Electrical issues on 2000 Dakota--any ideas?
On my beater 2000, the following don't work:
--cruise control--no functionality, but indicator comes on dash when I attempt to engage. --instrument cluster lights --AC and blower motor--occasionally comes on, but generally not --12V accessory plug and cig lighter--former worked until yesterday... Interesting that not all failed at the same time. I had 50% of instrument cluster lights for awhile, then none. I had use of the 12V plug (to run an orange whoopie light) until yesterday, then zip.) All fuses are intact. Are any or all of these controlled under one relay? I haven't tried replacing any of them yet. Any ideas where to start? Maybe some grounding issues? Thanks in advance. |
The cruise control, lighter socket and instrument cluster light problems are probably all caused by a bad Central Timer Module. The only way to test it to be sure is at the dealership with the DRB scan tool. The intermittent A/C blower motor not working may be because of a bad blower motor resistor pack. If that's not it it could be the control head, but I'd check the resistor first, it's a real common problem on Dakota's.
