I had this problem and nobody could figure out the why. After searching on the internet, I found the problem was coused by soldering issues on the circuit board for the gauges. My husband was able to resolder according to the instructions on a web page found at Neon.org. Search for speedometer and use 1st gen for the forum to search. This will bring results regarding fuses and resoldering. Unfortunately, the resoldering that was done only lasted about a year.

Speedometer of 2003 dodge neon does not work and gas gauge is jumpy. replaced 2 input and output vss sensors and still won't work. no codes show on scanner

some of these have had problems with the dash assembly causing alot of problems with gauges and lights and speedometers.if there are no codes in the computer and weren`t any before you replaced the vss sensors then you spent money you didn`t need to.

How does speedometer work on a 2002 dodge neon

It is located near where the engine is connected to the tranny but on the back side of the tranny near the bottom it looks exactly like the coil plug in

The speedometer and odometer dont work..can this

Sure, it's probably just a loose or broken speedo cable, it runs from the transmission to the firewall. A mechanic can fix it in minutes.

Speedometer quit but sometimes works. 98 neon

Check the ground wire from the engine to the firewall. It is a flat braided uncoated wire and should be easy to distinguish. Make sure that it is clean and tight.
