Fuse blows in 2000 neon
The number 10 (15 amp) fuse in the fuse block on the end of the dash blows. The fuse controls the engine relay and engine module. When the fuse blows the engine competely shuts off and the car quits. The lights, radio, etc continue to work. Any ideas what is causing the problem?
It first blew after my daughter backed the car out of the driveway and drove forward about 50 feet. The next time it blew, she had backed out of a parking place and put the car in drive and the fuse blew. It was taken back to the shop and when a new fuse was put in but as soon as the car was out in drive it blew again. A new fuse was put in and the car did fine but it is still at the shop since I do not want to have it on the road and have the fuse blow and the car die in traffic. Any advice would be appreciated. |

Same problem, anything new?
gkwright76,
Have same problem on 2001 Plymouth Neon, but no ideas of cause yet because still trying to find a manual with wiring diagram of this circuit. Now odometer shows "FUSE" even though all check OK. Could not send you question directly, so asking here: Have you discovered any additional information, or solved the problem yet? Looking for help too. Thanks for posting your problem here; makes me think maybe it isn't a uncommon problem. OK to reply directly if desired, but maybe others will benefit if a solution is found. brennans |

I have a 2000 neon also with the number 10 fuse problem. Mine blew and keeps blowing when ignition is put in run. Have traced it to the 30 amp starter fuse. If anyone has solved this problem please let me know.

Re: Fuse blows in 2000 neon
When a fuse keeps blowing, more than likely you have a bad ground or exposed wire somewhere. You gotta start tracing wires and locate it/them.

Re: Fuse blows in 2000 neon
Did anybody ever find a solution to this problem. I am having the same problem with my wife's 2001 Neon. It seem's to only do it when the motor is in gear, and stress is put on it. Like say hitting the gas while holding the brake.

Re: Fuse blows in 2000 neon
check under the front of the car by the main computer. there is a wireharness that runs between the computer and the motor mount. when in gear the motor rubs the harness and is grounding out the wire. that was my problem had to relocate the wire harness.

Re: Fuse blows in 2000 neon
Yeah thanks, I just got your message today (3-27-06) and I found it on 3-25-06. And it was exactly where you said it was. Too bad I couldn't find this message board a week and a half ago. Me and my father-in-law popped the hood, and that was almost the first place he looked. So we found it! Thanks!

Re: Fuse blows in 2000 neon
Glad I could help you and anybody else out in that area. I had to take mine to my mechanic and he found it for me, If I had waited anylonger I would have gone bald from pulling my hair out.

Re: Fuse blows in 2000 neon
Yea... I checked the wires and harnesses in between the motor mount and the computer (Just like the one guy above said) I found a few bad ones, but we taped them up so they wouldn't rub against anything, and it still stalls and blows out the engine ignition feed fuse... I can't figure it out!?
