Default 1996 Dakota wiring diagram needed

Searching for a short. Will take a charge, start and run. Will restart for several hours, but next day dead. Found one short in the door there must be more.

We have the service manual in the FAQ you can download. Those have the complete wiring diagrams.

As for your problem first it might be the battery. I would say disconnect the battery and night and see if it is dead in the morning.
Another thing is to get a amp meter and unhook the positive and put the leads in between the battery and the connector, see what amps it is pulling when no lights ect are on.

Next you can try unplugging each fuse to see what circuit cuts the amps down. Don't forget the PCM and the radio use slight power to keep up the memory.
