My '95 2WD won't start
Newbie here.
My '95 with 91,000 mi won't start. It cranks hard but won't fire. I hear a clicking (relay?) under the dash or hood when the key is in the run position. It ran great last night, but nothing this morning.
I'm only a little bit of a car guy when it comes to diagnostics, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Jim

Thanks for the link. I'll check for codes again.
This is why I thought the flash codes were unavailable on this vintage:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Check Engine Light (CEL) Codes
Information gathered by SinCity R/T from www.dakota-durango.com- reproduced with permission from both websites.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000 and newer Dakotas and Durangos have a built-in system that can display check engine light (CEL) codes without the use of a scanner. 1999 and earlier Dakotas/Durangos must be read with a scanner, check your local dealership or auto parts store for assistance.
To check your engine codes:
Turn the key to ON (not start), OFF, ON, OFF, ON and leave it there. If you look in the odometer window the codes will flash any code(s) with a small delay between each result. Each code should be in a P#### format, and will say PDONE when completed - turn your key to OFF and remove. Use the OBD code list to determine what problem the computer detected.
To reset your engine codes:
Remove the negative terminal of your battery (10mm wrench).
Turn your ignition key to START and hold it there for about 15 seconds.
Turn your ignition key to OFF and remove it.
Connect the negative terminal of your battery.

What he is referring to by 99 and earlier is 99-97.
95-88? is OBDI which is readable by the flashes of the check engine light.
96 is OBDII but OBDI codes can be brought up by the flashes of the check engine light for ease of use.
97-99, I'm assuming there is nothing that can be done without a scanner.
2000-up will have the codes displayed
