uh.. probably the neons. Cars have pretty good wiring harnesses - if there ever are defective ones there is a recall.. so there is a really good chance that something you added/modified screwed up.

good luck.

Actually I know of a few mazda B2200 that have done that, when your fuse box melts have fun re-wiring

Maybe there was a short circuit in your neon wiring
