Head lights work but no dash or running lights 1991 dodge dakota

How about the rubber flex hoses restricted

In the rear you have an abs hcu you can throw way
& bypass,then unplug the controller up under the dash
on the passenger side

Also the rear brake cables won't work for rust,they have to go also

I had a 1992 Dakota for 18 years

Leave the wire off the proportioning valve as the vehicle is wired wrong & if your bleeding it ,it will melt down the wires in the ignition switch (been there) Vehicle is not the same as the factory wiring diagrams

check the headlight switch,

sounds like you've been really trying, you say there is no power at the light bulb socket and you checked your switch at the transmission. did you check for power at the transmission. this will tell you if the problem is at the front of the truck or in the rear.

Assuming the switch is not the problem, check the bundle of wires that come through the firewall next to the brake fluid reserve. I suspect you have a dead short that needs to be fixed

check under the dash a plug is unplug is un pluged or u have cut wires

ground wire at the bottem of dash on driverside kicker panel next to em-brake handle

it is on the passenger side on the back off the motor.there are two allen head bolts or 13mm.it goes into the transmission and normally has rubber at the opening.you should be able to gets this from the top follow middle of valve cover on pass. side the go strait back toward the fire wall.please rate this answer.

Check to be sure the connections are good at the power to the battery. One part splits to the starter, the other to the truck's other electrical systems. Good luck

What happens when you run a jumper wire from another fuse cavity, directly to brake switch?

If you have a trailer plug installed trace the wires to see if there is a bare spot or broken wire.If no plug then you need to check for bare wire or broken wire from tail lamp assemblys to where the wire plugs into main wireing harness.
