#178 of 249 Re: 2001 Dodge Dakota ignition won't turn [jac11] by kdulaff Mar 14, 2008 (2:21 pm)
Replying to: jac11 (Jan 13, 2008 2:44 pm) I had same prob with my 2006 Dakota this am. 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! Replies to this message: jac11 (Mar 15, 2008 3:27 pm) kdulaff (Mar 15, 2008 11:18 pm)

Replying to: kdulaff (Mar 14, 2008 2:21 pm) I ended up taking the ignition lock out, cleaning it and lubing it up, but it began doing the same thing in a few days. Finally broke down and bought a new ignition lock cylinder from carlocksandkeys.com for around $40, very quick turn around with 2 day shipping. Easy replacement on my '01 Dakota, now I have 2 different keys, one for door and one for ignition, not big deal with door remotes. Replies to this message: kdulaff (Mar 15, 2008 11:18 pm)

Replying to: jac11 (Mar 15, 2008 3:27 pm) After reading the "mallet solution", I just pushed the key with a little more force into the lock and turned it normally. It turned. Subsequently the lock works fine.   But I'll make a note of carlocksandkeys.com just in case.
#181 of 249 Interior lights stay on by lostcity Mar 16, 2008 (9:07 am)
I have a 97 conventional cab Dakota with a V-6 Engine. This past winter I have noted that the interior lights stay on even when the engine is started. They have started staying on longer and longer now and I have had to take the bulbs out. I suspect it may be a door jam switch. Has anyone else had this problem?   Thanks in advance Replies to this message: lostcity (Mar 22, 2008 5:30 pm)
#182 of 249 instrument cluster lights by johnlevass Mar 17, 2008 (4:03 pm)
I have a 1990 dakota. Only one of the instrument lights work. The turn signal indicators, and all the "idiot" lights on the bottom of cluster do not work. Also the high beam indicator does not work.   Where do I look? The fuses are all good....
#183 of 249 Re: 2001 quad cab sport horn, window, airbag elec prob [gmcguan] by mtrialsm Mar 18, 2008 (4:55 pm)
Replying to: gmcguan (Nov 14, 2007 8:53 am) Today I noticed that my horn also didn't work. 2001 Quad cab. I also love my truck, with 91k miles. I haven't noticed anyother electical problems, the horn beeps with the remote lock. When I touch the horn/aibag pad it seems like the center pad is not as hard to press, seems like something is missing? It presses in very easy where before, it took fire presure to blow the horn? Could be me,,,,,,,,,, Strange, I also just got my truck back from dealer to have the water pump replaced. Mick Replies to this message: dustyk (Mar 22, 2008 4:29 pm)

Replying to: mtrialsm (Mar 18, 2008 4:55 pm) Well, the fact that you're getting an Air Bag lamp illumination AND the horn doesn't work, my first suspect is the clockspring. Could be a faulty horn relay. Your dealer should be able to quickly determine the problem.   Good luck, Dusty

Replying to: lostcity (Mar 16, 2008 9:07 am) Well swapped out the door switch and no joy. Still doing the same thing. Any ideas?

#187 of 249 2000 Dakota charging system trouble by 2parker Apr 04, 2008 (8:11 am)
My 2000 Dodge Dakota frequently will not charge battery on startup, or will stop charging while driving. I've tried replacing alternator, pcm, battery & temperature sensor, and problem remains the same. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: bpeebles (Apr 04, 2008 6:29 pm)
