I have a 2001 Dakota that has an intermittent issue whereby the tail lights and the radio go out. All I do is stop the truck, shut it off and then restart it. Seems to reset them both...!

could need a NEW MFS "multi Function Switch" Or Ignition switch sounds like a wire came loose some where and its having a ground issue.

check for battery short inside battery have some one check for ac voltage in battery and alternator out put,,,headlight switch would be next to check or replace

it could be a bad tire belt or the tire is worn enough to cause a noise, it could also be a bearing on that side of the truck.

There is a kit for finding the leak. First degrease any parts related to the AC system (hoses and lines especially). Most auto parts stores sell a kit that has a UV (ultraviolet) dye in it for this purpose. You charge the system with it and after a few days of running it you can shine a UV light on it and the area where the leak is will glow and show you the general area of the leak.

if it was the relay all the windows would not work, that being said now lets try to find it so I am going to assume that you've tried both window switches the drivers master and the passenger door and no luck if you take off the door panel on the passenger door and run a hot wire to the window motors connector and if the window functions we have a bad switch contact on the master and possibly the passenger door disconnect the plugs and clean them and if the switches can be taken apart clean the inside of corrosion and re grease with carbon conductive grease or w d 40 /p b blaster if you have no window function when you do the hot wire and ground connection then the motor is bad and must be replaced

If you go to ( www.autozone.com ) and sign up for free access to parts prices etc, you will also get access to step by step instructions for repairs as well in service manual section. Then they can follow pictures etc on line.

have the pressures checked in the a/c system. if its too low the compressor will turn on and off a lot. it could also be a faulty pressure switch.

Is it the fuel pump, or oil pump that you need to change?

go to the dealer they will show you a diagram for free Auto zone will have this and show you the part to and where it is

There is a charge kit that contains a dye that is visible with UV light. You can put this in and then check for leaks using a uv light.

OBD PO302 type that codes are on the internet

Bands are adjusted when you build a transmission You do not need to adjust The amount of band thickness & wear, is so small, that the trans is shot, long before you have any wear that needs to be adjusted If you turn the screw the wrong way, the band falls off at the ends & you can't reach in there to replace it & the unit has to come out & apart You will see no difference if you brought that band down tight on the drum & then loosened it the correct number of turns The servo will apply the band & there is no reasons for a delay Your 2001 is 13 years or more old If the fluid has not been changed every 2 or 3 years since new,it is about to expire
