In the absence of any diagnostic data, either preliminary visual (fuses, etc.) or actual voltages checks, I'd be suspicious of a defective Central Timer Module (CTM). However, I would suggest getting a wiring diagram and performing some voltage checks. I'm not sure what bearing a bad CTM would have on the ABS lamp illuminating at the moment, but a common component to the power locks, taillights, and headlights is the CTM.  ...

I meant to add this to my question. What bank is BANK 1? The code reader I used mentioned bank 1. Is it the right or left from inside the truck?

After 4 tows to the shop the truck stayed dead long enough for them to find the problem. It turned out to be a "crank angle sensor"-it is attached to the distributor somehow. This thing has been going bad for months but would only stay bad for a few hours, days or minutes so by the time I got it into the shop it would start right up. Finally it died for good. -a $50 part that cost me almost a grand in detective work and towing.

Having a weird issue with my Dakota. 1996 SLT 4x4 V6.   Headlights/tailights do not work Power locks either don't work or when you push one it clicks really fast multiple times.   Also, turning the headlights on, pressing the brake pedal or using the locks will cause the ABS and Brake light (on instrument cluster) to come on.   Checked as many grounds as I could find and nothing seems to work as of yet,...

99 Dokata 5.2L - Won't start. It was getting gas, spark, air... everything was testing OK. I replaced the Crankshaft sensor but it didn't help. Checked the Camshaft sensor. It was reading good at 5V. The next step was to replace the PCM (ugh! $200 bucks minimum!). I cranked it over one last time to see if it kicked out any codes. My son noticed a blue spark close to the passenger side firewall. Sure enough! The heater hose covering...

There is a speed sensor over the differential that is most likely the problem. Not expensive and easy to replace.

I have a 01 Dodge Dakota 4x4 4.7L. I turn on the head lights and there is a delay of 30 seconds to 5 minutes and the dome light flashes with the doors open like a strobe light until the headlights turn on. I have replaced the switch and swapped the horn relay with the head light relay also have checked the wiring and wiggle tested. Another odd thing is the head lamp bulb clicks while the switch ...

I have a 2005 Dodge Dakota, 4.7 V8 4x4. The other day I purchased 3/4 of a tank of 91 octane gasoline in order to completely fill my tank. After filling the tank I drove home and the truck sat there overnight. Before and after the fill up the truck ran excellent, however, the next moring driving away from my home the engine began spit , sputter and misfire and bog down when I gave it gas. I ...

Sorry if this has already been discussed. I searched and found nothing. I am new here, this is my 3rd dakota and probably my last. What idiot engineer would design a 2 wd vehicle using sealed front wheel bearings? Sealed bearings have a very very limited life and a very very limited application and that is not a motor vehicle. With that said - Has anyone taken a front hub apart, got the ...

I just purchased an 06 Mitsu Raider Ext Cab (twin to Dakota) which has the optional Alpine System. This system came with a large subwoofer enclosure box located in the extended cab area. Any Dakota owners out there with this similar option and if so, does anyone know if the enclosure box can be removed without affecting the operation of the remaining speakers? I like the bass, but I would ...

I have a 1990 Dodge Dakota, 3.9 L gasoline engine, two-wheel drive with about 150,000 miles on the odometer. I've been noticing a kind of "swish-swish" sound coming from up front by the wheels and lately it has been getting to be more of a "grind-grind" sound. It seems to happen twice per wheel revolution, although I could not swear to that. I put the front end up on stands and took off ...
