Replying to: regnar (Aug 11, 2005 7:02 am) If anyone is interested the problem was solved by the dealer. They replaced a part called the >combination switch<. It controls both the turn signals and the 4ways.

Has anyone towed a fifth wheel with a Quad cab and if so what hitch did you use.
#3598 of 4362 Check Engine on 97 Dakota by dakotaman1 Aug 23, 2005 (6:29 am)
For some time now my 97 Dodge Dakota has been displaying the ever-vague "Check Engine" light. My last inspection (May 2005) indicated a possibly faulty PCV valve. Simple Question: On the 97 Dakota, does the PCV valve have a sensor that trigger the warning message? Or must it be coming from some other cause?   p.s. I have heard also that the Dakota is notorious for displaying these messages for possibly no valid reason at all, and that they may be often be "ignored".   Any comments are appreciated!

Replying to: regnar (Aug 11, 2005 7:02 am) Sounds like we have similar problems. Only the right brake light worked on my 97 Dakota. I replaced the bulb in the brake light housing on the back of the cab and now I have no brake lights. I tested the voltage at each location and get 12 volts everywhere but the left rear. I'm so confused! I hope someone can offer a solution.

Replying to: dakotaman1 (Aug 23, 2005 6:29 am) The PCV valve operates directly off of intake manifold vacuum and does not have a specific sensor for it. Diagnostic trouble codes are not displayed without a reason, even on your vintage Dakota. There are certain category fault that initiate a "Check Engine" lamp but after a number of correct operation cycles of the engine they will clear and the Check Engine Lamp will switch off.   Have you checked for the presence of an active diagnostic trouble code in the display?   Regards, Dusty Replies to this message: dakotaman1 (Aug 29, 2005 7:09 am) dustyk (Aug 29, 2005 7:54 pm) dakotaman1 (Aug 30, 2005 7:55 am) and 26 more...

#3602 of 4362 Trottle Position Sensor by independentjlg Aug 25, 2005 (5:38 pm)
Does anyone know if the Trottle Position Sensor can be adjusted on a 1997 Dodge Dakota 5.2 litter   Thanks Replies to this message: bpeebles (Aug 25, 2005 6:44 pm) independentjlg (Aug 26, 2005 11:42 pm)

Replying to: independentjlg (Aug 25, 2005 5:38 pm) I do not beleive it is "adjustable" by design... but if you research it on the internet, you will find a write-up that describes how to elongate the screw-holes so it can be adjusted. As I recall, there is a specific voltage-reading that has been found to be desireable at idle-position which seems to run the best. Replies to this message: independentjlg (Aug 26, 2005 11:42 pm)
