| Just had the instrument panel replaced due to a fried power transistor on the i/c board. repair lasted about 1 hour and then replacement instrument panel failed also. appears to be a short in the dash light circuit. this causes fuse # 15 to blow which removes power from the parking lights, and the tail lights. *tr | |||

| 2004 dodge neon lost head lights while driving late at night. had there not been traffic in front and behind, i would have ran off the road. multi function switch harness melted connector to multi function switch causing short to fuse 16. prior to fuse 16 blowing, a melted plastic smell was coming from the column cover. replaced multi function switch which showed signs of overheat (copper tarnished). while disconnecting the mfs harness, the connector was overheated (melted) and was falling apart. both fuses (17 & 18) to the headlamps were intact so issue is inside the cab. i still need to have the harness connector to the mfs replaced. *tr | |||

| I was driving my 2004 dodge neon srt4 on the evening of november 2nd 2008 when my headlights failed. they were cutting off and on. i drove the vehicle home in the dark since i don't have the money for a tow. i checked on srtforums.com for an explanation of the issue and was directed to a posting about the wiring harness burning up inside the steering column. sure enough my harness and connector is fried. this could have led to a fire and will be a costly repair. this problem has occurred in many other peoples vehicles. this should be a recall since it is due to a manufacturer defect. not to mention i could have crashed since it was dark. *tr | |||
