I have a manual for a 2004 Dakota that is probably similar to the 2006 electrically. Dodge never called it a Body Control Module; earlier models did have the Central Timer Module (CTM) which functioned like Body Control Modules in other manufacturers vehicles.
In 2004, the CTM was replaced by the Integrated Power Module (IPM), which consists of the Front Control Module and Power Distribution Center, and is located next to the battery on the left inner fenderwell (the Front Control Module is underneath the Power Distribution Center, where you will find relays and fuses). There are several other modules which control various functions, and they communicate with each other through the Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) bus circuit, also called J1850.
The Front Control Module controls all exterior lights, except brake lights and turn signals, and the windshield wiper functions. Other modules (PCM, TCM, antilock brakes, heated seats, instrument cluster, power locks/power windows/power mirrors, etc) control other functions, but all communicate through the PCI bus.
Greg, you may have to transfer everything from donor truck to make the swap work tranny , computers, wire harness, fuse/relay center etc. Check the attached links,forum for Dakota engine swaps,instruction and guides, Good luck

Shift B solenoid faulty. If replacing one then I suggest replacing shift A solenoid as well. They're located in the lower vavle body of tranny. Hope this helped.
1997-2004 you have all the parts you need if you find any of these models, that between the body you get, and your totalted dodge, you have a very wide selection to choose. You may be able to go back even earlier, but to make the swap easier, I tried to stay within your bodystyle, and I think you should too. If you do this you will have several body parts that will interchnage. Basically if the body you get looks like your truck, it will be the easiest.
Yeah, generic "circuit malfunction" codes, it's a bad solenoid or two or valve body, either of which can be fixed by a HONEST transmission guy with high end diagnostic gear CHEAPER than a new tranny. OR...you can check solenoids yourself as you replace tranny fluid/filter, new fluid and filter did it for me once
maybe cold got a vavle stuck in the vavle body maybe will come unstuck if dont have to go into it .is it a 700r-4 trans.??if is check detent cable maybe out of ajustment .
Sounds like a tranny valve body problem.There's a down shift cable attatched to the throttle linkage (where the accelerater cable is).That cable may not be adjusted right.However if you dissconnect the cable from the throttle linkage try to pull the cable out to where it stops(it'll retract by itself).Then let it snap back.(repeat a couple times).This may unstick a vavle in the valve body
