hi i my truck didn't come with a fuse cover and i am wondering what fuses go to what. what does the number 10 fuse go to?

 

you didn't specify which fuse box, so here are both of them. Courtesy of the FAQ located here: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen-dakota/71332-faq-general-info-common-problems-factory-service-manuals.html

 

I'm assuming that you mean the one under the hood. The diagram above is correct. The radiator fan relay seems to be included in all models, but I believe that an electric radiator fan only came on 4 cylinder trucks.

If you don't have a cover on this box under the hood, you should get one from a wrecking yard ASAP. And in the meantime, get a bread bag and cover it up to protect from moisture. If some of the relays get shorted out, at best you can be left hitch hiking home.

The fuse box under the left side of the dash didn't have a cover, btw.

 

thanks you. and i am wondering y when i change the fuse that my radio is so dim and y can't i hear anything from it

 

Probably a dumb question, but was the fuse blown?

There are two fuses for the radio--one also runs the parking lights, etc. and keeps the channel memory settings and clock in your radio from going away every time you switch off the key. The other fuse is switched on thru the ignition switch--works either in acc or engine run positions.

The reason I ask if you had a blown fuse is that the symptom you describes fits a bad ground better than a blown or bad fuse. A bad ground means that not all of those cute little electrons can get thru--so the lights are dim and the sound is weak.
