How do you hook up the the door speaker on a 97 door to a 2000 vehicle? I own a 2000 dodge dakota, and had a huge dent in my door so i replaced it with a salvage yard door, but it is a 97 door. The wiring for the speaker on the door seems to be a little different can anyone tell me how i can hook the speaker up? Its the wires that run through the little rubber boot from the door to the side of the truck..

Replacing multi-switch on 2002 Dodge Ram? If I acquire the switch at a you-pull-it type of salvage yard, do I want to avoid trucks on which the airbag has been deployed?

I need an engine fusebox for my 2000 dodge quad cab dakota. Chrysler doesn't make them.? The electric cooling fan (auxiliary) relay blew out and got so hot that it melted the fusebox where it plugs in. Now, no relay will make contact in that particular hole. The truck computer wants to see it so I get an engine light on all the time and it won't pass inspection that way. Salvage yards around here don't have one either. They apparently only used this particular style of box for a year, maybe 2 or 3, I don't know, then shifted to one about half again as big. I called some online places. No dice. I'm not a great mechanic, but I can bolt an auxiliary fan to the front side of the radiator and put a switch in the cab, no biggie there, but that won't solve the problem where the computer wants to see a working relay Thank you very much for any suggestions. -Kevin

1998 Dodge Ram 1500 V8 dies when i let off the gas.? Initially it wouldn't start at all so we took the battery in to test at NAPA. The battery ended up being bad so i bought a brand new battery from and took it back home and put it in. At this point the starter would click but it would not turn over. The car sat for a few days and I went out to try and start it a few days later only to find that it would no longer even click much less turn over. A little research online told me it was either a problem with the alternator (draining the battery when the car was off), the starter or both. After a bit of work we got those off and took them in to NAPA to test. As luck would have it, they BOTH were bad!!! I couldn't believe it but I went ahead and checked the local salvage yard to see if I could find some used ones so that I would be able to eat for the rest of the month (HA!). After a few days down time we put them in and found the battery had been drained from the previous alternator. So we jumped it and started it up. It started up but turned off as soon as i let off the gas. Tried it a few times and after a few seconds one time it started to smoke so i disconnected it and here I am. My funds are nearly extinguished and I'm not yet ready to sell my soul to pay for tow truck and mechanic. Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated. I most definitely needed to replace every one of those things as I took them out and had them tested independently of the rest of the vehicle. The battery was completely drained and would not take a charge - therefore it needed to be replaced. The alternator and starter were both tested at NAPA auto parts store and ruled failed. I realize it's rare for that to happen, however unless NAPA's machines are broken (which i highly doubt) the problem is something different. I read somewhere online to check the cleanliness of the IAC (idle air control) motor. Does that make any sense to any of you mechanics out there? If so could anyone point me in the direction of how to clean it myself (if possible)? Thanks
