I agree, save time and $$. Strip the housing off of the harness to the ASD and fuel pump relays on the driver's side of the engine compartment. You'll probably find that the power splice is corroded. Check the FAQ section for more detail.

I have the same issue, well I think.. But I checked the faq section search and there is nothing on the fuel pump relay or the ASD showing up in the search.
Can anyone tell me what a ASD is ? I know you guys said its on the driver side of the engine but I dont know exactly where to look for the wire.

You have to look in the FAQ inside this 1st Generation Dakota section. A few posts above this one. It has a green arrow on the left side pointing to it.

Truck will not start- A common problem in the trucks, primarily ones made between 1993 Through 1995, was failure (corrosion) of the splice that feeds battery power to the automatic shutdown (ASD) and fuel pump relays. If these relays do not get battery power, your truck will not be able to start. This could also cause intermittent problems, or could possibly "kill" the truck when driving down the road. The splice is located underneath the Power Distribution Center (PDC), which is the black box located behind the battery. To Troubleshoot
