1995 Chrysler Neon LE from Sweden - Comments

An ABS sensor broke at 95000km and another at 150000 km.

AC condenser sprung leak at 100000 km. The condenser broke once again a year later, fixed on warranty though.

AC pipe broke because of rust at 150000km.

Brake-lines sprung leak at 187000km because of rust.

Engine leaked oil when I bought the car, since it never got worse I never had it fixed.

There were some rust on the doors and in the engine compartment. Paint was also peeling of from the roof.

Even though there was quite a lot of problems with the car I still found it very reliable. It always started in the morning and never left me standing by the side of the road.

It was reasonably quick and the handling was excellent.

The comfort was very good considering the size of the car. No problem using it for long road trips. However, the cabin was very noisy due to a smashed window. The garage claimed it was impossible to get a tight fit on the replacement window.

Overall it was a very pleasant car. Considering it was quite cheap to buy the overall cost of owning could have been worse. If Chrysler just focused on rust prevention they would probably make quite trouble free cars.

My Car is: Chrysler Neon 1995 LE, 16v SOCH 133 HK, europeean/sweden.

I got code 12 problem.

Can anyone tell me what that means in detail & howto PROPERLY repair it?

When I turn the ignition, its "working" but the car won't start at all.

No "fire/igniton/sparks", seems like its totally dead!

And after a couple of ignitions, it shows 1 beep & 2 beeps followed by end 55, is this error "enough" to get my motor not starting?

Also I got a problem with my ABS system, the ABS light is on in the dashboard, i'we cleaned the speed sensors "weels" in the front tires, but in back they're "capsled" into the brake system, so now only the manual brake system is wokring.

Can anyone advice me howto troubleshoot ABS/Controller/sensors?

Or is it something else that is causing this light?

I would really appreciate all help, thanks in advice!

No crank sensor problem, it sparked like h... as I cranked it...

And the cables to/from battery is checked OK, no rust or anything.

What other thing can cause this problem?

And the fuel pump is humming when I try to start it.

And can anyone help me troubleshoot the check ABS light?

I'we cleaned the ABS "wheels", what other things can cause this to turn on? & now only manual brake works.

Its now not legal to drive it roads, cause I don't have the cash to fix this.

So any hints would be werry much appreciated!
