Where on the 93 Dodge Dakota do I find the spot for the code reader? under hood or engine compartment?

  • Anonymous Jun 28, 2011

    Thank you,I noticed the DTC of 55 but isnt that mean the completion of the fault code or that the battery has been disconnected within the past 50 key on cycles. I dont quite understand ? Thank you for any input you have to offer.

That is an OBD1 System

Your code reader won't work

You need OBD1 capable reader or
the adapter for an older scan tool

The connector is in the engine compartment

If you need to know where, I will look in my
1992 manual as I departed with my Dakota
june last year.

If you get code I will look them up for you
or tell me the problem your having.

I think the connector is hanging near the
A/C expansion valve on pass side

1996 and newer vehicles use the OBDII scanner. 1995 and older can't use the OBDII scanner, and will have to use the OBDI or other readers.

Checking Fault Codes

To obtain fault codes using the MIL (Check Engine Light):

1. Cycle ignition key to ON, OFF, ON, OFF, ON within 5 second (do not actually crank engine!!)

2. Count the number of times the MIL on the instrument panel flashes on and off. The number of flashes represents the trouble code. There is a slight pause between the flashes representing the first and second digits of the code. Longer pauses seperate the individual two digit trouble code.

Example: Lamp flashes 4 times, pauses, then flashes 6 more times. This is an indicates a DTC of 46.

3. Lamp will always flash 55 at the end of the test. This signals the end of the test.

    If 55 was the only code you received then that tells you that your computer didn't have any error codes. While the OBDII is more accurate, the MIL system on the older vehicles pretty well covered the main systems.

2WD. Where is the headlight relay?

The headlight relay for a 1998 Dodge Dakota is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) under the hood. The PDC is a black box located on the driver's side of the engine compartment. The relay for the headlights is labeled on the underside of the PDC cover. You can refer to your owner's manual for a diagram of the PDC and the location of the headlight relay.

Why does my instrument cluster not pull out, even after removing the screws from my 1993 dodge dakota, bulbs burned out and Im trying to replace them, any ideas anyone?

If my memory is correct, a 93 Dakota still has a speedometer cable which may be holding it from pulling out. Look under the hood at the firewall to see if there is a cable coming out in the engine compartment. If there is you will need to try and release it from the back of the speedometer or disconnect the opposite end at the transmission (or at the speed control servo if it has cruise control) so you can pull out the cluster with the cable attached.

The blower motor in my 1989 Dodge Dakota suddenly stopped working. Will not blow anything on any speed or on hot or cold!

Have you checked for a blown fuse first. There are two fuse control panels - one under the driver's dash board and one in the engine compartment. The one in the engine compartment should have the blower fuse. If the fuse is good, check the blower relay (this is also in the engine compartment). The cover to the fuse box has a diagram of the fuse locations and descriptions. "BLWR" is usually used for blower.
