ben wrote found it! the wiring bundle under the dash drivers side was resting on the top of the parking brake assembly. each time i pushed the parking brake the top of the pedal rubbed chafed and wore 5 wires in the harness. i have separated them taped sealed and spliced the damaged wires. let this be a cautionary notice to all other dakota owners to check the placement of their wires under the dash. thanks for your help!- ben good job! thanks for reporting back with the results. bob .
