I have 1 '94 Dakota with 3.9 & 5 speed transmission.It recently quit on me as I was driving down the road. I have had this problem before a couple of years ago.The check engine light,now & then wasnt/isnt coming on when the key is turned on when it goes through the bulb check. After a lot of hit & misses I did as several people advised & bought a new computer (PCM)and still nothing.
Well, I found ( by trial & error) a loose wire (ground) in the temperature control switch on top of the engine,I tightened it up & the problem was fixed for two years.
Now,here I am again with the same problem,but its not the wire (TCS). The check engine light wont come on at bulb check,NOTHING. A scanner does no good because the check engine light doesnt come on. ANY SUGGESTIONS ????

All replies will be appreciated.

Check wiring under the ASD relay
in underhood fusebox.
Look for a splice of 3 or 4 wires -=- probably
needs re doing .. If not at that point -= the
splice will be found further back in the harness
towards the firewall .
You could also try switching the ASD relay with
another one..

Thanks for thr reply.I did as you said & sure enough there was a bad splice in the wiring under the fuseblock under the hood. There were some wires corroded & broken in two.
I also repaired the Temperature Control Switch plug in. After charging the battery, It started right up,ran a little roug at first,but it had been sitting since the first week of September.

Thanks Again.
