have a Dodge dakota 2wd 3.9 v6 1994 Auto.
I was driving down the road the other day and the motor just completly shut off on me.
So i took my old battery in and it test 10.1 amps not 12 amps. So i got a new battery
put it in and it didnt start. So i checked the fuses under the hood. The ignition switch
was shot 40 amp green. It fired right up. But now for some reason my horn is dead . The
tach is stuck the abs light and brake light is on. And the big kicker i have no brake lights
or head lights. No radio. But all my other gauges work and signals/flashers. But sometimes i can start it and the tach will work. But when i pull the headlight switch or hit the brake pedal it will automatically stop the tach gauge to where ever its at.

check your grounds
the comp controled vehicles switch the ground
on off unlike the older vehicles which switched
the +12 volt side
a bad ground will cause all kinds of probs

TAG: No Tach, ABS/Brake light on, no horn, radio, headlights, or brakelights. First off, I know this post is 6 years old. Found it while reading the archives. Since no definitive resolution was reached, I am offering my solution to this exact same problem.
I found the big firewall connector outboard and low next to the brake booster had corroded so badly that the bottom row had a pin completely gone. Having low finances at the time, and a shed full of junk, I spliced in a piece of #10 THHN, bypassing the connector. Cleaned the connector as best I could, coated all the contacts with electrical contact grease, and resealed the weather boot. Two years later, no problems.
