RE: CHARGING PROBLEMS 95 NEON
I'd use a voltmeter, see if the battery has a full charge and that the alternator is charging.
It could be that something is draining the battery after everything is turned off. With the key turned off, take a battery cable loose, use a testlite between the cable and battery post. If the lite comes on bright and stays on, you have a drain. It would probably be better to check amp draw than to use the testlite, but. If there is a drain, you can pull the fuses, one at a time, when you pull the fuse that kills the lite, you found the problem circuit. There should be some drain, but not much.
