96 dodge dakota no start what is auto shut down relay

ASD relay ! Is there B+ voltage to the coil's ? Fuel pump relay electrical circuit diagnostic's . Do you have an know how to test with a DVOM digital volt ohm meter ? You can check out wiring diagrams at http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html ! The ASD - auto shut down relay power's up the fuel pump relay , ignition system an some other thing's . It's in the under hood fuse box !

The auto shut down relay controls power to the coil and fuel injection so if on power is at the coil once the engine dies this is normal check cranking it should return but no spark then test the crank shaft sensor iit is on back of engine passenger side bolted to block.

Well there is no shut-off fuse, but there is a 20amp fuse that powers the auto shutdown relay and the fuel pump relay.
It should be in the fuse box in the engine compartment, and the location should be in your owners manual.

The Dakota doesn't use a switch it has what is called an emergency shut down relay, it is relay #3 in the under hood power distribution box. Also the fuel pump relay is located in the same box, it is relay #5. What symptom do you have?

check the auto shut down relay,check fuel pump relay and the fuel pump pressure

Check the auto shut down relay. It powers up the coil. But only for 3 seconds after you turn the key on or when cranking. If you just have the key on, you won't have any power at the coil.

I HAD THIS SAME PROBLUM AND IT WAS THE OXIGIN CENSER MIGHT WONT TO TRI THAT ??

Hello this is a feature to stop the engine and exhaust system from filling up with gas when spark is lost! years ago fuel would be delivered as usual and you Eng and converter would be full of gas real hazard back then!!!!now they built into computer when spark fails fuel automatically shuts off safety feature??? or not? so i would start to test coil this is a good place to start and if you have engine light on plug in OBD 2 scan tool to retreve the fault hope this helps you out and if you do not have a proper spark tester tool i would invest in one most auto parts stores usually carry them!!! $15-$30 dollars usually.John

a bad crank sensor or dist pickup plate can cause this.... check the fuses in the fuse block under the hood for any blown ..... a bad auto shut down relay may cause it .....try putting a test light on the green and orange wire and see if it lights up when you try to crank it

It's under the hood usually on the driver side fender well. It's commonly known as an ASD Relay. Check the electrical part of the ignition switch. The "on" position of the ignition switch may not be working either.
