I have a 01' Dakota Quad Cab with the 4.7L What is happening. My engine light comes on with my abs and airbag light. my speedometer wont work. my A/C wont work but the fan still does and whatever setting the position of the vent setting is in, it will be stuck in that position. Cruise control will not work. all of this happens at the same time. this will happen and last a day or so, and then everything will work fine for a couple of days. then it'll happen again. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
I sent my suggestion early in this week.
I think he has a weak computer with some parts that open when the computer gets warm. I suggested he find a friend somewhere that
services and repairs vehicles. If this friend will change the computer
with a used one that he has the problem may be solved without high
cost
These codes do refer to the specific symptoms you describe, so unless you had a fire in the engine bay i'd think the problem could lie with the ecu as this is where the sensors/switchs are controlled/connected to ,would need a thorough diagnosis , better to be carried out when the faults are present ,a usual practice is to leave vehicle with the repairer so they have a better chance of seeing what actually happens , hope this is of help

well because the abs light indicates a problem with your anti-lock braking system you need to find out why it is on.... keep in mind one quick way you would disengage your cruise is with the brake pedal.
under the hood is a fuse panel (often located near the battery) ... see if there is a relay in the for your cruise... replace that.

This is a iindication of Hi resistance in your starter, thus starter May be on its way out

It means that it didn't receive a signal from the transmision module.
Have your transmission control module checked.
To reset your engine codes:
Remove the negative terminal of your battery (10mm wrench).
Turn your ignition key to START and hold it there for about 15 seconds.
Turn your ignition key to OFF and remove it.
Connect the negative terminal of your battery.

do you have a test light??? you need to find out if power is getting to the starter. do the dash lights dim or go off when you try to start it??

Chys. had a recall about a year a go or so on dakotas and durangos to fix that problem, as my wifes 2001 durango she got a recall notice about it in the mail, she was told to take it to a dealer and have it fixed for free whitch she did, and just before that she got one about the upper ball joints to be replaced, and the dealer did that to, free of charge. I don't know if there is a time limit on that or not but it Might be worth looking into.
