To find the correct wiring colors for *your* 2000 Dodge Neon, you'll need to:
* Consult a wiring diagram: The best approach is to find a wiring diagram specific to your car's stereo system. You can often find these online through sites specializing in automotive repair manuals (some are free, others require a subscription). Searching for "2000 Dodge Neon radio wiring diagram" should yield some results. Pay close attention to whether the diagram is for a factory or aftermarket stereo.
* Use a wiring harness adapter: If you're installing an aftermarket stereo, a wiring harness adapter specifically designed for a 2000 Dodge Neon is highly recommended. These adapters connect your new stereo to the car's existing wiring harness, eliminating the need to identify individual wires and potentially causing damage. Auto parts stores sell these.
* Use a multimeter: As a last resort, you can carefully use a multimeter to test the wires' functions. This is more advanced and requires caution to avoid short circuits. You'll need a wiring diagram to understand which wire does what (power, ground, speakers, etc.).
Caution: Working with car wiring requires care. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting any work to prevent accidental short circuits.
