Hi there i have a 96 Dakota V-8 318 and it will not have a fuelpressure.I start to look at fuse and relay but it seems to be fine and the next thing i do was to look at the fuel pump and it do not work with the switch to run or start but when i am wiring starigt to the pump it works fine.I have no manual or wiring diagrams and i am almost given up of this car and took it to carshop and they have been trying to find out for 4 days with no results.I am worry about the bill they send me so please if anyone here can help me please send me a mail on gummifalk@simnet.is or contact me at msn at falk65@hotmail.com

Gudmundur, go to this thread and read about the connection near the underhood fuse box. This is a common problem with your generation of Dakota:

I don't have a wiring diagram but, I would have thought that would fix your problem. Maybe the repair shop damaged something while troubleshooting. I found this thread here, it may contain information you can use to troubleshoot:
