Have you recently gone to a dealership expecting to find/purchase a cheap new (not used) sedan and found it to be more expensive than expected? Or did you even end up purchasing a new SUV because it ended up being a similar price to a new sedan?

I'm not sure on this year but my Dakota has a starter relay in the small electrical box drivers side.
You might also try the DODGE Forem, this sight specically for dodges only.
Good Luck! Rick J
ps. you should never have to get you'r injectors cleaned the injector cleaner that you poure in with you'r gas once in a while is more than enough to keep them clean. and if you don't like to use cleaners than just fill up with higher grade gas once in a while because the have more detergents and cleaners than regular gas.
please help had a complete tune up 1 year ago

time. Replaced and has been fine since.
2nd time this has happened:
Backing up (with a load in the bed) into my driveway (slight grade) and the truck dies. Try to start it and it only turns over. Went through all the fuses and also under the hood wiring. Bought a used computer and it started right up. Drove 70 miles that same day, got home and it did the exact same thing... backing in to my driveway...
>>>Weird thing is (both times) the Cruise Control button light (green light on the on/off button) on the steering wheel stays ON... even when the key is off and out of the ignition.<<< Now I have 2 bad computers... or can they be cleared/flashed or what?http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com/media/townhall/webxi- cons/emotorcons/emo_confused.gif
Might consider rolling it over if I can just get it running again...http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com/media/townhall/we- bxicons/emotorcons/emo_wink.gif
Thanks in advance for any help...
You must cut into harness to find them. according to my sources these wires are arcing w/ each other & can cause ECM to go bad as mine did twice before I actually found the problem. Good luck!
fuel pressure should be 45 psi if no or lowpressure fuel pump relay 1st ,then check
crank sensor/ Check spark next if no spark check crank sensor then coil.
This is the best way to start your quest.Let me know how it goes & please don't just replace these parts really check them. Rick
Next check your crank sensor for continuity if no readings, replace.
You ssaid you replaced pcm. After you start it if it dies again it means the bad
splices shorted your new pcm. You can get another under parts warrenty.
I think thats about it for now. bmrjoyce
I can cross the terminals on the starter with a screwdriver and get it to start but nothing by using the key.
Had it towed to shop two days later. When it got off the tow truck it started up and ran fine, with no engine diagnostic codes stored; so I drove it home.
It ran fine around a month and the problem occurred again. This time it won't crank or start. With key in ignition turned to "off" the gear indicator lights will cycle through "P" "R" N" "D" "2" "1" continuously. With the key turned to "on" the gear indicator lights continue to cycle sequentially on and off, the gage/indicator lights with light and stay lit, the odometer with flash several times and then "no bus" will appear in the odometer.
Replaced the battery....no change. Saw prior posts about replacing the crankshaft position sensor and/or PCM, but don't want to proceed with those without a stronger indication they are actually a problem.....
Any suggestions?
did you replace the wires one at a time? Does it backfire? then your wires can be in the wrong place.
Check your coil. A coil can go bad at any time.
Hope this helps. please write back & let me know.
