On both sides of the front fenders my '96 Dakota has these spring-loaded twin contact things. I don't know if they lead to wires or vacuum hoses or what. It seems when the hood closes, they make contact or something. Always wondered what their purpose/function was so today I decided to ask Forum members? Thank you.
Thank you very much, never would have guessed that in n a million years.
Here's a suggestion to stop guessing.
At the top of this subforum, there's some stickies. One is for the FAQ. If you open that posting, roughly 1/3 of the way down, you'll find a link to the service manual for a 1996 Dakota.
You'll also find the parts listing for 1994-1996 trucks.
