What fuse is it? See what it feeds in the owners manual and start from there. In most cases it's a bad component causing an overload, or a short to ground. Good luck

He must be telling you that he doesn't want you in church anymore.[sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley2.gif]

It should say what the fuse is for on the inside of the fuse cover. It is also listed in the owners manual. It sounds as though something is shorting out. You should call the local dealership the next time this happens and make them tow it back and fix the problem, because this is something that is not going to go away by itself. They are responsible for it for at least 3yrs/36,000 miles, so quit wasting your money on something that they should be paying for.

That is the same fuse that blew on mine a few times. But that is because of the turbo timer I was wiring in. Everytime I turned on the car, it blew. It was a brand new greddy TT. I decided to take it apart and found the ground wire wasn't soldered to the main board. That was my problem. I think that fuse if for the ignition components.

It doesn't matter if they are an SRT dealer or not as long as it is a Dodge dealer, the electrical is almost completely the same between the SRT-4 and a regular Neon. Besides, they still have all the manuals and info available to get the job done right.

Yea, I called them and they have yet to call back. I bought those oil changes with the car and then when I was reading on here I found out I should use mobil 1, and I told them I want my money back without the 75 dollar cancelation fee because they should have never sold them to me because the vehicles they sell those oil chnages to should be the kind that take the regular oil.

I will be running regular dino oil until the second oil change which is when I'll switch to the Mobil 1 synthetic. It is good to use regular oil for the first 5,000 miles to allow the engine to break in properly, since the synthetics superior lubricating qualitys will actually keep it from breaking in. But I know some cars that come from the factory with synthetics already in them.
