The computer in 1997 dodge neon is it the same from 1998dodge neon?

Answer 1

check the part numbers on the computers. It'll have 6 or 7 numbers with 2 letters at the end. These 2 letters can be different. They change with a software upgrade. AA upgrades to AB then to AC and so on.

::::IMPROVEMENT::::

the computers from 1997-1999 neons are 100% interchangeable, just make sure that if you swap your computer with another, it came from a 1997-1999 neon, WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION as the car you intend to put it into, not sure if the computer from an auto will throw a check engine light if put in a manual, i would assume so though, because a manual has a clutch solenoid as opposed to a torque converter solenoid, but, if you put a computer from a manual into an automatic, you WILL get a check engine light, due to the fact that a computer from a manual does not have the programming to run the torque converter solenoid

for those of you with a 1995 or a 1996 neon wondering about interchangeability, the 1995 neon is only compatible with a 1995 computer, the connectors are COMPLETELY different

1996 neons, yes, you can use a 1997+ computer, but it is not recommended, because the pin in the connector that runs the radiator fans are in a different location, which means your radiator fan will not run, so you will have to modify the connector, which is not recommended (FOR EXPERIENCED PEOPLE ONLY, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU BREAK YOUR CONNECTOR)
