knighthawk Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 maybe one of you MoPar guys got a Neon ? I'm working a 2004 , that was hit in the right front corner, ( totaled actually ) , problem is, I can not find the wire for windsheild washer pump . The wire for all the lights were ripped out also, but i figured those out . So, I need to know.....where the wire that plugs in to the bottom of the washer motor actually comes from, in the harness for the lights ?,,,, separate harness from the dash ?..... I just don't see it any wires hanging in this area !........thanks Quote
randroid Posted November 25, 2011 Report Posted November 25, 2011 knighthawk, I can't help you there but I have found wiring diagrams for my Lady Wife's 2004 Stratus on-line through Google and you might find one for a Neon. Second best (emphasis on the "second") is when she gets home tonighr I can look at hers and at least tell you the color combination on it because it wouldn't surprise me if the wiring harnesses were the same. -Randy Quote
knighthawk Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Posted November 26, 2011 thanks,maybe I''ll have to go a dealer or junk yard to find it .....Just hoping for for the easy way out.......... Quote
Desotodav Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Knighthawk: Maybe you could just go and buy one of the 150 brand new 1997 Chrysler Neons (with zero mileage) that are for sale in Singapore for $1350 each. Nobody knows how the company was able to acquire such a large stock of brand new (14 year old) cars. Apparently they come with a spare wheel but no stereo. I heard about it in my club newsletter and found a link on the internet for the same... http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/10/singapore-company-selling-off-150-brand.html . Desotodav Quote
randroid Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Hawk, Just for the sake of argument and that I'm finding a lot of humor here why in the name of tickety-poo would you give a half-farthing where the hell the wire came from or, even worse, where it's going? The stinking car is totaled and not going anywhere anybody would need to see through a clean windshield in order to be a respectful driver! Is this one of those quizzical posts like Don makes now-and-then but we're just not told it's a riddle? I love it! -Randy Quote
knighthawk Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Posted November 26, 2011 guess I should have started this post by saying.....I've been hired to fix up this 2004 Dodge Neon by the owner., technecaly it hasn't been totalled l yet, but the repair estament is alot more than the value,which to me , means it could have been totalled . I just assumed that by saying it was totalled, it would be an easy way to say how much damage it has. ....... They ( the owner's family ) want me to fix, so I'm goibg to fix it !.......and...........part of the damage is the washer tank and pump are gone and so is the wire going to it. So therefore, when I get the new tank I willl need to plug it into something .......better ? Quote
Niel Hoback Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Just give 'em a bottle of windex, some paper towels and tell 'em how much money they saved. Quote
randroid Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 knighthawk, I wasn't trying to be offensive and I don't think you took it that way but you must admit the scenario does have a humorous bent, sort of like when you wreck your truck to get enough insurance money to make the payment on it. I'll look at Lynn's Stratus when she gets home. -Randy Quote
Eneto-55 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Knighthawk, I for one do not find anything strange in your question, or regarding the fact that you are fixing a car which is, or might have been, "totaled". That doesn't really mean much, actually. I don't have an answer for your question, so I did not respond, although I had read your post soon after you posted it (before anyone had responded). I read it because I had a 98 Neon, until it was hit and "totalled" by the other insurance company (it was the fault of their insured driver). This was several years ago, so although it was 6 years older than the 2004 you are fixing now, it was only a couple of years older or so at the time than this one is now. Anyway, the damage was actually minor. Headlight, headlight housing, right front fender, inner fender, bumper (the steel part), and the bumper skin. I got a complete fender & bumper & skin for $85.00 at a you-pull-it salvage. But the insurance company would not allow me to keep it without forcing me to get a salvage title, and then going through the whole rig-a-ma-role of taking it to one of several inspection stations in the whole state of Ohio. I was actually going to do it, but then when I took the damaged bumper skin off of the car, I realized that the one I had purchased at the salvage did not have the vin reference tag, even though I had a receipt with the vin of the vehicle off of which I took it. In reading the instructions on the Ohio web-site, it appeared to me that if they saw that, they would impound the car, so I let the insurance company have it, although it still burns me that they can do this - basically force you to sell a car you do not want to sell. (I even offered to take a settlement for a bit less than they had determined the car was worth, and they were bull-headed about it - they would not settle for any amount that would not total the car.

Niel Hoback Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Did you change insurance companies right after that? Quote
Eneto-55 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Did you change insurance companies right after that? Neil, Is this question for me? I guess I wasn't clear on that (my wife tells me that I can go on and on about something, instead of just getting to the point) - anyway, the insurance company I was talking about was the insurance of the driver who hit my car (my daughter was driving). The other driver just flat pulled right out in front of her point blank, and she (my daughter) didn't have a chance to stop. She got on the brakes, but it was too close. So no, it wasn't my own insurance company, but then they did have the audacity to write me shortly after, to try to get me to switch to their company! Neto Quote
Niel Hoback Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Sorry, I spaced on that. Insurance companies tend to upset my thinking. I'm crossing Ohio Monday and now I'm worried about Ohio insured drivers! Quote
randroid Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 Knighthawk, The washer tank in Lynn's 2004 Stratus is buried in the fender and there's no way I can get to it to check the wires. Rats! I wanted to be of some help. Sorry. -Randy Quote
JerseyHarold Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 Try this link to an online parts catalog for the Neon: http://www.autoricambi-euroamerica.com/2004_Chryler_Dodge.pdf Quote
