. Check battery first, alternator fuses relay responsible for charging. Your battery doesn't have or hold voltage and air bags are first in the system as good indication of power lose unless is actual air bag fault

What would make the fans not come on and cool the radiator?
Hello Anonymous,
Before replacing the fan motor try hot wiring it to see if the motor will run. Disconnect the two wire connector at the fan motor and run two jumper wires from the battery. If you get the polarity backwards the fan will still run, just backwards... but it will answer the question of whether or not the motor is bad. If the motor runs on the hot wire setup, it's good and the problem lies somewhere else like the radiator fan relay.
This relay is located near the driver's side front wheel well. Go under the car and find the wires leading to the radiator fan on the drivers side. Trace them back and you will see they go to a waffer shaped solid state relay bolted to the car near the wheel well. It measures about 1 1/2 inches across and is about 1/4 inch thick.
Severe corrosion or heat damage to the aluminum mounting bracket may be the culprit. .

Stalls after 15 miles alternator light on
1. Start your vehicle
2. while running, disconnect the red battery cable from the battery.
3. If it dies, it is your alternator
4. If it continues to run then it will be your battery.

Why does it seem as though my battery is completely dead but it isn't?
A bad cell could have too much internal resistance when the battery has to draw many amps to turn starter over. Put headlights on then hit the starter, if the headlights go off, the battery is bad or a connection at the battery cable or ground cable is dirty.
If you have a voltmeter, attach to battery and notice voltage of ~12v or greater, then hit starter, if battery is bad, the voltage will go from ~12v to under 9v and result is starter won't turn over the engine.

Where is the EGR located
To find the EGR valve: locate your exhaust manifold (the first part on the front of the engine). There is a metal tube coming out of the driver's side and goes to the rear of the engine. This metal tube feeds exhaust gases to the EGR valve

My 1998 Dodge Neon keeps running hot
Make sure your fluid is up where it should be in your rad. Make sure your hoses are not kinked and is your rad clean on the inside. You may have to flush it out.
I would change your thermostat as it could be seized shut as well. I would put a new thermostat before tearing a lot of things apart

Installed new caliber and rotor caliber still locking up, is master cylinder bad?
when you are done with a brake job it is always important to make sure you can slide the caliper both inward and outward by hand to ensure that there is no sticking, (that is with the pads in place and caliper piston completely depressed into the caliper) it is not rare to find that a piston that is very hard to depress back in the caliper is due to deterioration of the inner lining of the brake hose, if you have problems pushing the piston back into place most likely this is your problem. I have strong hands and is most vehicles I can push the piston back into the caliper by hand.
