My Talon is working great but my 2001 Neon is not. I just have a quick question that I can not figure it out.

I left my lights on, and the battery died.

I had someone jump my car

it started but none of the intrument panel lights would come on and my left headlight wasnt working.

I thought it was fuses and I looked and 2 were burnt out... a 10A and 15A, one on the instrument cluster light and a headlight one.

I replaced both fuses and checked all the other ones and everything was good.

I drove the car for a few days and everything was working...

then lastnight I went out, had the car off for about 9 hours. started it up and same thing... the left light was out and no cluster lights...

I really cant figure this out. any suggestions?

Bad relay.

are you quite certain? I have never replaced one of those before just wanna make sure it is before i go out and buy one. How much do relays usally cost?

You sure you didn't cross up or short the booster cables?

Check for other shorted circuits in the wiring also.

I didnt cross them, how do I find out bad wiring?

Inspect for burned or melted wires.

Pin-probing related circuits will lead you to the problem. If you are lucky, it is a short to ground. (or multiple shorts to ground) These are easy to find. Shorts to hot can be difficult.
