R5 in the Engine Compartment Fuse Box

Here is what I have for a Dakota. There is a pink wire that goes to the brake light switch, but nothing for the headlights.

Did you check for voltage at the 50 amp fuse circuit. Even if the fuse is good if no voltage on the fuse circuit, the circuit is still dead. There is a light green wire that carries voltage from headlamp switch to dimmer, is that wire hot with headlamp switch on?

There are wiring diagrams for free, just about everywhere, if you don't have one. Autozone .com has free wiring diagrams on vehicle repair guides link. You have to register your vehicle, year--make--model, all that good stuff. It's free.

Sounds like a short in the wire somewhere. Either wires are shredded somewhere and touching. Check exposed wiring for problems. Check all lights on that fuse circuit.

Hope this helps at least some. Good luck!

The fuse and blower relay is under the hood...on the left fender in a black box..if you open it up..it will show you what is what in the lid of the black box..i hope this will help

check ground wire

have you found the passenger compartment fuse box? it is behind the knee blocker panel in your truck, you have to unscrew 5 screws to get to it. once you get there you are looking for a 20 amp fuse, it's fuse number 8. hope that helps

Hi.
On your 98 Dakota.
Is equipaded with a single Flasher.
If you replace all ready.
Check the FUSE # 10, 15 amp..
On the Fuse box. left side of Dash.
and the FUSE D 25, amp. On engine compartment Fuse box.
Check the proper funtion of the HAZARD switch.
Bacause if the Hazard switch is bad the turn signal don't will work. Match the OLD flasher with the New one.

If after of this still not work.
Remove the steering wheel cover, locate the Turn signal switch connector and with a TEST Light check power with the Key ON
12v. to the RED wire and PINK wire..
If you found 12v. check the connection with the switch.
If the connection is good. you will need to replace the turn signal switch.
But if you don't found 12v. You need to look a an open circuit.
And fix it..

I hope this help on your problem..
Thank you for use fixya...
