The alternator is accessed from UNDER the vehicle LEFT SIDE facing the engine bay.

Find the belt, it the engine spins the belt and the belt spins the alternator which charges the battery. so the alternator is somewhere on the belt. I cant say exactly cause i dont own a neon

The alternator is always under the snakey belt that rotates the crank shaft, the water pump and the alternator. It is actually the crankshaft pulley that rotates the water pump and the alternator because the cranshaft has the power.

Just above the right side drive axle on the motor. its not easy to see
