Hi everyone. I am having a problem with my 95 Dodge Dakota 3.9L. Before
I go ahead and put a new computer in(Anyone have one for sale?), I want to see if anyone else has
experienced this problem and knows what may be causing it. At random,
the A/C will turn on and the OverDrive will turn off at the same time.
Clicking the OD button has no effect on it and all of the fan/air
conditioning controls are turned off compeletly yet the A/C is still
running strong. My guess is it's one of two things, either the computer
is going haywire or there is a loose ground somewhere. I haven't had a
chance to really look it over, but has anyone else had this happen? I
did check the fuses and relays and all is fine there.

 

i have one that i took out of my dakota a couple of years ago. what will you give me for it? i was going to put it on ebay now that i dug it out of the garage. i can check the mileage on it if you would like for me to.

 

Do you have the Product number so that I can make sure it is compatible with mine? Should be right on the front side of the ECM and be something like 56028483. Was it out of a 95 with a 3.9 and auto transmission? If it matches up, I will make you an offer.

 

For those that are interested, I have finally narrowed down the problem and it is in fact the computer. It is actually the socket on the computer where the harness plugs into that is causing the problems. Even the slightest amount of pressure on the socket will cause the truck to do some crazy things and then stall. Hope this helps anyone else who may be having problems with their dakota. Putting the computer in the engine bay has to be one of the worst designs chrysler could come up with. This causes anything for stalling at any time and any speed to A/C and Overdrive turning on/off at will, etc..

 

So anyone have any for a 96 dak? 3.9 auto.
