you can probably get another pcm from a junkyard or something for about $50....or try .org

 

They did change to a smallermicro relay on newer neons but I think they are still a standard type of relay.
Here's a good link for automotive relay info.

100 bucks a pop for a relay GEEZE! I have like 6 of them sitting in my garage.. I'll cut ya a deal, since they are used, 50 bucks a pop

As for going through so many of them, I would definately start tracing your wires and such and make sure nothign is getting pinched and grounded out. See if you have a bad wire somewhere or a bad connection or ground...

 

Rad Fan relay looks nothing like Horn relay.

does anyone know how to test the relay? (ie what each pin is for). i looked and looked in service manual and cant find it.

the wiring is rotten on this car, that is for sure. i had one of the terminals brake off from main harness.

First? I say never go to the dealer period!

 

I'm not sure what the part is with the mounting holes is, but it doesn't look like a relay. Where was it mounted on the car?

 

Ok I think I may have found something. The Haynes manual just shows a standard relay for the fan. The download manual shows a 4 pin solid state speed control relay. Unfortunately there is no photo and no indication of what year it was used. I’m sure this was not used on my 95 Neon.

it is mounted to the body (that's what holes are for), right under the battery tray. Oddly, factory service manual only mentions it a couple of times, i cannot find any direct reference, like removal/installation or fault testing.

 

Sorry about the confusion the 95-96 Neon’s use a conventional relay in the power distribution center.
Read through the following links apparently there was a recall on the 97's.

From what I’ve read the relay is damaged by voltage spikes, the repair involves replacing the relay and adding a jumper wire E/W a protection diode.

This was a recall you should see if Dodge will cover it, like they should have the first time you had it replaced.
