1997 Neon dies when turning right

I have a 1997 Neon, automatic transmission. At first the car would sometimes die when you turn right, and only on a right turn, never a left turn. Then it started to sometimes die when you would hit a bump, now it dies just driving along, no bump, right or left turn. When it dies if you turn it off and wait about 30 seconds it will always start right back up. No problems starting it of a morning. Have put several cans of carb cleaner in as well. Then just recently at night when you turn the headlights on the gauges won't work, but it is only at night with the lights on. During the day with the headlights turned on the gauges work fine. Now it will only drive about 50 feet before it dies. Still will start right back up in about 30 seconds. Idles just fine and can give it plenty of gas while it's idleing and it won't die, only when driving it. We are thinking it could be the wiring harness, but not sure. Any ideas? How do we check and see if it is the wiring harness?

I think you may be right about the harness. With the engine running start tugging and moving wiring around to see if you can get a response from the car when you touch the right spot.

They don't make what your asking for. A wiring diagram is a complicated schematic that you have to know how to read and they are make to specific circuits.
