The Chrysler Neon (1994-1999) is available in both sedan and coupe body styles. It features economical engines, including 2.0-liter inline-four options, delivering a balance of power and fuel efficiency. Key features include air conditioning, power windows, and an AM/FM stereo, catering to budget-conscious drivers.
The fuse box in the Chrysler Neon, typically located in the engine compartment and sometimes under the dash, protects essential systems like the lights, radio, and HVAC by preventing electrical overloads. If a fuse blows, it cuts off power to the specific component to avoid damage.
The relays manage systems such as the starter motor, fuel pump, and cooling fans. These relays control the flow of electricity to high-power systems, ensuring they operate only when necessary. A faulty relay could lead to problems like engine start failure or cooling issues.
Regularly checking the fuse box and relays ensures that the Neon’s electrical systems stay reliable and safe, maintaining its core functionality.

WARNING
- Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating.
- A fuse with a too-high amperage could damage the electrical part and cause a fire.
- On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause a fire.
- If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and fixed.
- Terminal and harness assignments for individual connectors will vary depending on vehicle equipment level, model, and market.
