Very common problem in Neons. You have to pull out the gauge cluster and re-solder 20 joints, here is the website to show you how to do that. This works most of the time. Good Luck! http://www.neons.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=18 Updated URL. Same site, they have just moved over to a new format. http://forums.neons.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=118450
1998 Dodge Caravan Speedometer Has a second connector attached with a white pigtail. What is that used for and will it operate without it?
Depends on what's wrong with the speedometer. Try re-soldering the contacts on the mainboard behind the instrument panel.
the speed sensor.
You can fix the speedometer in your 1994 Oldsmobile 98 by replacing the speedometer cable. If changing the speedometer cable does not fix your speedometer you will need to replace the entire speedometer.
No, the engines are interference.
Most common would be speedometer cable has broken Remove speedometer head and move vehicle to see if cable moves- if not probably broken - if it does probably problem with speedometer head
That engine is only in the Neons.That engine is only in the Neons.
Any mechanic that will listen.
Check the fuses. Sometimes you have to remove and reinstall them.
It can cost $200 to $600 to fix a Dodge Neons ignition. It make cost less if a person can find a better deal at an auto shop. It all depends on the part prices and the labor charges of the shop fixing it.
usually it's the speedometer cable that goes bad, you can reach behind the dash and unplug it from the speedometer and with some pliers undo it from the transmission. If you can spin one end and the other does not spin it is bad.
According to MSN Autos...Dodge Neons were made from 1995-2005
