Replying to: mwsmitty (Jan 14, 2008 2:55 pm) Did you ever find out what caused the problem? I have the same problem. I replaced the relay and found that it was not the problem. A tech at a dealership advised that I replace the headlight switch. I changed that out and the problem is still there. Any thing you can add? Thanks, cm2381 |

Hi , I have a 90' dodge dakota 4 cyl. pickup. going 50 miles an hour and just stops running. No spark plug fire. No spark from coil center line. Distributor coupler disconnect - cross lines 2 an 3 and no spark from coil. Coil is good. check for open in lines 2 and 3, good to comp. Negative line from computer to coil is positive charge 12 volt when ignition is on, No charge on the positive line to the coil. When ignition is turned on a charge of voltage is measured in meter at distributor coupler line number 1 orange- then goes away. Why no spark? Why positive charge on negative line to Coil? Why does charge on line 1 go away? Coil good. Lines clear. Battery good 12 volt. Fuel pump good with fuel. fuses good. tires have air  Today

I have a 1994 Dodge Dakota with 160000 miles. One evening, the headlights failed as I was driving home, and I had to use the high beams, though I had to pull back on the dimmer switch manually (for over 10 miles.) As soon as I let go of the switch, the highbeams went off, and they would not stay on by themselves The parking lights and all others are fine. My mechanic said it was likely the turn signal/dimmer switch assembly on the steering column was bad. I replaced it myself, but it did no good. The headlight switch was replaced several months ago when I had an earlier problem so it is ruled out for the time being. I'm convinced that it's a fuse or relay problem under the hood. All of the fuses in the cab are fine. The fuse box or PDC (?) on the drivers side next to the battery contains several large square fuses, but I have no way of testing them, and don't know what all of them are as I have no owner's manual. Please email me at KC8WJG  aol.com with any help or relevant comments.

Replying to: jac11 (Jan 13, 2008 2:44 pm) Key does not turn (like it's the wrong key!) I hope the "mallet" suggestion works. This truck is new (only 10,000 mi) I saw another post where a guy had a locksmith fix it...twice!
