my beloved neon...
of almost 240000 miles...
went crazy on the freeway

i was drivng along doing like 65-70
and the speed/tach/gas and temp **** went dead then back

my neon is dying :'(

does anyone know how i can prevent this?

 

Gauge Repair

take a look at this, should fix it up.

 

yeah take your gauge cluster out and do that then they work like a champ again

 

mine did that a couple of weeks ago...went out and then came right back on...just like it resetted itself... how many miles does your Neon have on it? mine has 238,xxx but by the end of the day its gonna have 239,000

 

mines only got like 80xxx and it did it so miles arent really an issue

 

Your neon isn't dying...LOL...just a little cough! Fix the gauges or get a used cluster.

 

this is a semi related problem but on a car that isnt a dodge product. my friend recently told me her odometer stopped working. the rest of the instrument panel works. any idea what would cause that? Im probably not going to attempt to fix it but ive never seen the inside of one of those things and have no idea how they work. just curious.

 

^^^A gear might have broke off in the cluster. On my wife's 2000 Sebring, here trip odometer doesn't work because the little plastic gears broke a few teeth.

 

I hope thats not a complaint lol

Edit: failed to notice it said "trip".

 

hope my baby makes it up into the 200,000 mark, now it has around 11?,000 something, so does that make mine middle aged or im I considered elderly yet lol?
