Default No start no crank 2001 Dodge Dakota Sport

Hello everyone out there.
I am new to this. I have never had to join a conversation to help fix my vehicle. Any help anyone can provide would be great. I am stuck.

2001 Dodge Dakota Sport 3.9 V6 4 x 4

No crank no start

I have been through just about everything I gave up on individual sensors because I couldn’t find the wiring and it was not accessible at the sensor

The CPM tells me it’s OK using the three crank methodI get the code P – done.
I bought an OB– II 5410 it says there’s no data stored, but only gives me codes for the exhaust

I am new to the scanner. I called tech-support. They weren’t able to help me.

I did go through the list and check individual things and again I can find nothing wrong

Five days ago when this started, by the way, it’s been raining ever since. I did find some things wrong and have replaced the following
Coil and starter
Ignition switch
There’s a couple other things I can’t think of right now.


I’ve been through every fuse every circuit checked voltage where I could, put 12 V on the signal wire on the new starter. Had voltage there still no start. I’ve removed relays, Checked them off the board, switched relays, checked the board continuity and voltage. Everything seems fine.

I think it’s in the range sensor/solenoid connector, but I have no way to check them. I don’t have any way to apply 5V with enough amperage to P6 on the connector.

Does anyone know which pin supplies 5Vto the range sensor?

And how would I check the solenoid case connector?

As I understand that they’re both junkyard parts now, the range sensor looks like a real pain to install

Any help work truck is down losing money thankfully this happened in the driveway

No reverse lights, but I can’t find the issue with that either

Best regards,
Don Karcher

If you aren't getting reverse lights, and it won't crank with the key.... does the prndl in the cluster work? (I'm guessing probably not....)
