There is no such thing on a 1993 Dakota. Let me know what kind of problem you are having and maybe I can help you.

Yes this may help try a new ignition switch .i had a 93 and it done the same thing to me .hope this help you ....

I do not believe that it does.

Check fuel pressure at test port, fuel filter and inspect the whole fuel line for kinks & crimps. If that doesn't work disconnect the fuel filter then use high pressure air to blow from the pressure regulator to the removed filter to ensure that the line is clear and open. Hook everything back up and check for pressure.

it depends on which transmission you have. the NP2500 uses 10w-30 if i remember right. I don't remember if a the NP2500 was an option in 93'. The AX-15 uses syncromesh, 10w-30 synthetic, Redline MTL, 75w-90 GL3 or GL4. DO NOT USE GL-5 oils. Dodge/Chrysler books made a mistake on this. From experience GL-5 oil make the brass syncro-rings sticky. Toyota used the same transmisison and calls for GL-3 or GL-4 oils. I've been using Redline MTL for about 50k miles. It shifts smoother and and doesn't get sticky when very cold. If it has the NV3550 transmission, it uses the syncromesh or Redline MTL oil.

you can get guide from many sites.. i know few error codes/ fault codes, wiring diagrams, schematic diagrams, torque specs, engine info, switches functioning, assemble, disassembly, complete refurbish, repair, installation every single thin g is covered within seconds u can get the access and it's totally illustrative complete

Auto Shutdown kills the power to the coilpacks.

Simple match up the colors of each wire but look for closely as some wires may for example be white and the other may be white with a black stripe on it. Just an example for all wires just be sure they match up with coordinating color. Good Luck.

My personal suggestion would be to go for these repair catalogs. I know this website www.reliable-store.com that i used to buy them from, and they sold online it was very good manual. Go ahead, I bet.

If you're comfy with manuals then i know few websites that can help you with it. Bcause I've got it from various websites so I know how each site deals. try www.reliable-store com . Very helpful

well you answered your own question get a 10 dollar deck @ the yard or buy a new one

Does it spit, sputter, backfire, make noises, smoke ? Engine and transmission information .

that pin is held in by the clamping action of the two halves of the carrier

Go to the junk yard and see if they will let you test it with a similar box off one of the junked Dakotas.

Check primary voltage to ignition coil, engine cranking, dark green wire with orange tracer. Check the same wire at fuel injectors, that voltage comes from asd relay. I'm not saying the relay is faulty, check the crank sensor. Any applicable trouble codes?

If this happened suddenly, and the Dakota had been working properly before that, it's probably the linkage. I don't know if you have mechanical linkage (cable or rods) or hydraulic (master cylinder and slave cylinder), but it shouldn't be too hard to find and correct the problem.
