New member with a crank no start 1995 dodge Dakota
This fixed my 95 dakota
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

I have a 1993 Dakota and I have been curious about this splice for years but don't seem to get all the details. For the record, my splice has never failed. You said the connection that powers the ASD and fuel pump relays corrode and fails. Is there some unique reason why these connections corrode/fail and not others given the birds nest of wires in and around that "splice"? My truck has always been garaged (I'm the only owner) and I have wrapped those wires with that harness cloth tape. Just wondering if there are any other precautions worth taking. I'm thankful this problems has not reared its ugly head on my '93.
That's as good a guess as any I could come up with. I'm not a fan of soldered connections in automotive applications. They're brittle and with all the vibration from running an automobile they are susceptible. I thought maybe that connection was uniquely vulnerable to moisture or road elements or something. Maybe the solder dude was on vacation the day they made my truck.
