I have a 1994 Dakota Sport 5.2L 4x4 ext cab. I have a short somewhere that is killing my dash lights and also my Rear running lights. Everything else works great anyone have a clue what the problem could be. Ive taken it to one shop they said that they werent able to locate the short. Any advice would help greatly. I really dont want to get rid of the truck, it was my fathers truck which i grew up with pretty much. He died in 1998 of cancer. So the truck is very special to me since he left it to me.I would absolutly LOVE to get her road worthy again but no one seems to have a clue to what is wrong. Thanks for the help!

 

As for the dash, this is a common problem. View this thread.
For the tail lights, I've read posts about this before, but noone likes to solve their problems and post back when they fixed them [&:].

 

Thanks for the info gonna try it and see what happens!!!!!! Will let ya know what i turn up!
