Default 2008 Raider (Dakota) Control Module Issue

I have a 2008 Raider (Dakota) that has a dashboard that is constantly resetting/reinitializing every few seconds. Radio/Headunit doesn't get any power either, but AC/Heat works just fine. I was able to pull out the IOD fuse and the dashboard mostly works fine, but tire pressure goes off, radio still doesn't get power, the dash says noFUSE, and nothing works not even lights or remote lock if they key isn't in the ignition.

Dealership tried replacing the dashboard, still same issue. They said they aren't sure but they think it might be the control module. I looked online but there are several different control modules. Any idea which ones it could be or which one it most likely is?

Dealership is just throwing parts at it hoping for a fix?

Hi Zatek,

I'd be happy to follow up with the dealership on the diagnostic process if they are still unsure as to what is causing the concern you're experiencing. Please let me know.

fuse box and forward control module need to be replaced, during manufacturing some of the boxes weren't sealed correctly and have begun getting corrosion in them, my Dakota experienced the same issues your having, but mine also included non working tail lights. once replaced all issues went away.
