Replying to: wdmar (Dec 10, 2008 4:40 pm) Well, you could have fried a part of the system, such as the brain, and that's a hell of a gremlin to find. HOwever, I'll help if I can. Nice move, with the battery. Hope that wasn't your doing.   Ok, since I got mine fixed, here's what I suggest: FIRST, swap the cables so you are properly able to take advice, and get a good ground, and et cetera.   Second, make sure EVERY SINGLE GROUND in the engine is solid and clean. I took all the bolts out, scrubbed them down to metal on both parts, and the frame, and reconnected.   Third, check every inch of wire, just to be sure that you're not having something short or ground out where it's not supposed to.   I also noticed that I have a problem with my Alternator Tension Bolt rattling loose, and thus the alternator is not turning with the engine, and therefore not charging. Tight=charging. Check it,k?   Hope this helps.   Oh, and replace the battery and possibly the Alternator. Take the alternator to the auto shop and have it bench tested to see if it's operating fully, and at amperage.   Best to you.

Replying to: wdmar (Dec 10, 2008 4:48 pm) Oh, wow! I have this terrible feeling you've blown the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This is where the voltage regulator is located, by the way.   Regards, Dusty
#264 of 391 Re: battery not charging [wdmar] I SHOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THIS FIRST! by dustyk Dec 16, 2008 (6:44 am)
Replying to: wdmar (Dec 10, 2008 4:48 pm) My first worry was that you blew the PCM, but one item that I'm sure has been damaged is the fusible link. The fusible link is a fuse wire that is in the cable that goes from the alternator to the battery. If the fusible link is open you will not charge the battery. A fusible link repair kit is available from a Dodge dealer.   Regards, Dusty

I have a similar problem to the 1988, however, my issue includes blowing the #10 10amp fuse. The dealer does not seem to know how to deal with this and I am about to leave this for my wife as I head to Mid East. Thanks for the help Replies to this message: dustyk (Dec 18, 2008 1:36 pm)

Replying to: pphillips700 (Dec 18, 2008 7:55 am) Can you tell me how the #10 fuse position is labelled?   Dusty

I have a 1999 Dodge Dakota & the interior lights (overhead console & floor lights) stay on when the engine is running. When I turn off the engine the lights go off. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.
