I have a 93 dodge dakota that won't start. It

Attempt to start by jumper from battery to 'signal'. If nothing happens, you were sold a bad solenoid/relay.

Most often it is either a problem with the battery or the starter. You could try jump starting it, otherwise might have to tow it----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

check starter,battery must have 12.5+V.

These trucks have corrosion issues in the wiring connections as they age. I would start at the left fenderwell and unplug the starter relay and check those plug contacts first. When my 1992 150 did this, I ended up unhooking and cleaning all the plug in connections on that side of the truck, including the computers. I added di-electric grease to the terminals as well. The problem has not come back. You did not say if the truck restarts hard or not. The ignition pick up inside the distributor may also be a problem, but those normally will just stop working all at once.

If you used a battery cable to the big post
on the starter that the battery cable goes to & it does
nothing,then the starter is bad

You can put battery voltage to the solenoid

Neither test requires the key be on,you going direct

Might try jump starting it. sounds like a battery issue.

is it a continuous clicking or a single click. a single click usualy points to a loose or diry cable. could possibly be starter solenoid also or starter relay.

I have a 93 dodge dakota pick up. When I turn the key I get nothing, The radio and the lights work fine. I had starter checked and the battery changed, It will run if you push it to start but not with the key.
