Message:
hello everyone i'm glad i found this forum,
my model is a 1990 3.9 2wd. this morning i went to start it and nothing happens when i turn the key.
i have no accessory lights on the dash either.
my battery is charged & the heater blower works when the key is on and thats it.
i have a new starter that was installed 6mos ago.
i cant figure this one out anyone ever have this problem.
thanks Lamont

Check fuses and ASD relay in underhood fusebox
Check wiring under that fusebox and possibly back to firewall.
Look for splice of 3 or 4 wires - redo this splice
( has probably corroded away )
May also need to check all [ quick disconnects ]
in heavy cables from battery !

thanks for the reply but there is no fuse box under my hood unless its hidden very well, this is a 1990 dakota,i've changed the starter relay & ignition switch problem still here.. i did mange to get it started with the old ignition switch after i took it apart and touched the correct contacts to get the ON position then i had a friend start it from the starter and it worked i guess this rules out bad wiring fro the ignition switch. could this be something with the tranny cables??????helpppp

I recently had the same issue. Have you found anything else out about the cause?

Your china starter is most likely the problem.

You have a rebuilt junk starter.

Its not a starter problem. there is no power coming out of the switch at all. But I found the issue, there is a fusible link that picks up signal from one side of the ignition switch that feeds the upper half of the switch, which had melted in multiple spots. spliced in a new wire and fired right up
