I have a similar issue with my 1997 Neon. My fuel gauge works, but my speedometer only works when it feels like it (jumps and then drops to zero) and once my whole cluster didn't come on. I've found this (http://forums.neons.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=118450) that I'm going to try when I get a soldering iron. Also I just discovered my reverse lights don't work either and it's not the bulbs, my best guess is the Neutral Safety Switch because I can start my car in drive and reverse.

I had the same problem, mine was an electrical connection so to fix it i had to
uninstal the gauges to line them up for a better connection and if that didn't work it ment that it wasn't getting enough power or a good enough connection to the battery

2005 dodge neon the gas guage is going crazy,the check engine light is on,speedometer wont work,transmission wont shift out of first. showing a p0700 code.i replaced inflow,outflow sensors and solenoid but...

Hi, where to start: get a scan of your OBD2 connector at your local parts chain. Write down the trouble code and send to us. It will probably be something about the vehicle speed sensor, but please send us the exact code, starting with a "P" and followed by 4 digits. There may be additional codes. The fuel gage may or may not be related--did this all happen at the same time?

Wont shift out of second, no speedometer, gas gage fluctuates

If the speedometer is not working and the transmission will not shift it is usually caused by a bad vehicle speed sensor. The fuel gauge thing is most likely not related. This is usually cause by a bad fuel level sensor inside the fuel tank.

I cannot read if there is any fuel in the tank,how do i repair and also can you quote me how much would anyone typically pay to fix this problem. also my speedometer does not work either but all the lights...

There are a few issues the gage not working could be, a bad fuel sender, a bad gage or a sort in the wires.

The speedometer is most likely a bad cable at 1 end or the other or the gear at the transmission. Or the speedo cluster itself is stripped.

I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Classic. My Tachometer, Fuel Gage, and Speedometer quit working a few months ago. The Oil pressure,and Temperature gages work fine. All fuses are fine. I suspect a grounging...

have you tried working on one problem at a time?
have you check the body computer for any codes?
and to also verify the bus line is ok.
if you find nothing wrong with BCM or bus,
try checking the speed sensor for an output signal or if the gear is bad.

Speedometer quit but sometimes works. 98 neon

Check the ground wire from the engine to the firewall. It is a flat braided uncoated wire and should be easy to distinguish. Make sure that it is clean and tight.

Gas gage not working, speedometer not working, hot/cold gage not working

Either your computer is having major problems, or your voltage regulator is faulty. How bright are your lights? Does your battery ever seem drained? Have you checked all your fuses and any relays with an ohmmeter?
