Hey, my trucks acting up and I can't find the problem. My head lights, blinkers and brake lights all work fine, but my parking lights, plate lights & dash lights wont work. I've tried all the fuses and new bulbs. If you could help I would much appreciate it, Thanks.

Hey L.j., check your headlight switch to see if the plastic melted and is causing the wires to short out.

L.J. - check the splice in the wiring harness under the underhood fuse/relay box .
I am assuming you checked the fuses there as well ?

Thanks,"Superbee"(very cool cars!!)Love the old Daytona's and Superbird's too!!!In a position to sell the Dakota and buy a 87' Dodge Daytona,2.5 ltr,auto,loaded,83K miles (original)-runs great.BUT...I hate to part with the Dakota,only had it 4 months,got great potential for a bad-a** off road/on road ride.

keep the 91, sell the dakota, and get the daytona, makes the most sense to me
the 91 is SOOO cheap and easy to lift compared to the dakota
