2002 Dakota electrical problem

Two days ago the headlights, interior lights, and the power door locks on my 02 Dakota all quit. Turn signals, brake lights, and all other electrical systems are working correctly. Can anyone help? Please email me at bigroblee@hotmail.com. Thanks!

Down by the drives door, on the wall of the cab right where the curve of the door is, is a black box with wires comming out of it. I had a similar problem and pulled out the plastic covering of the cab and found the black box behind it.

Hope this helps

Mine is an 03

My 02Dakota diedout and I had someone gave me a jump start just to make it home. The next day I went and bought a new battery, hooked it up. I turned the ignition on and it seems that everything is working normal except the HEADLIGHTS,DASHLIGHTS,INTEROR LIGHTS, AND THE TAILLIGHTS did not come on. The brake lights, signal lights, and the hazard ligts are working.
can anyone help? Please email me at vehikite9@aol.com. Thanks!

Rob Have you cheaked your fuse box under the hood ?

My horn and electronics connected to the steerring wheel horn assembly area have quit ( including radio controls and cruise control possbly air bag?) all fuses appear to be in tact including those under the hood and by the door and associated relays appear to be functioning. I am at a loss as to my next step (besides the dealer!

my horn stopped working dakota

Horn quit working and the air bag light stays lit on my '01. Fuses all appear good. Suggestions???

I have a 2000 dakota that is giving me alot of problems. At first my brake and ABS light came on and off intermintantly then one day it just stayed on. That day also the speedometer quite working, but after about 20 miles or so it worked for a few minutes then went dead. I then got an engine light a few miles later. I ran the dtc code and ended up with a code P0500 ( Veh speed sensor malfunction ) and a P0138 ( O2 sensor circut high volt bank 1 sensor 2). So i got the parts and went and changed them well one of them, the speed sensor. I then started my truck up and got no engine light but no speed reading. So i check the codes again and got a go. Now the truck is lunging when i accelerate in a high gear. It sounds like it wants to kick into passing gear and then it just falls out and bogs down. Does any one have a clue what might be happening? Please email me at jonathonarkenberg@yahoo.com

We had the same problem. Turned out to be the box that Palmer spoke of. We replace (ez) and all's well.
